Title: Stanford Is The Best Defense We'll Play Against All Year!
Post by: steve dave on September 30, 2016, 10:01:56 PM
everyone kept saying that

Stanford probably has the best defense we'll see all year

people keep saying this. they were kind of mediocre last year and lost 5 starters. I don't know how good their recruits are and crap though.

Washington may be pretty good.  I expected UW to win, but this shellacking is very surprising and a little disheartening.  Stanford did go on the road and beat UCLA last week.  UCLA isn't chopped liver.

 In any event, we'll know a lot more about our team after tomorrow than the UW Stanford game will tell us.

Post by: Panjandrum on October 01, 2016, 12:54:58 AM
Stanford did have several injuries and both starting corners were out.

UW has a great defense, but that was known coming in to the game. It looked like a situation where the Stanford offense was just not getting the job done, and eventually, the levee broke on a defense that was relying on backups at a couple of key spots.

It's fine if you want to call out my quote, but coming into this game, the only two Big 12 teams with better yards per play defense were Kansas State and Baylor. And Baylor hasn't played the schedule that Stanford has.  Don't forget that in games against KSU, UCLA, and USC, Stanford gave up 36 total points.

Stanford usually shits the bed in a road game most years, and this was the first big statement opportunity for UW in a very long time, and the first under Peterson. When you combine that with the injuries and the fact that this was the last game in an absolutely brutal September for Stanford, it isn't a total surprise.

Finally, as MIR pointed out in that same thread, we are grading Stanford on the Big 12 curve. Not an everybody curve.

I'm with Wacky. Freeman was the most inconsistent QB ever and way too glorified. I honestly forget he was ever K-State's QB: beat Okie State and Texas a couple of times and don't remember any other of his Wins.

If you exclude Kansas and ISU, i may tend to agree with you.  But it's hard because they've played such a tough schedule vs. nearly everyone else playing some cupcakes.

They don't play a non-P5 school until they play Rice on Thanksgiving weekend.

every team has either had better offenses in very recent years or has never had a good offense:

oklahoma.
osu scored 27 on central michigan
west virginia hasn't scored 40 yet
texas hasn't played a decent defense
baylor is losing to iowa state
tech just lost mahomes
tcu had six points at half against smu

there isn't an argument that a big 12 offense is above average

We can look at these cherry picked nuggets, including one that is actually an indictment on a defense not an offense or we can point to the fact that half of the conference is in the top 25 of the nations highest ranked total offenses.

that stat surprises me because when i look at the conference i believe every offense is much weaker relative to last year's versions. i think i'm right about that and i think that means ksu has a great shot at 6 wins in the confy.

Not sure how I feel about this.  I mean if you had the chance to skip finals to go work for your career with no negative issues I bet most would.  Huggins talking to why@ many years ago about athletes going to college to get a career changed my viewpoint a lot.  Part of me likes the idea of sticking with your team, but the realist in me says eff risking millions of life changing dollars for a worthless exhibition game.
