OC Tavita Pritchard breaks down Stanford football's offense this spring

By David Kiefer, gostanford.com: There were times during the 2020 football season when the Stanford offense seemed in complete control – sustaining long drives to protect a lead, building a rally with a timely pass or run, mixing spectacular downfield plays with move-the-sticks short gains.

Over the final four games – all victories – in a 4-2 season, Stanford’s offense returned to a balance that harkened to its most productive seasons. By the end, the Cardinal was on pace to have a 1,000-yard rusher (Austin Jones, 559 yards), 1,000-yard receiver (Simi Fehoko, 574 yards), and 3,000-yard passer (Davis Mills, 1,508 yards) projected over a 12-game schedule. Stanford reached the 1,000-1,000-3,000 plateau only once before, in 1978.

Finding the Right Balance

Though seven Cardinal offensive players moved on to the NFL, Stanford strives to build on the balanced attack it established last season.
