Didn't watch the game, and I know stats can be deceiving, but...
Stanford had: 33 first downs, 221 yards rushing, 441 total, 4 turnovers, and still scored 28 points. That suggests something decent in the making. Stanford actually had 45 rushing attempted and a +.3 YPC run differential.
It's borderline amazing a team could be so productive because the stats make clear how little big play makers Stanford has. That suggests a competently coordinated offense that needs more outside speed. Some may say most of the numbers came after Stanford trailed by a lot, but USC didn't want to give up 33 first downs and over 200 yards rushing no matter what the score was.
Put Addison on Stanford and there might have been a different winning team?
