What's that fellow doing with the ball in such an odd position?

That's not that new-fangled thing called a pass [?] is it?

:lol:
 
Look at the article in the Missoulian this morning on Stanford. Great defense, struggling power offense playing in the fast paced Pac 12. Even with their great defense, they aren’t able to score enough points to win. Last week they scrapped their power offense and went to a zone-read, spread style offense and put up 38 on Oregon State. Hard to forget Jordy running the Plugrad zone-read offense during our playoff run in 11 and running wild on Northern Iowa and damn near pulling off the win at high powered Sam Houston to go to the NC game. Jordy is out of his element trying to sit in the pocket running this so called Pro-style offense. Scrap the damn thing and let him play to his strengths.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but according to the NCAA, JJ's playoff performance in 2011 never happened.....it only exists in the mind of the imaginator [emoji6]

I have it on good authority that JJ still sleeps with Pflu's playbook under his pillow.

You realize that Stanford has hit Oregon in the mouth repeatedly the last two years, scoring 26 and 17 points to beat them. Oregon is consistently in the top 5 in scoring offense, and Stanford beat them with defense and a power offense. Maybe this year's problem is talent losing their defensive coordinator to Vanderbilt.

I'm sure that's all true, but it still has nothing to do with his point:

Regardless of all that, Stanford hasn't been effective doing that anymore, so instead of forcing something that doesn't work, they're finding things that actually do instead of making excuses.

Wait a minute, you means good coaches don't keep banging their heads against the same rock until it works? Do you have to coach at Standford to be able to break that mold?

They've been effective in that they're still winning football games. Look at this year's Pac12.. there's a lot of really damn good teams in that league. Washington State, as bad as they are, beat the top team in the South, Utah. Every single team is dangerous. Stanford
still ran the ball 35 times and passed 30, with Hogan the QB only running 4 times. I wouldn't say they changed their offense too dramatically. Plus the defense did what they always do.. held one of the top passers in the Pac12, Mannion, to very few yards passing. Expanding the playbook is always a good thing.
