STANFORD, Calif. -- Imagine what it's like for Stanford head coach David Shaw to walk the sideline on an autumn Saturday, a 6-foot, 201-pound Swiss army knife in his hip pocket.
Check that -- this is Nerd Nation. Let's attach the Swiss army knife to his belt loop.
How should a coach best deploy sophomore tailback Christian McCaffrey? McCaffrey leads the FBS in all-purpose yardage, averaging 241.6 yards per game. He can run. He can catch. He can block. He can return punts and kickoffs. He threw a touchdown pass last Saturday against Colorado.
