Looks like fall camp has ended. One unfortunately serious injury (Fanaika), but overall it seems the team is very healthy. That's always good news.

Here are a few of my unanswered questions about camp, if anybody has any thoughts:

1.) Burns. No surprise that he's behind Crower, but was there improvement compared to the spring? For the last two years, Stanford has had packages in place for the back-up to take meaningful snaps. Presumably that's not the case this year, but, if so, I suspect Burns would be the guy doing this.
2.) Secondary scheme. With new/reshuffled defensive coaches and overall a really experienced secondary, will we perhaps see an emphasis on a more ball-hawking style of play?
3.) Right side of the line. We've all heard about how dominant Henry Anderson has been, and I generally accept that narrative, but I also have some questions about the right side of the line. Kyle Murphy is very talented and looked good in the spring game, but can he actually be a dominant offensive lineman? Not sure. Caspers, of course, is a much bigger question mark. For the run game to approach what we (and the coaching staff) have grown accustomed to, these guys have to step up.

Doesn't Henry Anderson play defense?

Right, he's asking whether the apparent struggle of that side of the line is due to Anderson being a beast, or a possible issue we'll see during the season.
