Here\'s my question.  How can we look so ragged and blank the Bruins?

This captures exactly what I kept wondering for much of the second half. I guess while we didn\'t execute as crisply as many of us would have liked, we were solid and didn\'t commit any major mistakes either. There are many times over the past decade or so when I would have been thrilled to see unspectacular yet major-mistake-free football from Stanford. So I\'ll choke up my unease with the execution in this game to heightened expectations.

Of course, it helped that the Bruins committed serious blunders, from turnovers to field-goal-killing penalties, at seemingly every available opportunity.
