Drukarev has an interesting report on Stanford's no-huddle - washingtonismoney - 09-11-2014

Thought this was very interesting. I hope we continue to see it. IIRC we dabbled with it against UCLA for a drive and mothballed it for the rest of the 2013 season.

The roles must reverse against Army.Â
In sports, the longer a game is, the more favorable it is for the team with more talent. While Stnford wanted to slow tempo vs U$C, it will be advisable to increase tempo against Army. The Black Knights will be doing all they can to shrink the game. If Stanford does also, it weakens it's advantage of having the more talented athletes, and plays into Army's hands.
The key to this game is to score quickly and force Army out of its run all the time comfort zone. If Stanford is content to slow things down and run the ball a lot, the score will have limited opportunity to widen and Stanford will find itself in a real battle where it's margin for error becomes smaller.
The Army defense couldn't mount a pass rush against Buffalo. If that's the case, and Stanford provided great pass protection for Hogan against U$C, it sure seems like the game plan this week should be to throw more than pass, and do it at a brisk pace.

Pass defense is typically a weakness for service academy teams because they have a tough time recruiting talented DB's and their defenses don't get that much work against pass offenses (at least talented ones) in practice.
If we have problems moving the ball through the air against Army we definitely have problems.

I don't expect to see much this week that would indicate that any RZ problems are solved. If Stanford is actually going to get more varied & aggressive in the red zone there's really no reason to showcase it today. Better to work on fixing the basic things that were so screwed up last Saturday and save the gameplan changes for UW since they will have 2 weeks to work on them.

This is nonsense. Good teams execute, period. Against anybody. And they gain more confidence executing in games than practice. There is no reason to worry about giving things away to the other team when you execute everything you do well. Moreover, coaches always tweak things for every game.
