The videos all seem to have been removed by the owner. None of them work for me.

After reading it through (without the benefit of seeing any videos) it sounds like this could be a very interesting matchup. Unless they change up their strategy a lot we could end up seeing a lot of downfield throws to Cajuste/Montgomery/Rector.

That's precisely what ND did. Their passing stats in the game weren't great but there were MANY dubious PI calls by the refs which bailed them out of several third and longs. It is what it is though.

Interesting.  Not the best situation for Hogan.  Stanford needs to either beat MSU man-for-man with speed and solid blocking in the run game or make those tight throws downfield in 1-on-1 coverage with MSU's CBs holding inside leverage.  WR corps needs to eat their Wheaties and polish their afterburners.

Curtains if Ty or Rector gets behind the corners.

Depends on how far behind the corners they get.  As the article states, the QB has a narrow window to hit the WR with the CBs owning inside leverage.  If the OL can give Hogan 1-2 more seconds, that's more separation...but also a longer distance within which to be accurate.
