Come on! Stanford performed poorly, at best. If they're ever going to really improve, they, we, you need to be honest.

Interfering with a fair catch that was crucial? The ball hit a Stanford player. Down 3 touchdowns in the 4th quarter was the reason for the loss. Both teams have more work to do - especially Stanford's play selection - should have kept running the ball.
