Yes I was right
Yes I believe Stanford will be 8-4 and a bowl game
On September 10, 2021, while many were predicting embarrassment and disaster against #14 USC, I posted this about the USC game:
Stanford will smoke these guys, 38-21. McKee will wow the country and be put on multiple watch lists. Kyu Blu will lock down half the field, have a pick-6, and make Slovis second-guess all passes. The offensive line will gel big time, and NFL scouts will start looking at Fisk for their d-lines. Shaw will become wildly unpredictable on both sides of the ball, and we'll see everything from old-school option plays to spurts of pass-happy no-huddle. It will be a glorious day.
The next day Stanford smoked those guys, 42-28. McKee wowed the country and went on multiple watch lists. Kyu Blu Kelly locked down half the field, had a pick-6, and made Slovis second-guess all passes. The offensive line gelled to the tune of 375 yards, Tucker Fisk signed with the Falcons, and Shaw was as unpredictable as we've ever seen him (taking points and a lead off the board against USC)! It was a VERY glorious day. So glorious that USC promptly fired Helton.
What's my point? Sometimes the optimists are right. This team has all the tools to stay in every game they will play, every game. So if Bob K says they'll go 8-4, I'll tip my cap to my fellow optimist. With 53 seasons under my belt, I've learned to never expect the expected....
