Stanford’s jumbo formation means thousands of pounds of humanity right on the line of scrimmage

In this era of spread offenses, Stanford loves to go anti-spread. Earlier in the year, the Cardinal went with eight linemen in a formation, and they’re powering their way toward a Pac-12 North title. On a third-and-short against Cal, they went super anti-spread.

Unsurprisingly, Stanford converted on that play, because Stanford will always out-power you.
