Stanford set a school record for sacks last year, with 57. As others have noted, the sacks were spread out -- 15 players recorded sacks, 12 of whom return. There were 5 players with 5 or more sacks, 4 of whom return (Murphy, Gardner, Henry Anderson, Mauro). I think each of them has a chance to get 10 sacks. In addition, whoever wins Chase Thomas' position could put up good sack numbers (Vaughters or Lueders). And keep an eye on Kevin Anderson. He may find it hard to get on the field enough to put up big numbers this year, but after Murphy is gone, Kevin Anderson could emerge as a sack specialist.
