Stanford has bested two solid opponents by double digits, so what can we take from these victories?
- While Ryan Burns has stepped up and looked really good in two weeks against two teams with talented defensive lines, David Shaw has done a terrific job not asking to much of his first time starting quarterback. The offense is designed to get the big play makers, Christian McCaffrey and Michael Rector, out in space and make getting them the ball easy. The rest of the offense has to make just enough plays to keep the defense honest but Shaw has let Burns rely heavily on his studs and isn't concerned about getting too creative in the name of spreading the ball around.
