Sorry,
The Stanford team is not playing for Luck to win a Voldemort. This Stanford team is playing to win a Pac-12 title or even a BCS title. And Voldemort history over the last 10 years would suggest that going for wins is the best way to get the Voldemort. Letting Luck run around for 80+ yards and pass for 450 yards per game is possible, but it probably would not help the team in 2011. And it would clearly be terrible for the team in 2012 and beyond.
Luck's greatest attribute is that he seems to believe in the system. After all, he called a lot of those conservative plays himself.
BTW - It is probably best for Luck's physical health for him to play in this system, and given his NFL future that alone might be reason to embrace our system. It might be worth questioning...Would Luck have stayed another year if he was in a system that asked the QB to absorb a lot of hits?
