While the TV broadcasters said Wesselman, SEA radio and stats say it was Flintoft all night.

It is always great when you scratch and claw out a win, and it indeed says something about the spirit and competitiveness of the team. However, it is clear we didn't play well. We just played slightly better than WSU.
Fears of taking a step backward were unfounded.

To put into context, "just slightly better than WSU" is well better than expected (the Cougs were favored by 13 or 14). Which is, of course, good.
So far this year Stanford's 5-4 against the spread, so no real strong trend of outperformance. Still, I think visually speaking the team looks far more motivated and well-coached than the backwash of the Shaw era, so the direction is positive in that sense.

This team has a perception that they are getting better and that their best games are in front of them. That is a force multiplier, especially in games like the WSU game where victory is attainable through effort. Statistically, we "lost" the WSU game everywhere but on the scoreboard. That can be attributed in large measure to motivation, belief, and continued effort. This team has pretty reliably shown those attributes, which is indeed a "good thing".

Argh! A healthy scratch. I hope it's not leading to a portal departure. He's our most disruptive defensive lineman.

I think I saw him in one sideline shot, looked excited and was congratulating a teammate. Hoping for the best that he sticks around. OTOH IMO he’s one of our best players and I would bet other schools are dangling a lot of dough in front of him.
