3.  Stanford's run D is still mediocre.  I'm wondering when some team will just say "screw the pass - we're going to run it all game long?"  You know, follow the strategy Shaw did when Stanford ground out a W over Oregon a few years back at home.  I still have no confidence that this D could effectively counter such a strategy.

I think Oregon tried this strategy and it didn't work so well, especially in the second half.

Oregon had no choice but to run.  3rd string QB started, and he couldn't pass.  Next guy was not much better.
