missed field goal missed tackles, throwin the ball to D linemen, turnovers, not running the ball down on the goalline #ingredientsoffailure- Chase Thomas (@CTcard44) October 13, 2013

I think Stanford would beat Utah 70% of the time, but make no mistake, this isn't a fluke win. Utah is absolutely outplaying the Card today.- Ben Muth (@FO_wordofmuth) October 13, 2013

You win some and you lose some. The difference between a good and a bad team is how you respond when faced with adversity. #gostanford- Kevin Anderson (@kanderson48) October 13, 2013

Rough flight back to SF. Bad thing about high expectations is big disappointment. Win over Ucla will help get @StanfordFball back on track.- Todd Husak (@ToddHusak) October 13, 2013

For a program that was built on Power you think we might consider running it at least once. Heartbreaker.- Tyler Mabry (@tmabry77) October 13, 2013
