Quick touchdown here and this is a legit ballgame.

Condolences, J.
That said, I don't think you can look at this game and play "woulda shoulda." I think the blocked FG-TD plus the onside kick for a TD more than made up for those missed opportunities early in the game. Stanford kicked butt, and frankly I don't think the final score did them justice. Really a shame that they lost to Utah.

Looking like a game vs Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl

Most of Stanford's team was recruited by Harbaugh. In a few years will there be a physical enough team to stop Oregon? I kinda doubt it.
GMs will have to wonder how well Mariota will fare in the more physical NFL. He's a tough QB, but his numbers vs. the blitz and pressure are terrible. Factor in the lack of under-center experience, and it wouldn't be surprising if we hear Blaine Gabbert comparisons. I think Mariota would be wise to return to Oregon next season and improve on his issues, because even an elite prospect with one glaring weakness can be a horrific bust in the NFL.
