Zach Ertz, unanimous All American - yvonne - 12-18-2012
Apparently, Zach made every single All America list both that votes for a tight end and is in the group considered for consensus All American.
David Yankey is also consensus All American.

Consensus All-American but not the best tight end in the country. Thanks, Mackey people. :-X
Re: Zach Ertz, unanimous All American - Oasis - 12-18-2012
Mackey committee just visible under dripping egg.
Re: Zach Ertz, unanimous All American - fullmetal - 12-18-2012
I don't think enough people see the dripping egg, outside of the serious fans, to understand how much of a travesty the Mackey Award was this year. Each one of those pro-Eifert voters needs to be punched in the nose. Sounds like a job for...GoodGrief!
Re: Zach Ertz, unanimous All American - Bruce Wang - 12-18-2012
Below is the consensus All-American team with the unanimous selections asterisked. What stood out to me is that Stanford fielded the best defense in the country without a single consensus All-American. The ultimate testament to team defense.

According to this article, it's the first time an unanimous All-American tight end did not win the Mackey Award. Oh and Shaw is a finalist for the Bear Bryant Coach of the Year Award.
With regards to this injustice to Zach Ertz, I'm calling these voters out on Notre Dame bias.

Re: Zach Ertz, unanimous All American - teejers1 - 12-19-2012
Stanford's defense wasn't the best in the nation by any statistical measure, was it?
Still, your fundamental point holds.
Re: Zach Ertz, unanimous All American - fullmetal - 12-19-2012
I think that Pac-12 CCG really put a dent in the defensive stats. Franklin and Hundley gashed Stanford for a pile of yards :(
Re: Zach Ertz, unanimous All American - yvonne - 12-19-2012
The CCG was a clinic in how to beat Stanford. (I know we won, but comparing the two games shows what we're good at and where we're weak.)
Re: Zach Ertz, unanimous All American - terry - 12-19-2012
Stanford's defense leads the nation in sacks and tackles for loss.
Stanford led the nation in rushing defense until the conference championship game, and is now 3rd in the nation.
Re: Zach Ertz, unanimous All American - teejers1 - 12-19-2012
I was thinking more of the basics:Â total yards/game; points/game; yards/play (maybe?); or even the big sub-categories like rushing defense and passing defense.Â
TFLs and sacks - that's very good.Â
But as Yvonne noted, UCLA still gashed the Cardinal. That was (and is) worrisome.

Having watched the 2nd UCLA game several times, I noticed that our inside linebackers (primarily Skov) would not see Franklin until he was already running by him. He does wear that clear eyeshield which he kept wiping off due to the amount of rain falling that evening...I can't help to wonder if that impaired his vision because on several occasions, he just wasn't reacting like Skov. I doubt we will see that performance again.
On the edges, our outside linebackers were commiting to a very aggressive pass rush that on several ocassions left them outside of the play. The offensive tackle would just help Chase or Trent along their rushing path leaving a brobdingnagian running lane on the edge that was heavily exploited by Hundley and Franklin. I am not sure why we did revert to a defensive scheme like we had against Oregon which was more focused on containing all run options without focusing so much on the sack.
Wisconsin has a couple of good receiver threats but are lacking greatly in the QB department. I do not see us being gashed on the ground again...expect to see a defensive scheme focused on stopping the run.
Re: Zach Ertz, unanimous All American - yvonne - 12-20-2012
Wisconsin has supposedly been playing with their second or third string quarterback most of the year. Their first string is supposedly on pace from his injury recovery to be able to play.
Re: Zach Ertz, unanimous All American - fullmetal - 12-20-2012
I hope Ertz has a stunningly high statistical total in a blowout win for Stanford. More eggs for that Mackey committee. How close is Ertz to the Stanford TE record books? Probably not as close to Fleener given Toilolo's contributions...

Re: Zach Ertz, unanimous All American - fullmetal - 12-20-2012
If you tell me that Ertz will have 4 TDs and over 200 yds in the Rose Bowl, I'd say that sounds like a win :p
