Not to question a winning effort, but I can't help but wonder why we don't try them more often when our offense is unstoppable and the D is what it is. It seems the few stops the D does get are in the red zone anyway so why not gamble with potentially getting the ball back at the cost of a short field. In researching online, I came across this interesting article about San Jose state:

There's really no downside.
If our D is not going to stop them anyway at least the Cal O will get the ball back faster.
And that might be important at the end of the game.

Seeing them work so well against us certainly makes me hopr our staff tries one sooner or later. As you note, it might make even more sense with our D.

WSU punted four times, so we had at least four stops outside the red zone. Not many, but still four.
