It's truly creepy how the Niners and Stanford's injuries mirror each other.
Filkins is Stanford's best RB. He's the only one of the RBs who has the twitchiness needed to make defenders miss, and enough speed to create big plays in space. He needs more carries. Jones and Peat are not making anyone miss in the open field. Peat can outrun a defense to the End Zone. Jones can't.
UCLA's weakness is its pass defense, so perhaps the RB injuries and McKee's passing brilliance will lead to a game plan that will exploit it.
