Stanford narrowly escaped Corvallis with a 15-14 win, thanks to a catch by JJ Arcega-Whiteside with only 20 seconds remaining in regulation time. But if Stanford wants to prove to Heisman voters just how valuable Bryce Love is, perhaps the greatest evidence is just how messy this game was without Love.
With Love, Stanford was the 4th-best offense in the nation at 7.5 yards/play. Take away Love, and Stanford could only muster up 3.7 yards/play... against one of the worst defenses in the Pac-12.
With Love, Stanford had eight consecutive games with runs of at least 52 yards.
