If I can sum up, based on the subheads:
Dominant Defense, Improved offense, Questionable special teams, and a better schedule
Couple of caveats...
For the love of everything that is good in Stanford football, It is Barry J Sanders not Barry Sanders Jr.
Why discuss the departures and arrivals in Utah and ASU, since we don't play them. It's almost as if the writer started looking at what those teams brought back and was going to make a comparison, and then realized, "oops, we're not playing them this year".
But mostly I agree. I feel much better about the DL and while I'd be surprised if we are as dominant as we were last year, I expect another very good defense, and I expect offensive improvement. The schedule is indeed much more favorable. Still think it will be more like a 9-3 season than a Pac-12 Championship, but we'll see as we get closer to the fall. Injuries, of course, will be key.
