Man, what a collection of talent. Thanks for this BC. It's really pleasant to look at this and remember the amazing football we've seen over the last few years.
I take issue with your comment about Hogan in relation to Luck, though. Hogan does what Shaw asks of him about as well as anyone could hope for, but that has not been true of his entire career, as it was for Luck. More than that, though, Luck was the type of QB that could carry the team when nothing else worked. When he took the field, regardless of basically everything, if Stanford needed to score, you could feel confident that he would make something happen. I don't think Hogan would have been able to keep up with Oklahoma State like Luck did, or lead us to that epic 3OT victory over USC. We'll be lucky to have another QB of his caliber again, ever.
