Stanford sucks.. And the only way to shed that label would be to recruit bigger, stronger guys. It's no secret that stout defenses can really hurt Oregon's gameplan by blowing up the LOS. Get better there and Oregon will be better suited to play 60 minutes against a stout defense.
So, how big are our guys on offense?

It goes beyond simply getting big guys. You have to get guys who can play tough and play physical.
Think about the current SEC and why it has the reputation it has.
Bama's 2012 OL mauled people.
Bama's 2011 defense was an all timer because of how physical it was. Same with LSU.
Think about all the physical backs to go through the SEC just recently. Lattimore, Richardson, Lacy, Gurley, Mason, etc.
You can't just get a big OL and shed the label. The big OL has to maul people. The big OL has to line up against big DLs and maul people.
And it goes the same for your defense. You can't just get bigger and suddenly expect to be tough and not soft. Gotta have guys with a mean streak. Guys who can take on the best OL and still push them around.
If Oregon played their style of offense, but with a mauling OL like Bama or LSU have had in recent years, no one would stop them.

Idgaf how big they are, y'all get shite on by physical defensive lines. Stop getting shite on by more physical lines and y'all can be considered physical.
