Also, I am not convinced we've been effective sealing the edge, which you kind of need to run some of these types of plays.

Perhaps, but the backside edge defender has been consistently crashing down without remorse this year. They need a way to control him -- read-option, reverse, jet sweep, whatever.

Some interesting stats vs Oregon for the second half and OT:

Total yards: 
Stanford 259 plus Alfieri 80 yard return for TD
Oregon 198

Turnovers:
Stanford: 0
Oregon: 3

Yeah, there's been this meme that Oregon dominated Stanford and the Cardinal basically only won because of Duck hijinks. While that perception has some degree of truth, it's way overstated. Computer rating systems typically punish teams that win in (what they "perceive" to be) fortunate circumstances. But the rating systems held Stanford steady after the Oregon win. That's a tell.
