Now that I have watched the replay it is clear that Fox tried to make it seem like things were in doubt. For those in the stands, for both schools it seems, the game was not in doubt after Ertz's catch.
If Stanford could hold Notre Dame and SC to 13 and 14 in regulation, then 14 was probably going to be enough. UCB looked terrible.
It was an odd game. Stanford fans, used to glorious offensive play, are having a tough time embracing the game plan oriented around the D. Still, it was very comforting to KNOW that UCB only wins with big mistakes from the O and Special teams.
Meanwhile, the PA announcer and the UCB AD seemed obsessed with watching "The Play" over, and over, and over again on their new tiny TVs.
