2nd teamers definitely matter. If SJSU's 2nd team beats ours, that's a big problem. If we're up 35-7 in the 4th quarter and we have 3rd and 4th string guys in, and SJSU is playing their 1st string and drive the field for a TD, I won't feel good about it, but it won't impact my outlook for the season.

I imagine winning by a large margin will have a significant psychological effect on the team. Hopefully it would do more to boost their confidence than inflate their egos. If rumors of discord over the pick of Nunes for starter are correct, winning big with an efficient offense could establish his leadership.
