They really keep giving us all the motivation we need. I love it.

1-0 every week until we take home the trophy. It’s the final poll that matters.

We were predicted to kick their ***. And we kicked their ***. We lost our best corner and underperformed in running game, OL, DL and Linebackers. Not saying we don't win it all. But I have no issue with us not moving. Stanford is not a good team.
