I don't know if it looked any worse up close and personal, but that was not a good showing yesterday. The last two games looked like equal opponents knocking each other around. Yesterday, Stanford showed they are clearly (!) the better team.
Stanford’s defense had everything covered, literally. I won’t repeat Godfather’s blog, but they had us figured out from start to finish.
And yes, our defense played their hearts out, but it wasn’t near good enough. The third down situation was fatal; again and again we gave up the four or six or ten or thirteen yards that were required for Stanford to advance. So while the on air commentary focused on our offense not giving the defense any rest, the D could have helped themselves as well. But, alas, they could not.
Our “turnaround specialist” head coach now has a new challenge before him: how to salvage a season. Fortunately for us, BC doesn’t seem that good, Pitt is a pretender again, and then we enter the soft part of the schedule prior to Southern Cal.
Time to start rooting for 6-6.
GO IRISH!!! BEAT EAGLES!!!

Yes we were super flat on offense. Have to give Stanford some credit too of course. Would sure like to get to 3 -3 in the next couple weeks.
