If there was ever a time for a traditional run game to be called, this might be it.  Against a team that relies on and practices against speed, maybe Stanford should just come out in heavy sets and knock them back 4+ yds at a time over and over again.  And if I see a playaction pass out of the power-I formation, I might just be the happiest fan alive.

(I saw a fullback vs. Davis!  A fullback!)

Yes, this was our formula for beating Oregon in the past.  However, I have seen no evidence that we can execute that.  If SDSU and UC Davis can tackle our backs for losses on first down, why shouldn't Oregon be able to?  But yes, we won't beat Oregon without dominating time of possession, which requires positive yards on first down and a high conversion percentage on 3rd down, neither of which we have been able to do so far.  Our offense needs to get a lot better leading up to week 4 than it has been so far.  Perhaps it can.
