It has gotten less bad. Stanford is currently tied 14th and in a complete logjam. 8th place is only 3 strokes better and there are six teams within five shots of catching them.
I know Coach Ray well enough to know that he HATES double bogeys, especially when his team has to count them. I can just imagine him saying (not to his players), "Every gray hair I have is from counting a double" LOLOLOL
But seriously, they'd better find their A games tomorrow or it's gonna be an all-to-early trip home. Match play is still possible, but if they don't make the cut I think Coach Ray would be the first to say that it was a disappointing year.
Looking to the future, the problem is that there really isn't any firepower coming in the door next year. The two guys he signed are below 500 in the amateur rankings, and he loses Shimp who while a marginal player is nonetheless still better than others on the roster. Menon also graduates but he rarely appeared in the lineup and only in fall season.
