Along with teejers' post, I'm worried about the boom-bust nature of relying on Bryce Love for points.  Teams will figure out Stanford's blocking schemes, and as with U$C and SDSU, sometimes Love isn't enough.  Opponents like UW and perhaps even Notre Shame have the personnel to match up with our OL, and once they commit numbers to the box (or point of attack), it's just not going to be enough.  I like the correlation between first downs and points...give me a consistent offense that chews up yards and time over a lightning strike offense that doesn't afford your defense any rest.

But a win is a win...and if this is the only way Stanford can win right now, I guess that's how they have to play.
