How Stanford adapted to KSU's speed option

Nice analysis, but it seems to me that winning the second play was due as much to Eric Cotton putting "the left guard on skates back into the QB" as it was due to Joey Alfieri keying in on the RB. Had Cotton not won his one-on-one battle, Ertz simply keeps the ball and heads upfield. That being said, win or lose, it looks like the RB would always have more room to operate, so I am thinking that the OLB should always go towards the running back. Even on the first play, it is unlikely that the QB could have picked up 10, even if 4 and a first down was likely.

I actually think the KSU #56 RG blew the play by not engaging Cotton at the LOS. #56 dropped back as if in pass protection rather than run blocking forward.
I've also heard competing theories on what the unblocked defender should do when confronted with the option. Do you always force the pitch and hope that your commitment/speed/disruption causes the pitch to go poorly? Or do you contain the RB and funnel the QB inside where more defenders might make a play?
