Back to the original comment, if there is a real deep threat on this roster, it will have to be one of the newer faces.

That's certainly true, though I don't see that any of the new faces are particularly good candidates, depending exactly on what the plans for Weddington are.

Have never seen JJAW consistently outrun anyone or even get any separation. 

I'd say that JJAW is in that vast grey area that is neither slow nor particularly fast. I primarily like him because he's big and strong and fights for the ball, but he's at least got enough speed that he can take advantage of mistakes by the DB, which will happen from time to time against our run-first offense.

He did run by Oregon's Tyree Robinson on this play, though that was mainly a technique error by Robinson

He ran by cal's Franklin on this one, though again mostly because Franklin tried unsuccessfully to bump him at the line.

On this one, he was way behind the Cal safety. While there isn't a great view of the route, it looks like the safety was looking in to the LOS thinking about run support.

That's the kind of thing where Stanford is going to have to look for big plays in the passing game. Play action where the coverage guys are looking into the LOS, one-on-one coverage situations where our guy is big and strong enough to force a stumble from the defender, etc.
And from another position, Love can be devastating on wheel routes out of the backfield.
