Honestly I think this is all being over-thought. Yeah, Stanford's O has been slowing down for the past two seasons and that seems to be bleeding over to this year. But there are ten games left, some that will be real tests. If Stanford loses five times we can start to panic about strategery and downward recruitin' trends.
Teams lose games they shouldn't all the time. Hope that doesn't become a trend around here. I also hope never to see the words "perfect storm" again. I think Mick brought it up in a recent post, but it just reminded me of Terry filling pages of posts with that description to explain away Buddy Teevens turning 9-2 into 2-9.
Can't say I'm not a little concerned Stanford isn't taking that next step to perennial powerhouse, because I think the talent is there. I can't believe the football players are thinking about career choices while they are in game. (Plus I think that old meme was sort of BS anyway. Stanford just wasn't as good as a lot of their opponents back then. Now they are.)

Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working .I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. Peter Gibbons
