Yes, I would say that the offense is good, but a bit fragile.

I think that is correct, except perhaps for the words "a bit". I was going to explore this idea a bit this week, when we were all in a good enough mood to avoid just whining about the most recent game. But, been too busy. We'll see what the mood is next week.


But, I will add a quick stat note. I like per drive stats best - they match the per possession stats in basketball that are far more commonly used. The main place I know to find them is at Fremeau's site: bcftoys.com

Stanford is currently at #26 in offensive points per drive (2.76). I think we were top 10 or even top 5 before the OSU game.
Stanford is currently at #49 in defensive points per drive (1.93). I think we had been down in the 80s earlier.
That adds up to #24 in points per drive differential.
This is not an opponent adjusted stat - so several group of 5 teams are among the top.
