I hate to say this, but i think if SC makes the right moves, the could rebound quickly. The key for SC is, IMO, to develop a QB. We don't have to look far to see what a difference good QB play can make. Just think Nunes and Hogan.  Stanford had great "chemistry," excellent work ethic, fantastic defense, but struggled mightily with teams we should have handled due to inconsistent QB play, until Hogan came on.  It sounds like Kiffin has ruined the attitude on that squad, but a decent, mature coach who doesn't behave like a snarky, entitled frat boy, will go a long way to change that (see: UCLA under Mora vs. Nieuheisel), and then SC needs just decent decision making and efficiency to be dangerous again.  I doubt it happens this year, but I think an offseason under the right head coach could turn this team around quickly.  Unfortunately.
