From Bruce Feldman at The Athletic…

Text message from a college coach that I asked if anything caught his eye, “Stanford had like five guys drafted but not many wins. Crazy”. The Cardinal did have five players picked, one more than USC and UCLA and two more than Utah.  The most damning thing about it is Stanford had those five draft picks but only six total wins the past two years.

No further comment necessary……

Without OLine that can create an average running game and keep the QB up right, allowing the offense to stay on the field long enough for a thin defense to rest and to have a reasonable chance of getting a few stops when needed you end up with six wins in two years.
