I hope Shaw has those BHAGs.
But it will never happen with the kind of offense we saw too often this season. Stanford needs a significant upgrade on the offensive side of the ball to maintain elite status. (Yes, the D should be excellent again next season; however, I don't think you can expect to win games consistently like Stanford did this year with 250-325 yards of offense/game).Â
385 yards/game should be the minimum (I'd like 400). That's not a great offense, but it's better than what we saw for most of this season. To get there, Stanford needs a little bolder play calling and better execution by the players. When the plays are there, the team must execute (see fourth down pass to Hewitt against Oregon and pass to Cajuste against Oregon State and screen pass to Hewitt against UW and . . . ).
