The notion the OL is dealing with injuries as a rationale to explain its lousy performance, is a bridge too far for me. Stanford has a pretty clear track record of being what I would call overly cautious with injured players. It seems highly unlikely anyone would be playing if they were battered and bruised any more than anyone else playing football. IOW, "the OL is banged up" is just an excuse for poor performance, IMO.
