A couple thoughts on other teams:
UCLA: They have now scrapped the pro style and gone to the spread. It has to be frustrating for UCLA to have been struggling to score points when the defense was playing great, but then give up 52 in a game they scored 45 with their backup QB, who BTW, is way better than Burns. The thing that makes this even more frustrating is UCLA is one of the worst teams in the country when it comes to running the ball. So this kind of puts a stake in the argument that if you can't run you can't pass.
Michigan: Obviously the closest thing to Stanford's offense given Harbaugh and Drevno coach there and were both at Stanford with Shaw. I'd love to see the same breakdowns in terms of under center, first down passing, etc. for Michigan. I don't think Michigan's offensive personnel is light years ahead of Stanford's, but Michigan's offense is light years more productive.
