I've seen Ca.l run and seen Stanford run this year.  Cal is better this year.  It's a combination of the OL and their RBs being more physical.  Daniel Lasco, who was injured most of 2013, has been transformed by their coaching staff from a guy who ran with finesse under Tedford to one that runs with physicality now.  And it does help to not have to run against 7 and 8 man fronts all the time for sure, but Tony Franklin is a big believer in running the ball.  In fact, they inserted the undersized Frosh QB from Arizona in to their offense to hedge their bets they could present some credible run threat this year. 

Good point on Bloomgren.  For the record, I don't want him out as the OL coach, just as OC.  The strongest case to be made is both his areas of responsibility have weakened since he was made the OC in addition to OL coach.  It's just that in order to bring in a new OC, there has to be some staff shuffling.  Maybe Pritchard is the one it makes most sense to move out, so Bloomgren can focus on the OL and a new OC can be brought in as well, and then Lance Taylor can take on RBs and WRs.  That's always been a pretty common position coach.

So:  Bloomgren to OL coach only, Taylor gets WRs and RBs, New OC and QB coach, Morgan Turner is the only one that stays the same, and Pritchard is out, or maybe Pritchard gets RBs and WRs and Taylor is out.  Either way, it seems either Taylor or Pritchard would be the odd man out.

After this "discussion" it seems this might be the best way to shake up the offensive coaching staff.  Now, who is the new OC and QB coach?
