Was really good.  Twinges a bit to see these guys have really moved on and aren't pining to suit up for Stanford and beat the crap out of Oregon.  I know, I know...its just me. 

Redrum - if you are nostalgic for the days when Murphy led the party in the backfield, he has a long post about his time at Stanford here - http://www.tmurphy93.com/go-stanford/

Also interesting to read his thoughts as he decided whether to declare early or come back for a 5th year.

For his final project for the [decision analysis] class, [Murphy] weighed leaving early against staying. And after choosing Stanford because of football, Trent stayed thanks to its academics.

“Statistically speaking, in almost every outcome, graduating in the long term was more financially successful than leaving a year early, especially with the average NFL career being around 2.5 years,” Trent surmised. “It was risky to come back. It could have gone terribly wrong, but I thought that I had my fate in my owns hands and was going to take the bull by the horns and go back.”
