For years, games between Oregon and Stanford were a classic contrast in styles.
Chip Kelly and the Ducks wanted to "spread 'em and shred 'em" out of the read-option. David Shaw and Stanford countered with "intellectual brutality," stacking the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
Kelly and Shaw arrived in the Pac-12 in 2007, each as offensive coordinator at the school where he'd eventually become head coach. In the 11 games since, Oregon has six wins and five losses, including three games in which both teams were in the top 10 – wins for the Ducks in 2010 and 2011, and one for the Cardinal in 2013.
