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:
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.
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
