1.) This is fun to watch.
2.) All the credit in the world to McKee. He's played a practically flawless first half. The absolute strength of this team is its receiving corps, and under no circumstances do I want to see anything like three running plays in a row. I fully expect McKee to make a mistake as USC is getting oh-so-close-but-so-far to him on a lot of plays, but I want to see the coaching staff continue to ride McKee for the next 30 minutes. He's earned it.
3.) Great idea to feature the RBs in the passing game. Clearly nothing that SC was expecting.
4.) The defense is continually forcing SC to convert on third downs. My biggest fear was that it would be gashed for big plays after watching the highlights from last week, but *so far* that hasn't happened. I think the arrow is way up on this secondary. Wyrick is showing real flashes, and Kyu Blu is the real deal.
5.) Stanford has gotten the benefit of some 50-50 calls but I hate how the Pac refs seem to insert themselves into every game. I hope few flags are thrown in the second half.
6.) Overall, Stanford's offense if winning against SC's defense, and SC's offense is winning against Stanford's defense. But the scoreboard shows how a game often comes down to just a few plays (e.g. an 87-yd touchdown run), and Stanford is making them so far tonight.
