That game sure was a Rorschach Test for the glass is half-full or half-empty for the Stanford Football team at the moment.

Putting aside all the things I saw that have been maddening to see in the past, manifested again, there was one overarching observation I had that struck me.  The players wearing Stanford uniforms look to be much more physically developed and "look the part" of a legit football team.

Now if they can just get the legit game planning and in-game coaching to go with it. My gawd.

Well, I suspect the game planned changed quite a bit without Mills.  Don’t you?  

They should have had 21 points in first 4 drives.  Missed opportunities. Put some on the calls, some on the players (the missed TD pass and Wilson’s drop of an easy first with room to run) 
And the one they didn’t is when he put McKee in on drive 3.  After two good drives led by West.  Obviously the plan was to make that move.  But it should have been scrapped until later.  Don’t change QB just to do it.  Not when you are moving the ball.

Good to see the o line play well. With Mills....Darn. Not saying they win. But I think it would have been a close contest
