Stat Of The Week: Stanford

So we renew our weekly feature, Stat of the Week, starting with of course Stanford.  The stat we think is useful to key in on this game is actually the stats of last year's game.  And they are the horrible offensive stats we put up at home against the absolute dead last worst defense in the country last year:

• 17 points scored by our offense against the dead last worst defense in the country that gave up 39 points a game
• 0 points scored by our offense at halftime, and only 7 points in 3 quarters, against the worst defense in the country
• 390 yards total offense against a defense offering up 470 yards a game
• 175 yards rushing against a defense offering up 300+ yards a game
• 5 turnovers, 7 sacks, and 7 punts for Stanford, and only 17 points scored by our offense

This type of pathetic offense will simply not cut it this year.  It was not long after that Stanford win that we started our incredibly ugly 4 game losing streak last year.  If we dont come out firing in this game, against this horrible team, then it could foreshadow troubles when we hit the meat of our schedule in October.
