I don't think unpredictability is created from play to play, as such.  One has the fundamental basis of one's offense.  The manner in which the team riffs from that is important.  The deviations from core offense should be effected w/ purpose; both to establish further play extensions that are enhanced by the first deviation and to gain insight about the manner and capability of the defense in reacting.

The SC game seemed to me to be about executing our core perfectly - over and over.  The departures were not numerous, but they were sufficient to maintain the efficacy of the core approach.

The Arizona game, however, seemed to be a perfect orchestration designed to keep the defense entirely off balance with respect to the next play call.  The effect of our success in that effort opened up the entire playbook, which ultimately we did not need to reveal.

I very much enjoyed both games (obviously) but for different reasons.  I probably enjoyed the U.SC beat down more because they are  .  .  .  well  .  .  .  U.SC.  For so long when I was first getting into Stanford football, U.SC was depicted as tough guys.  We were deemed to be more of a finesse offense.  It has been highly satisfying these last few years that Stanford has become the intimidator - at least more so and to a degree that I think is unprecedented.
