I thought this team had a shot at 7 wins, with 6 likely. Good grief we’re bad. 2 or 3 will be a miracle.

As for the quarterbacks, my 14 year old daughter is more accurate with her passes than either of these two guys, and she’s treading water.

I think it was a combination of first game/road game/very very early game effects.

I thought McKee looked good enough with some serious upside potential.  Receivers much better than I thought they’d be, just like the defense.  Once the defense — particularly the DBs — got into correct body clock time (2nd half), they were pretty strong and showed some real promise.  Was a little underimpressed with Jones and separately the OL, but hopefully that will work out in Pac-12 play.

Stanford’s football players, by definition, are much smarter than their opponent.  They should be extremely well prepared and able to both digest and work within very sophisticated schemes, and in their better years that’s the case.  With respect, I don’t think the current coaching staff is taking advantage of this presumed intellectual advantage.  That needs to happen.

I still think Stanford will take a massive leap before the USC game.  Call it 21-17, Stanford.

I like your optimism, Mick. I really do.

First game jitters are real, and we will make big improvements. But so will everyone else. Usc and UCLA will come out swinging. Don’t know about Vandy, but you can’t count anybody out.

I’m actually more worried about our defensive front than I am about our qb situation.  We got mashed up front a lot, even when fresh, and we will face a lot more of that of our O can’t sustain drives.  Qb play typically improves a lot with game reps.  D line play doesn’t do that as much.  Look for a steady diet of off tackle runs by usc, vandy, and UCLA based on our k state game film.

9am game time?!? Boo fricking hoo. My daughter’s water polo teams routinely have 7am games during big tournaments.
