Funny how much more grown and mature Shaw seems after having won 10 games.  I'm not sure what Shaw has done differently since Northwestern other than win.

Eh, I think OF (while overstating his case a bit, as is typical) is making some good points. Shaw seems way more likely to go for it on 4th and short and this year, which could be mostly tactical (defense isn't as good, Wright is a monster at short yardage), but it's still a change. It's a hard counterfactual to run but I think he's onto something about the WSU game being a sure loss in previous years, to take the gameplan and completely throw it out the window like that, I don't think we've seen it before.

Small things, but Shaw was already a really good coach, there are only relatively small things to fix.
