Which team was Jimmy talking about having most trouble preparing for?

Topic

He’s said he wants to have a offense like the one(s) that he had the most trouble defending.

Sample size is only one, but based on the Beavs game formation/identity wise it looked like Stanford End of Harbaugh/beginning of Shaw era.

My heart says that he has to know that Saturday night’s results and in general are not going to work long term (don’t tell me about Wisconsin, unless KB or whoever starts recruting RB’s 2/3 levels above what we doing know, and Scott Huff’s base or minimum becomes 5 Sophomore Tre’s/Junior Kaleb production and recruiting/development wise).

But the more I listen to him and see things like Monday’s run the damn ball hat and giving the game ball to Joe Don (which I hope was more ceremonial than anything) and the hire in general who was part of the Jaguars give Fornette the ball 30 times a game philosophy, the more my brain goes to bad places about this.

Weather looks good for Saturday, so I expect another 10 pass plays and more 50/50 split run and pass.

I think it’s clear that Stanford is the model. My post never showed before the game but when Chest asked what we were hoping to see I replied that I hope NOT to see UW trying to be Andrew Luck Stanford because they’ll end up like Josh Nunes Stanford. Based on our one game sample, my fears were realized.

So if we had an ongoing series with the academies and had a hard time defending, would Jimmy have been looking to emulate the triple option?

Gotta utilize those big bodies down the field like Stanford always does versus us or teams are gonna stack 8 in the box and stuff us.
