Garvin, I like Stanford\'s RBs.  But Jones impressed me more than any of our guys.  I suspect that one reason for the tepid enthusiasm so far is that Luck and Loukas have the best running stats.  The yards per carry for the RBs have not been as dynamic or game breaking as we experienced last year:
Taylor - 4.2
Gaffney - 3.8
Amanan - 5.4 (remove a 20 yard run and he has 10 carries for 40 yds)
Wilkerson - 3.9

Wrt Luck, it is a mystery to me why he struggles against some teams and is sharp as Tom Brady vs. others.  Maybe I am wrong that better defenses bring out the Inaccurate Andrew Luck.  But his consistency has to improve for Stanford to make some noise this year.  I\'m still looking for him to lead that critical 4th quarter drive to win the marquee game.  When we needed him down the stretch vs. Arizona last year, he threw 4 straight incompletions.  And we know how Big Game ended.
