In my view, the penalties were bad and at the worst times. More so than last year, which showed a bit of an improvement, but not as good as the early Shaw years in terms of discipline.
I felt like play calling was improved, as in, I didn't think what the heck was that, until later in the game. Execution was a different issue. Very few yac, etc. Running game looked decent.
That being said, once Stanford was running the ball well and got a lead, that should have been a clock management / run out the clock situation, especially in field goal range. So the coaching did not improve here. I posted some parallels with the SJSU game last season. Just horrific gaffes.
