I think the point Boston Card is making, StanFan88, is that maybe a bruising running back is harder to recruit than we had previously believed. During the dominant years, the coaches and pundits said Stanford adopted that style of offense because those were the kinds of players it could recruit more easily. Perhaps, it's true that these are easier to recruit, but not with regularity needed for sustained success.
