I think it is worth noting that we have generally had more success with 1 running back, 2 tight ends (one of whom is a "receiving tight end" like Parkinson or Smith) than with other personnel groups, including when we have a fullback in the mix.

How sure are you of that?

It's not a statistical breakdown, but this analysis:

You can see that in the three big plays by Stanford against Oregon that Browne breaks down, Stanford passed from a formation one back, two tight ends, and two wideouts.  One of the tight ends (Parkinson) really played as a slot receiver; the other (Smith) also went on a pass route.
