37-8 at Stanford is pretty damn good no matter what he was left with. Yeah he has definitely continued what Harbaugh built in terms of good O linemen and front 7 guys but his offenses are downright Flinstonian and he's supposed to be this offensive guru
Aside from a pick 6 that's literally the worst thing that can happen in that situation. Get screwed out of at least 3 points and have to kick off backed up 15 yards to open the 2nd half.
