Just read the latest assessment of the SJSU, Stanford game. The reason that everyone is dishing on SJSU is that expectations were extremely high for this year's team. It's obvious that Stanford progressed more the the Spartans from last season to this season. Why? Because they recruit better athletes--3, 4 and 5 star. Now that's not saying that I'm denying that maybe the coaching transition has affected the Spartans more than expected. I think that's the case. Coach Caragher has a different mind set than coach Mac. Mac had a calm demeanor and I think that Caragher is a high energy type guy. Two things that worry me about Caragher. 1: his attitude about injuries. He says that it's mind over matter? What's that supposed to mean. Is he encouraging injured players to get on the field? That's troubling to me. Anyway, I hope that they all get on the same page and that Caragher doesn't take it too far.
