Very odd interpretation. Urban Meyer's basically admitted he's stolen a ton of schematic stuff from Oregon.
The difference between OSU and Oregon is that OSU was running the same stuff...just with much, much better athletes. The problem with your Stanfords and Oregons is that, for whatever reason, when they're elite they tend to get their talent clustered on one side of the ball. Stanford defense + Oregon offense would've been a fair fight against the Buckeyes, of course.
By contrast, your OSUs and (sigh) SCs and Alabamas tend you get brobdingnagian agglomerations of elite talent. It's a structural problem.
