surprised that everybody`s down on alvarez...he`s hanging tough with what consensus considers the lesser team...he actually seems to have the mo going his way....

guy had a great run as a h.c....

agree with you weasel..taking that penalty, he realizes it has become a slowdown/field position game...saved 10 yeards..Barry knows Rose Bowls!!

Unfucking real

Clowns call that for 15 yards when he tries to avoid contact with him after an EXTREMELY late fair catch signal

Punter gets mugged horribly and its only 5 yards

not surprised that a dude with the moniker "four corners" gets the nuance of strategery.....:lol: :toast:

not saying that wisky can hold stanford off forever here...but they are in it with a real chance...

ummm...how many time does he think he's going to start a drive near midfield???

he doesnt have the lead so at somepoint he needs to turn that field position into points......on 4th and 1 from the 45 why he punted is beyond me......where is the 4th down play action pass or bootleg for a first into fg range

his trading of punts has led to stan now at midfield with an easy chance at the cover + possible 2 score lead and easy win.

he goes for 4th and 1 at the 45 and doesn`t get it it,he might be down two scores right now....it`s all speculation and second guessing...

Anyone else hear Musberger call Gary Andersen "the young man?" Guy is 48 years old! And here I was no longer going to be a young man when I hit 35. Nice to know I have at least 13 more years of being a young man to old fossils like Brent.

Wow! great call on the toss on third down play. Wisky has to hold them out of the end zone. No way they can score twice.

its not second guessing when i said he should have done it at the time

it's the end of the 3rd quarter.....how many times was he going to play the punt game???

at some point, stan is going to put together a drive...maybe just for a few first downs but the field will be flipped.....and viola, that's exactly what happened

ofcourse it`s second guessing...

neither team was doing shit....and alvarez knows that he couldn`t afford to give up that kind of field position with that much time left....


and they`re STILL down 1 score.....with a real shot at winning as a dog......

it`s so easy to criticize...wisky`s playing very well here...

personally i hope stanford hangs on(i have -1 2nd half)....but i don`t have any issues with what alvarez is doing...he has a chance to win with 5 minutes left...
