Talk about recency bias. Was the game before K-State, versus UCLA, plodding and unremarkable with respect to the offense? Really?
Stanford laid a brobdingnagian pile of poo last Saturday, but that doesn't mean the rest of the season will play out that way. At least let the team play a home game before you put a fork in them. Going back to last year, we are in the midst of a 7-game roadie--when's the last time that happened in college football?
As far as what's going to hold Stanford back from returning to the glory days, I'm more worried about the defense than the offense. But there are reinforcements on the horizon, which makes me optimistic for the future.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
