You all must have watched a different game than I did Friday night.  Specifically,

1.  Nunes was not good, or even "fine."  The YPA stat was awful, he threw too many bad balls (even the bomb to Montgomery was underthrown, though Ty should have hauled it in), and he didn't ever look to even threaten to tuck and run.  At best, I would say Nunes was "okay," but only because I think the "dink and dunk" play calling was crappy.

2.  The defense was good to very good.  I don't get why people are bitching about a team that held SJSU to under 300 yards and 17 points, AND they came up h-u-g-e in Q4 when I, for one, was certain that SJSU would score the go-ahead points and leave Stanford Stadium with a W.  And if you factor in the fact that this defense was on the field WAY MORE than Cardinal defenses of the last few seasons, and I think it is very easy to give this unit an A- (B+ at worst). 

The problem is on offense.  And if that $hit doesn't get fixed - and soon - Stanford is staring at a losing season (a prospect I thought unfathomable going into Friday night).  I'm already in the "just eke out a W, any kind of W" mode - which is not where I expected to be until Week 3.
