UW secondary is much better than I thought. Hope Shaw has some second half adjustments.

Why aren't we giving more touches to Gaffney? Hogan is barely above 50%. We need to make serious adjustments. Strange game so far. I'm not comfortable.

Let's hope Skov is firing up the team in the locker room. Whose house? C-House!

Big TD before the half. Fine throw by Hogan. Hope it settles him down, but, the catch by Montgomery was absolutely stupendous.

Do all of the ridiculous unnecessary defenseless roughness targeting yada yada yada penalties take the fun out of the game for anyone else?

Just saw that replay. It didn't look like Montgomery looked back for the ball. It just landed in his hands. Let's pray that they stay in sync in the 2nd half.

No. I'm very concerned about player safety. If us, as mere spectators, have to sacrifice some excitement from the violence of the game to make the game safer for the ones that put their neck on the line, so be it.

No, but the wild inconsistency with which the penalties are called does.
GO STANFORD!!!

In my life time of playing and watching football since I know that you can't play full contact football without helmet collisions, its just not possible.. The penalties aren't protecting anybody unless coaches start telling players not to block which obviously will never happen.

Now we just need the pattented Ed Reynolds/Trent Murphy pick-6 and we'll drain the clock with a heavy dose of Gaffney and the TWU.

Looks like Hogan has settled down.

That last drive looked more like Stanford football.
In action on other screen during the drive, A's got walk-off singe after loading bases in scoreless game. GO OAKLAND.

Feeling better now. Settling down on O and D. We're going to need to score plenty more to come away with a W.

I can't decide if Shaw's obsession with runs up the middle (that mostly go nowhere) is either inspired play calling or obstinacy.
If he's doing it to lull the opposing defense to sleep, at which point he pulls out a big play, than it's inspired. If those kinds of plays are being run to prove that Stanford is tougher, well, he needs to find more blocking fullbacks a la Marecic.

I think partially Shaw's runs up the middle are to set up other plays, and partially because he feels we will eventually wear the opposing defense down. Is it going to work tonite? We'll find out shortly.

That last TD looks like it was set up by the runs up the middle. Washington sold out in the middle allowing a slant outside right end of line.
