Since I did it for the Defense, and it was pretty easy to do, figured I'd do it for the Offense to be complete. So here are the offers other schools gave Stanford players on Offense. Though I might say the Defense has a touch more impressive offers to its players, the Offense is no slouch. Again, Stanford has a pretty damn talented roster. If the team registers fewer than 8 wins it's an indictment on the coaching staff, IMO.
If Cal had Stanford's roster, their fans would be thinking they are a Rose Bowl contender this year. I get the schedule is hard, but so what. That's just an excuse for losing if it happens.

Just a note on roster construction and style of play. It wasn't too many years ago that David Shaw sort of crowed about how many Fullbacks he had on his roster, to illustrate Stanford's commitment to a Power running game. Well, look at the roster now. Just two Fullbacks in Heimuli and Symonds, not even a walk-on either. Combined with the increased WR recruiting focus, I think we can see Shaw is moving away from the jumbo sets with multiple big bodies packed tight, to spreading the field with more skill players. Can't help but think this is a product of Bloomgren out and Pritchard in, but I hope it's also influenced by Shaw making decisions based on data.
