To your point about the wayward days of running power: that was 100% Jim Harbaugh. I could be wrong, but I don't think we ever ran it after he left. Or, at least we ran it a lot less.

I seem to remember a certain Rose Bowl against Michigan State where we ran the ball, was four straight times, into the middle of the line when we were trying to drive for a winning score. I think our coach, when pressed afterwards about the play calling, replied" "It's what we do". . . .

Of course, my memory is a bit hazy. . . .

No, your memory is fine. And, yes, Shaw hammered home the "2 yard gains become 6 yard gains in the 4th quarter mantra."  I wonder what the mantra is today?  "Slow players need a slow mesh."

We need to start winning the wars in the trenches, and you can draw a straight line between Stanford’s decline and our inability to do so on both offense and defense.

BC

Yup.
