did the team quit on pete in the 2019 stanford game?
stanford was playing walk-ons and chemistry grad students at OL and worked us...
what was really going on? pete probably never had a team actually rebel or quit against him before

Thinking back to that team, my belief is that they had a lot of key pieces / seniors who were probably more focused on getting to the NFL than playing as a cohesive team (particularly on offense). I may be talking out my ass, but Eason, Fuller, Ahmed, Bryant, Adams, Opera and I'm sure I'm missing a few others all had stuff to prove as individuals and the clock was ticking for each of them.

Pete always dropped games to scrubs for no reason, outside of 2016. 2019 just had multiple

Last years team will forever be one of my least favorite. It was a tweeener team where the best players from the early Pete recruiting classes were gone leaving the guys who never did much as the senior leaders (Bacchelia, Fuller, Manu). The guys from the really good Pete classes were still too young. You had some guys who should have been your leaders but i don't really think wanted to be there and played like it (Trey Adams, Eason, possibly Hunter Bryant), and you had a HC who was burned out.
For me, it was that third group (including the coach) who were just going through the motions that really screwed up the season. -
What's crazy was that game was a week after we beat USC at home, probably the pinnacle of the 2019 season. The Cal game was a distant memory by that point and we were all dooging out after winning 3 straight and getting back into the top 15.

The score was much closer than the game really was. That was the worst Stanford beating we'd gotten since the Sark years, and it was by far the worst Stanford team we'd faced under Pete. If we don't revenge fuck them this weekend I'm going to be pissed.
