Christian McCaffrey and Alijah Holder returned to action this week against Colorado but penalties, stalled drives, quarterback switches, and a struggling offensive line continued to plague the Stanford offense all game. Stanford’s offense was bad and we all felt bad. Yet, thanks to several missed field goals by Colorado and a solid bend but don’t break effort by the Stanford defense the Cardinal was able to hang around in the game.
On Stanford’s second possession of the game the Cardinal offense was able to put together a 14-play, 66 yard drive that resulted in a field goal. The remaining Stanford possessions, however, were woeful.
