A silver lining? How about giving up no sacks despite having 50+ pass plays and playing a bunch of true freshmen on the line?

+1. Hunter Johnson had below 50% completion, 6.6 ypa, 1 td and 1 int against freaking UNLV today. Former 5* bust.
On the flip side, Northwestern 30, UNLV 14. 276 yards rushing.

Just for grins, I looked up the most points given up by Stanford in a season. I was a little bit surprised, it was Bill Walsh's second team, the 1993 4-7 team, which gave up 389 points. The '93 Stanford team had gone 10-3 the prior season and opened at #15 in the polls. In 1993, Stanford's defense had given up 96 points in the first three games of the season (14-31 at Washington, 31-28 vs. SJSU and 41-37 vs. #7 Colorado).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Stanf...tball_team
Stanford's given up 97 points so far this year.
Another oddball bit of trivia. David Shaw's coached eight complete seasons at Stanford, Harbaugh had four. Teevens' best defense was his last year, giving up just 233 points. Shaw and Harbaugh together beat that season's defense only two seasons among their twelve seasons coaching Stanford football.
Final bit of odd trivia: Shaw's best defense came in his worst record year, so far. 213 points given up in his 8-5 season, 2014.
The 2014 defense was excellent. We just didn't have an offense that year (until the last three games: UCLA, Cal and Maryland).

To my observation (perhaps by the numbers as well), Stanford's defense has trended down every year since then.

The numbers back that up, and will continue to do so next week when Herbert carves through our defense like a hot knife through butter.

After 3 games, we are 97th in the country at 6.3 yppa. Shoutout to Hunter Johnson for keeping us above 100th.

It's time to replace both coordinators and let them hire the position assistants. Shaw should get out of the way to be a CEO. He's a very good face of the program. Of course, I really feel Shaw is a problem in several areas on the recruiting side of things that I'm not sure get fixed with new coaching staff.
