Congrats Sparty, but....
....I agree with Scott. Absolutely horrible play-calls to end the game by Stanford. A fullback dive by Ryan Hewitt on fourth and one? He had 5 carries for 8 yards the entire 2013 season! I like the ball in the hands of a senior, but that's it. I think the coaches confidence in Gaffney was undermined after a couple poor runs in the fourth quarter, including a fumbled QB exchange (Gaffney recovered). The Cardinal did not play there best game, but that Michigan State defense is stout.
Let's hope the Title game is that competitive.
