Some random postgame thoughts.
Nathaniel Peat is a better fit with the Stanford offense right now than Austin Jones. He should be starting at RB. Filkins should be getting more touches too.
Peat also looks dangerous on kickoff return. I think that he will break one at some point during the season.
Who was the staffer/assistant coach running with Peat down the sidelines on his TD run?
What happened to Bonner? Did he scratch before kickoff? Wyrick stepped up big time. Thought he played well from what I could see from section 203 (100 yards away from the action).
Stanford had no sacks and only 1 TFL (the incredible play by DWP who dragged down the SC RB by his jersey with one hand while he was otherwise locked up with an SC lineman). No penetration into the backfield. Playmakers on defense need to emerge among the front 7 but I don't know who it might be. Disappointing that we have seen nothing so far from the OLBs.
Stanford is almost at the end of a run of 7 consecutive road games carrying over from last season. They are 5-1 in those games with one remaining. Pretty amazing.
After everything that we have been through over the last 18+months, I cannot really put into words what it was like to be in the Coliseum with like-minded Stanford fans (not very many, maybe 1000 total including the football parents, but they were there) and experience joy and elation again.
More of this please.
