Just got home after my return flight from LA.  We were high up in the Stanford section and it was an amazing experience.  USC was incredibly fired up for this game.  When they scored and especially when they took the lead, their team and fans were going nuts like THEY were about to pull off the biggest upset in college football history.  Barkeley seems to play really well against us.  The lack of sacks and much serious pressure on the qb is one of my main concerns out of this game. 

But, I'm not in the mood to think about the negatives.  I am all about the post victory over SC afterglow. I think the team grew by responding to adversity with determination and without any panic.  It is insane to think about going for two at the end of regulation with Luck at qb and the rest of our offense even on the road.  This was just two good teams going at each other in an electric atmosphere.  The pick 6 by Luck at the end of regulation threatened to be the defining moment of the season.  Still, I felt like Luck would lead a good drive with almost 3 minutes still left on the clock.  That PAT that almost missed made my heart stop beating for a moment.  Overtime was just a wild white knuckle ride shifting from despondence to jubilation.  After the fumble, when we finished huggging everybody in the section, we had a rousing chant of "Whose house? Our house!"  So sweet.  Had a great bacon wrapped hotdog leaving the stadium and I didn't care at all about the hours and hours of total time we spent in traffic going to and from the game. 

This team deserves to be in the top 4.  Looking forward to all the remaining home games and hoping for a great finish to this magical season.

Cheers,
Pete F.
