Stepfan Taylor often gets overlook when people discuss our offense, but yesterday, he joined Darrin Nelson and Toby Gerhart as the only Stanford running backs to go over 1000 yards in at least two seasons. He's coming back for more, so expect him to be the face of Stanford football next year.

Stepfan Taylor had a gritty, yet productive game last night (loved his moves on that screen play), but one of the things I'm concerned about was how often Cal was able to drop him behind the line. One of the highly underrated parts of his production to date was his remarkable ability to never get dropped for negative yardage--but Cal managed to counteract that. Not sure why that happened.

Cal also had a lot of success at blitzing us with overloads and giving large portions of our offensive linemen nothing to do while pass protecting. In this case, it's often the running back who has to chip in well with pass protection, and Taylor is really excellent at that, but they were able to bypass him. A strange day from that perspective.

I think  a lot of that was in the drive Garvin has complained about elsewhere. The predictability of the call and our extremely limited credible receiving threats after Toilolo went out probably had something to do with that.

Aside from that drive, Taylor had 12 carries--four of which he was dropped for a loss.

EDIT: I cannot count. 12, not 9. Still.

kal had a couple of well-timed run blitzes a la Skov's timed blitz vs. ND a while ago.  if Luck sees that kind of shenaniganry developing, maybe he should try varying the snap count or a hard count of some kind.
