The impressive offensive output for Stanford can be largely attributed to the performance of Kevin Hogan and Christian McCaffrey, a perfect combination that could carry the Cardinal to victories all season long.
The Stanford offense has played 12 quarters so far this season. They looked less than impressive for the first 6 quarters. The next six quarters, however the Cardinal offense has looked very impressive. The difference is practically night and day. Two big reasons for this turnaround have been Kevin Hogan and Christian McCaffrey.
Hogan and McCaffrey, like most of the offense did not look impressive on the road against Northwestern, but both have improved significantly since then.
