I agree that losing Sarao is bigger than losing Carlisle.  The idea of pairing him with Vaughters for the next four years... And of the two, Vaughters was the one that looked uncertain.  Hopefully he sticks.

Maybe Sarao is afraid we\'ll switch back to the 4-3?  Or maybe he isn\'t sure he can beat out Vaughters, and he certainly can\'t beat out Skov?

USC runs a 4-3, it had nothing to do with it. It was known for almost 2 weeks that if Stanford lost their DC, Sarao was gone to USC. Stanford still has a solid class. As for Vaughters, watch out for Ohio State and Florida. Ohio State would be the team to beat.
