All this talk about the DL, but the OL was also weak.

I was at the game and it was extremely frustrating to see how Stanford got constant, almost immediate, pressure on Cody. Hogan had an eternity in the pocket. Stanford was using 6 or 7 OL and a TE to block and we were rushing 4-5 guys. We used 5 OL to block and Stanford seemed to penetrate at will with 3-4 guys.

How do we have one of the biggest OL, size wise, in all of college football and get pushed back all night by guys 40-50lbs lighter? Also personal fouls on Tuerk and Banner were killers. I know our OL coach is a nice guy and a players coach but maybe we need someone who strikes the fear of God in them instead?

That was a tough loss to swallow and definitely casts some doubts about our abilities to have the kind of season we all hoped for.
