Guys, the improved offense coincided with the use of the virtual reality system. I'm pretty sure there is strong evidence to support this.
I know I felt the offense would be really good in 2014, but I'm feeling even more sanguine about it now. Every position group has experience and decent depth. And each one gets a young and talented player infused into the mix. At OL it's Casey Tucker. At TE it's Dalton Schultz. At WR it's Trent Irwin. At RB it's Bryce Love.
Shaw likes to run, but IMO, this Stanford team seems suited to employ the Bill Walsh "short passing as substitute for running" approach because it has so many capable receivers at the TE and RB positions, and a receiver (Irwin) who can get open underneath. My guess is Rector is going to once again have a big year as defenses pay attention to the TEs, Cajuste, McCaffrey, and Irwin, and he gets behind the Safeties worrying about these other guys.
