Here's a quote that jumped out:

"You face them, and the biggest struggle a lot of times is getting guys lined up," Ulbrich says. "Guys have never even seen those formations, let alone those styles of runs. I think the uniqueness and the fact that they're different from what we see week to week is a brobdingnagian advantage for them."

What's interesting is that those same words could've been used to describe the Oregon offense back in 2008 or 2009. I remember watching Oregon when Jeremiah Masoli was the quarterback there, when they were running all those misdirections and fakes in the backfield. It was like nothing I had seen before. As that offense evolved, the main gimmick was the brobdingnagian variety of formations -- again, like nothing I had seen before.

Now with Stanford, what's old is new again.
