These two recruiting classes--last year's and this one--are going to spike the talent level here,
These will be much more explosive and dangerous teams, able to attack an entire field
vertically and horizontally.
It will have more touchdown makers--guys who can score with with a couple good blocks, in a blink.
It will play true top down defense, with defensive backs that can force the action back into the box,
and give the coordinators a brobdingnagian range of options--
and give offenses a confusing array of looks.
It will have defenders that can minimize explosive plays against us,
and force offenses to slowly work their way downfield,
and find what seems like 13 defenders when they get to the red zones.
It won't have elite, top two SEC team defensive lines,
but should have lines that are more than good enough,
given the eight men behind them.
This should, very soon, put Stanford into the randomness game.
It will have the talent to play for national championships,
but will lack what every team lacks:
the ability to overcome sheer randomness.
