When the difference between winning and losing is so thin, "it just happened on two series" is enough to cost Stanford games given the weakness of the defense. The cumulative data tells one story. The distribution of the run/pass ratio tells another.

I can run it 15 times straight and then pass it 15 straight times and the data says the offense is balanced. But that is not a balanced offense. It's doing one thing trying to produce, and then switching to something else trying to produce.

winflop is absolutely correct, not necessarily from a gross data from the games standpoint, but from a how the decisions impacted the competition on the field one.
