What might be an interesting stat is PPD on drives started on your side of the 50. That would strike me as a decent indicator of whether an O can consistently put together scoring drives. (Given the number of 50+ yard runs by Love, I suspect Stanford would still do reasonably well by this metric).
Stanford is ninth in the country on points per drive: https://twitter.com/SolidVerbal/status/9...6526789632
