Here's a wrinkle--and I wonder if others agree.

Steph qualifies as a naive observer; she knows very little about football but loves to watch Stanford play and win.

She said that before the Oregon State game, she'd never seen Kevin shuffle up out of pressure, keep his eyes downfield, and find a short receiver with a snap throw.  He did it at least twice in that game, one a key strike to Hooper, I think.

Anyone else have that reaction?

I definitely think Hogan'a pocket presence has been better. He's both moving in the pocket with his eyes downfield and getting through the progression more consistently.

It certainly helps that he has good reason to have more confidence in the OL.
