I think Crawley has been a tad overrated by us buff fans. He has to be in the running for most disappointing. His effort is complete garbage too.Offensive Line is the biggest problem, I think.
Moment I knew it was over: when the defense couldn't get off the field on a 3rd and 18, giving up a long touchdown.
We can compete with mid-tier PAC12 teams, but still a ways away from doing so with the elite. Next week will be ugly too.
Only hope there is that unlike Stanford, USC beats itself at times.
Cu will outbeat itself more than usc beats itself. That's a lot of beating.
He's usually had really tight coverage (which is awesome), but has not made the big plays. I think the effort thing is an issue - he's allowed himself to get blocked too easily too often, and he gives a half hearted jog when chasing guys.I think Crawley has been a tad overrated by us buff fans.

We're nowhere near having the front 7 talent to hang with an offense like that.
Of course, MacIntyre is not in any way responsible for the lack of talent that led to the mismatch. It's gotta be Embree's fault!!!
1st down QB sneak my friend, 1st down QB sneak.....Of course, MacIntyre is not in any way responsible for the lack of talent that led to the mismatch. It's gotta be Embree's fault!!!
This. Totally this.Other than spruce I can't think of a senior on this team that I am going to really miss.
Other than Spruce, is there anybody from the Senior class that is truly any sort of leader or difference maker?Of course, MacIntyre is not in any way responsible for the lack of talent that led to the mismatch. It's gotta be Embree's fault!!!
Stanford is designed to beat every team like that. They do their thing man, period.I get tired of the same conversation after every game.
MM's not going anywhere after this year.
Stanford is designed to beat teams like us, and they have the talent to accomplish that against teams much more talented than ours. We're going to get smoked by them until we get much more talented, especially on the o-line and front 7.

True. The blame for the lack of talent is definitely shared. Senior leadership is paramount, though, and there simply isn't any in this class (yes, im even including Spruce as far as an on-field leader).I am not seeing many difference makers up and down the roster though.
