Has a bye week ever been helpful to us against a formidable opponent? It's human nature to recall the bad more often than the good, but I recall being shocked on more than one occasion by a poor performance following a bye week.

"The Way We Were" nonwithstanding, I tend to agree with you, at least when it comes to Stanford football.
One of the most egregious I remember was in 1980, when with a bowl game on the line following a bye week we travelled up to play a 2-8 Kal team.
Despite having John Elway, we managed to lose.
It sort of set the tone for the Wiggin era.
