Believe it or not, the 59ers are actually rushing more than we are, 332 attempts to 302. I'm not sure exactly what happens to those numbers if you untangle sacks and scrambles, but in any event, their rushing game is much more that a diversionary effort.

The biggest issue is that the bears run many more plays than we do - the extreme hurry up thing.
So, the bears have run about 30 more times and passed about 100 more times.
The bears run on 46% of their plays - higher than last year.
Stanford runs on about 51% of our plays - much lower than last year.
The bears have about 29% of their yards gained on the ground.
Stanford has about 36% of our yards gained on the ground.

The teams are looking more alike than last year, bad for us all the way around.

The thing that surprised me, is that despite being way behind from the get go - we actually ran more frequently vs Oregon (54+%) than we typically have this year.
