BrewHawk, thanks for the summary.  I agree that Iowa and Stanford both typically rely on having solid players who fulfill their responsibilities on both sides of the ball.  This year, Stanford has played a slightly different brand of football, which relies a bit more on having elite athletes make plays.  McCaffrey is the prime example, but not the only one.  On the other hand, this Stanford team seems to have more gaps than most prior versions of the team due in part to early departures and lack of numbers in recruiting.  The roster is well short of the NCAA max scholarship players.  There isn't a scholarship FB on the roster, nor is there a true NT on the roster, and both starting safeties are converted offensive players.  Are there any similar gaps on the Iowa roster, or do you feel that the Iowa team has at least one really solid player at every position?
