Stanford 126, Humboldt 0

Stanford made a fast break into their seasonal play this weekend with a victory over Humboldt State. While the outcome was favorable, Stanford's play ebbed and flowed during the duration of the match. As support for breakthrough players was sparse, Stanford instituted a new policy of 'high fives,' allowing everyone on the team to work to touch fingers with the scoring rugger. Support for these star players subsequently increased. Clearouts also took it to the bridge, as Stanford elected to put LESS players into the breakdown in order to achieve MORE.

It was a fun day, with back and forward glory. When Stanford decided to do things, they did them well. Like an ice cube sliding down a dewy hill.
