If Mike Bloomgren were to draw the perfect blueprint for his Rice offense, it would have a lot in common with the Stanford offense that crushed the Owls in last year’s season opener.
Bloomgren was the Cardinal’s offensive line coach in that game, and Stanford ran for 287 yards while controlling the clock for 33:38. It was a textbook example of the physical mindset he helped foster at the Farm and hopes to implement on South Main.
