Sounds like the guy "working through some things" will be Toilolo\'s surgeon.
If you gotta listen to a game rather than watch it, you could certainly do worse than have Fleming and Husak for an announcing team. I was a KZSU man for years, but now have shelled out for Stanford All-Access. It really helps to have pros doing the description. Garvin\'s mention of "hot routes" was echoed by one brief Husak comment during the game. Luck was pressured and threw a pass that was tipped by a defensive player. Husak didn\'t drop a beat, saying that Luck felt the pressure, was going to a receiver on a hot route but that the defense had figured out what the hot route would be and a defender had moved into the lane, knocking down the pass and could have intercepted it. Betting that only a former QB could see the play, know all the moving parts, and tell the audience with no lag or hesitation. Of course, for the past two decades the ex-QB I\'ve listened to most was Alabama/Raiders QB Kenny Stabler, who was finally bounced off the Alabama announcing team when he was popped for his umpty-umpth DUI. Even back when they allowed him close to a microphone, Stabler was so addled that Husak\'s analysis would have blown him away. Hope the Fleming/Husak team works a long time for us.
Cowboy\'s comments on our pass coverage are sobering. The only mitigating circumstance I can offer is that Husak said Stanford\'s pass rush scheme was very vanilla with a lot of the blitzing schemes held back to keep UCLA from scouting them. One can hope, I guess. Of course, makes one wonder whether some of those Sac St. completions early on were against our converted DE linebackers who might be great pass rushers but are overmatched against WRs. Anybody with video have an opinion?
