The reality is that we have decent experience everywhere just less depth in certain areas.

The biggest risks to this team in my opinion are that we can't afford injury to Phillips or Love. There is a big drop-off between those two and their replacements. Over the rest of the roster, I think we have Pac12 quality replacements if someone else gets injured.

Disagree with Love being that important.  Behind Love are Scarlett, Speights, Maddox, and then even Lund and Wedington.  All the RBs looked good in Spring, and Lund and Wedington are elite recruits at the easiest position in football to play early. Behind Phillips is maybe Peek and maybe Dalyn Wade-Perry?  Williams and Swann aren't big enough to play NT, IMO. 

Stanford could lose Love and still win big.  Lose Phillips and championship possibilities likely end.
