KJ under Leach becomes a top 20 nfl pick after being on the bench at Stanford under Shaw and Tavita.
The idiocy of assigning that to anything other than coaching (to include scheme) is just that... idiocy.
I’m happy for the guy. He gets a stanford degree, gets to play under a coaching (well, offensive) legend, and is now on the radar as a potential first round pick. All he has to do is run the 4-5 plays in the air raid offense for the rest of this year and he will make a lot of money. MSU has enough around him to protect him.
Yes, Stanford looks bad, but only for now. Leach is a very special coach. Tavita and Shaw are not in any way special offensive coaches. Just ask KJ.
KJ is healthy. He was not during most of his time at Stanford. That makes a difference, too.
In his postgame interview he said "at this time a year ago, I couldn't even throw the football" (after his multiple injuries through the previous season).
"Why has nobody even TRIED the air-raid in the SEC?" Actually, Saban did it with Tua and 4 first-round WRs (and a good RB complement) and they were incredibly successful. Hell, LSU with Joe Burrow passed the ball a TON as well.
