Stanford is not really the problem here.

Thanks to Shaw's run based offense with a strong preference to snap the ball with <03 seconds on the play clock, Stanford games zip along.

The "problem" is really with WSU, UofA and UCB and all three are frequently participants on the Pac-12 Nets.  Each team wants to go go go, but then the WRs drop the ball, players jump out of bounds at any opportunity.  There are loads of 3 and outs that are only taking 30 seconds off the clock, followed by 3 minutes of commercials.  The UCB games routinely come in around 4 hours.  Worse, for the Pac-12 Nets, the games by those three schools are often out of hand by halftime.

FWIW - Recovery during a 15 minute halftime is not really a problem since TV games have ample recovery time during all of the other commercial breaks.
