Alabama?  Give me a flipping break. They have the No 1 recruiting class in the country every year. Their  second team would win the Pac 12.

Did Stanford quit. No. They rested on the press clippings after the "monumental" win over the Huskies. Shaw was reaffirmed as brilliant, as was the staff. The O'Line was amazing, especially as they were so young. The D was once again stellar. Mills development was confirmed. Wrong-O Mary Lou.

Not sure they were resting on their press clippings, more playing the level one would expect where 3 or 4 players on your offensive line were playing high school ball last year.  Their strength and technique is a long ways from where it will be in the future ( I hope).  We saw what we should have seen the week before.  For whatever reason, Washington didn't sell out on every play to rush the passer.  UCLA did and basically West seldom had any real time to find his receivers and throw the ball.  My guess is that we saw what we will see every game from here on out and teams will stick with it until we show we can make them play for doing it.

I am not sure there is any system we could have run that would have enabled us to fare better.

Alabama has 4 frosh starting on the front 7. They're not getting pushed around.

The main difference in Wash and UCLA is not very darn hard to pinpoint. Mills vs West. Capice?
That coupled with the fact that they ran well against Wash but couldn’t versus UCLA. See point 1.

As for Husak, hes a damn good analyst when he wants to be. The rest of the time he spews sarcasm. And whines.  It got old a while ago.  
Maybe it’s time for him to get out of the booth and coach. He could be very good. And I mean that.

Wow.  And you know this how?  You compared pre Wash practices with Post Wash practices? Sat in on team meetings?  

Maybe you are right. Maybe  they kicked back after that game and lighten up practices etc. Maybe they sat around discussing how great they were smoked a bunch of fine cigars while sipping Don Perignon.  Gawd knows Shaw has a big head. Has no idea how to handle success. Such arrogance.

BTW, Mills didn’t play.
