The words used to describe the Stanford Cardinal offense are as traditional and stodgy as the scheme itself: old school, smashmouth, power, physical, tough, grinding. Of course, Stanford is as adept at West Coast passing concepts as any team in the country. But what they are the most well-known for is their running game, because in this era of spread offenses and zone read concepts and chucking it all over the yard, Stanford is a callback to the days of three yards and a cloud of dust. In other words, they are the polar opposite of WSU.
