However bad those problems were, those teams never "quit". Against Utah last year, no matter what one says about the relative stringths of the teams, IMHO Stanford quit, and quit pretty early on, possibly from the first play. This year's team hasn't quit, at least not yet. IMHO, quitting is the nadir.

Respectfully disagree. When Bo Nix outruns 11 defenders over 80 yards to the end zone, players quit. That was one of the most pathetic displays of effort I've ever seen from a Stanford team.
