BC, you're a smart guy.
The question is not whose offense is "better?"
Â
Stanford's O should be better given the talent differential . . . and it shouldn't be close. But when you give away plays and surrender possessions, you equalize what should not be equal. Stanford should have a "close to unstoppable" offense with a good OL and a once-a-generation talent in Bryce Love. But they do not.
I just wish the Cardinal O would have the same mind set that basketball teams do in March Madness: every possession is valuable/important. You should maximize your chance at scoring every time (unless burning clock late is a good result in and of itself).
Having complained to high heaven about the O (to everyone's fatigue), I will say this: "beating the Utes in SLC is no easy feat and the team and coaches should feel good about that. If not for the two ejections, I'd say the D played very well.
On to Oregon. Hope they are as undermanned as Stanford will be next Saturday.
