Great for JRP to close out his career with such a vital contribution.

The fan atmosphere/intensity was really strong at the game (at least in my section), with fairly loud results.

Credit I suspect goes to Mason for making adjustments at halftime, though it would take a sharper mind than mine to pinpoint what those may have been.

This is an elite defense, and elite defenses don't often give up more than 17 points. Yes, stretches look bad, but that is the game.

I wonder if Alvarez is kicking himself for not going for it on fourth and very short early in the fourth quarter. That was a headscratcher--but I suspect the first-half goal line stand was very much on his mind (as was the woeful Stanford offense in almost all of the second half).

Yes, I'm sure we could grumble about a few head-scratching decisions on the Stanford side of the ball, but I'm not interested in putting much effort in that at the moment. This has simply been the finest season of Stanford football in 40 years.
