It's really interesting reading the media's take on what Stanford's strengths are heading into this season. It wasn't that long ago when our QB and OL/DL were the most solidified units on the field, according to the analysts, whereas our skill positions and secondary units were seen as the overwhelming weaknesses. My oh my how the tables have (seemingly) turned in just a handful of years.

I think the idea is more that, relative to other (recent) Stanford teams, this year's version is strong among the small guys and unknown among the big guys (and QB, but this year those guys are pretty big). Whether that really comprises the team's strengths and weaknesses versus other top 25 teams remains to be seen - and my guess is probably not.
