CTC, I respectfully note in response to your "Stanford-tries-to gain-an-edge-with-personnel-groupings-even-if-cost-of-that-is-tipping" that in college, when an offense substitutes players, the refs sit on the ball to ensure the D has time to bring in substitutions, if desired. Thus, I think the chances of improving odds with personnel groupings are not that great.
I respectfully submit that every citation to "Chip Kelly's offense" or his ilk (see UCF) is a red herring. Respectfully, no one is suggesting that Stanford implement that kind of hurry-up, no-huddle, the-play-should-be-called-from-the-sidelines-by-the-coaches-after-they-see-the-defensive-alignment, for a variety of reasons. Rather, the more appropriate comparisons would be to pro teams that run more traditional pro offenses. And while I'm sure there is a less accomplished offense somewhere in NFL land, I'm also pretty sure that there are numerous teams with better approach/strategy/etc., starting with the ones in the Bay Area.
P.S. How many times this season has Stanford thrown for more than 200 yards?
    When is the last time a Stanford QB has thrown for more than 300 yards?
