TD!

Yes, we all sort of hate to waste that pass call from the Ogre on Colorado, but at the same time I greatly appreciate Shaw's willingness to try to step on the neck of an opponent (so to speak, of course).

It's not a waste.  It puts the fake on film, so other teams won't want to over-commit the way Colorado has.  Plus, the reason to run the fake is not because we surprise the other team, but because the other team's overcommitment leaves our players wide open.  I think Shaw would run it against anyone if they all dedicate 11 players to stopping the run.
