Are we expecting too much from JTD vs. Stanford?

I'm a huge JTD fan and emotionally I'm all in for JTD...but another part of my brain notes that we beat Stanford the last 2 times with Sam Darnold as our QB.

Let's review Sam Darnold's background before his 1st start vs. Stanford:
  • Red Shirt Sophomore (2+ years in the program)
  • 11 games as a starter
  • 5 away games as a starter
  • High Pressure Rose Bowl start under his belt
  • 1 Spring Practice as the starter
  • 1 Entire Fall Practice as the starter
Must JTD fill the shoes of Sam Darnold in only his 2nd start as a college football player in order for us to beat Stanford? His 1st start in an away game against a Top 10 team in the nation. Seems like that is asking a lot.

Our defense and rushing attack and O-Line must show greatness. Our WR's must be spectacular. This game can't fall entirely on JTD's shoulders.
