One second left. Three point lead. Jet Toner needs to kick it off. I'd squib it, and hope an OSU player touches it.

My heavens. The laces were actually pointed in the right direction. Miracle!
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.

To those who say "a win is a win..."
Sure, but good lord.
This was against OREGON STATE.

The cynic in me says Stanford won because Oregon State, unlike pretty much every other team Stanford plays, has a weak-legged kicker physically unable to kick a touchback.
I'm also unsure why Oregon State, with two time-outs left, didn't go for two against a tired Stanford defense. If they didn't get it, they would have gotten the ball back (assuming a three-and-out by Stanford).
But the clutch play of Davis Mills is truly a reason to celebrate. Wow, he made quick decisions and was pretty much laser accurate.

When you are 1-3, any win is a good one.
Nice to see Mills have a good game.

Disaster avoided. Get ready for the Huskies, they're gonna be a whole lot better. This level of play won't get it done.

So why did we spike the ball with 6 seconds left? Why not with 3 or 4 seconds left? There was a one-second difference between the game clock and the play clock. Wouldn't the game have been over without needing to kick off???? Please help me understand.

Just guessing but he probably meant to spike it at 5 seconds and there might have been a slightly quick whistle. Plus, I suppose the more the QB waits in that situation, the more certainty the D has about exactly when it will be snapped.

Did Paulson Adebo graduate last year? I’m asking because our guy on defense with 11 on his jersey is playing a lot more like he’s Pat Paulsen than the Paulson Adebo who used to play for Stanford... He’s been off all season but seems to be getting worse. Troubling.

So we could call time out if we fumbled the snap. Just like we did in the Big Game in 1982.
Oh wait, we had already blown our timeouts. Never mind.
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.

Nope. Just looked at the tape: the ball was hiked when both the game clock and play clock read 8 seconds left (there was a half-second difference between them). The ball was spiked at 7 seconds, and the clock stopped at 6. So I'm still left wondering about our clock management there.
