At first glance, Army's 284 rushing yards seem like a potential concern for Stanford. If they can do that, what might Oregon do, right? But a) Oregon doesn't run the Flexbone, and b) Army still only averaged 4.7 yards per carry. That doesn't suggest amazing defense from Stanford by any means, but it's good enough to pass a funky test at 9 a.m. PT. Stanford's offense managed some big plays, and Army's really did not, though Army's passing downs S&P is a bit disconcerting.
