In the last three games, our opponents -- Oregon, Notre Dame and Utah -- have completed 67 out of 87 passes against the Stanford defense! That's an astonishing 77% completion rate!
And remember, Justin Herbert had a surprising reversal of form in Overtime, when he completed just 1 of 6 attempts. If you look only at passing stats during regulation time over the past three games, our opponents have completed 81% of their passes. Yes, 81% !!!!
I can remember many, many weak Stanford pass defenses over the 50 years I have been watching their games. But I can't remember ever seeing opponents complete about 80% of their passes against us over a three game period!
