... When you have a QB who can do it well, it works spectacularly (as in 2010, 2011, and 2015). When you don't have a QB who can execute it well, we struggle offensively (2012, 2014, 2016).
GOOD offense years...
2015 38 pts/gm (ranked #18 in scoring offense in nation) - Hogan 4th season
2011 43 pts/gm (#7) - Luck 3rd season
2010 40 pts/gm (#12) - Luck 2nd season
2009 36 pts/gm (#16) - Luck 1st season
MEDIOCRE or WORSE offense years...
2016 26 pts/gm (#82) - Burns then Chryst
2014 27 pts/gm (#79) - Hogan 3rd season
2013 32 pts/gm (#45) - Hogan 2nd season
2012 28 pts/gm (#72) - Hogan 1st season (Nunes)
2008 26 pts/gm (#66) - Pritchard

Just chiming in to note that per game stats are very misleading for a team like Stanford that deliberately plays at a far slower pace than most every other team in the country. Particularly for a stat like scoring offense, you actually can find per drive stats at bdftoys.com.
So, redoing the same chart for per drive numbers.
GOOD offense years...

2011 3.56 pts/dr (#2) - Luck 3rd season
2010 3.68 pts/dr (#2) - Luck 2nd season
2009 3.07 pts/dr (#5) - Luck 1st season
MEDIOCRE or WORSE offense years...
2016 2.22 pts/dr (#62) - Burns then Chryst
2014 2.30 pts/dr (#50) - Hogan 3rd season
2013 2.67 pts/dr (#30) - Hogan 2nd season
