While Sciarra and Tyler were inflicting the physical damage, Stanford's fans were adding verbal abuse, booing Quarterback Mike Cordova and Coach Jack Christiansen. "It's too bad when the home team feels like it's playing in a visiting park," said Christiansen. Cordova added, "I enjoyed playing before 90,000 at Michigan when I knew the fans were for the other team. But I don't enjoy it when our own fans are also for the other team."
