To all those in the camp saying it's much more the players than coaching: Last week, only one of 68 P4 teams scored fewer than 10 points, UCF (in a heavy rainstorm).
This week, it looks like only Stanford and Colorado (late kickoffs still pending) scored fewer than 10 points.
I just don't believe that player-for-player, Stanford's offensive talent ranks last out of 68 teams. I don't believe that's true of Stanford's offensive line as a unit, either.
It's coaching, and what we've seen so far is dragging the talent down, at least arguably.
But football is about match-ups and gameplans, which change ever week. So we shall see what happens next.
EDIT: Stanford now 111th out of 138 FBS teams in scoring so far this year, 16.7 pts per game. Among P4 teams, Stanford above Syracuse (15.5), Arkansas (13.5), and Colorado (10.5).
Last season, Stanford ranked 117th out of 136 FBS teams, with 18.8 pts per game. Among P4 teams, Stanford above Florida, UCLA, Purdue, North Carolina, Syracuse, Oklahoma State, and Wisconsin.
