We could use a few of those components you mentioned above, especially the S&C part.

When we no longer have guys like Shayon and Highsmith playing huge snaps, we will be close to this type of defense.

We don't have the talent to compete with FSU. We have Wake level talent.

Don't recall a team doing so much from that same power formation. Even opens up passes.

It's amazing that they lost to an unranked team, eh?
Utah is tough at home. Could have lost to Oregon State as well. Pac 12 is the best conference in the country.

I couldn't figure out who was a bigger laughingstock, the sad little Ducks or the simpleton suckers who fall for them each and every year.
The only crime was the Stanford kicker Williamson reverting to his Fiesta Bowl form with that incompetent kick, creating a false final score.
But even that had a laugh track attached. Oregon still had time once they reached the Stanford 1 yard line with well over 3 minutes remaining. Their weakling finesse offense went backward the next three plays, blowing a vital minute and change. That was just enough to allow Stanford to run out the clock with no need for a first down.
For all the talk about college players being paid, Oregon owes the country as a football fraud.
Is there really any question which style to emulate? If Miami and USC made a legitimate attempt to fortify and pound a la Stanford, they could make Oregon quit and cry.
The disgust is that the country has been so comfortably ignorant, embracing lazy spread or hybrid styles. Only Stanford and Alabama will pound you without apology. If more top programs still adopted a physical style, there would be no question which style is superior. The Ducks thrive only because the tissue paper approach of the vast majority of teams now allows it.
Major bonus for the Pac 12, considering the inevitable embarrassment of Oregon vs. Alabama. Alabama doesn't back off when a margin is there to be had and expanded.
BTW, I seem to remember there was a thread here asking who would you take, Miami or Stanford at pick-em on a neutral field? There were some posts claiming Miami by 10, saying not to be shy when we have such a terrific team. I posted that Stanford would own the same advantages that Florida did, only considerably smarter and more resourceful. It's still amazing that so many fans in the East know so little about Stanford, considering they've been doing the same thing for years and years. Maybe soon we'll also get rid of the nonsense that Shaw has been hanging on with Harbaugh's players. That is still present in this thread. Meanwhile, Shaw has been winning recruiting battles for blue chip linemen with regularity, taking the recruiting a notch beyond where Harbaugh had it. A game like tonight certainly won't hurt.
He does need a quarterback with more touch and a shorter release than Hogan. That guy is vulnerable if the game unfolds poorly. It's unbelievable that Stanford got away from the run in that brief stretch, including the loss to Utah.

Sorry for the long chirp. That was a nice result for me. If fit my favorite homemade system, the Fury of Anti-Revenge (FAR) angle that I've mentioned several times. If the home team won the most recent meeting on the road, and it was high profile game that the current road team thinks it should have won, the current home team will smack them in the mouth from the outset, as a reminder of the true pecking order. It's a first half system and produces the greatest intensity level and disparity you will ever see. This angle still will be working decades after I'm gone. The beauty of it was I never had to hide it from the oddsmakers in Las Vegas because everybody is fixated on revenge, not anti revenge, so nobody wants to think in reverse and realize the team that won the previous meeting actually owns the psychological edge.
This game tonight was very similar to Boise State hosting Oregon a few years ago, in Chip Kelly's first game. That was the LaGarrette Blunt punch game, and it was also a wonderful FAR.

Pac 12 is easily the most underrated conference in the country. In fact, that's one of the great litmus tests questions I'm aware of: Ask somebody their opinion of Pac 12 football.

Two take sways from this game.
1. I wish Stanford would end up in the NC game vs Alabama. THAT would be a great game.
2. ****.....not only is FSU in position but Mariota just gave Jameis the Heisman. Ugh. Just NOT our year. FSU fans will be unbearable.

Its only because I live on the West Coast for half a decade that I can speak well of the PAC-10/12. They dont have the religious overtones of the southern football programs, but California is deep when it comes to producing athletes in every sport. Whoever owns Los Angeles and San Diego, generally speaking, will rule the West Coast. Great talent from top to bottom....

When I see Stanford I see a team that Al Golden wants us to become.
Big, tough, and very physical.
That Shane Skov may not be the fastest linebacker in college football, but I'd take him over Barr and over our own beloved DP.
He's a bad motherfuucker.
Like Deanthony Thomas had any chance getting that fumble. I'm surprised Skov didn't come up with the ball and Thomas' dismembered arm.
