I'm the first one to lambast Shaw for conservative playcalling.  You have to practice your plays in game situations.  But the results over the last few years are tepidly supportive of Shaw's strategy...last year was a clear argument against it though.

Pulling the starters can be good for any number of reasons.  Not opposed.

Shaw can hold back for Oregon as well.  We desperately need to beat Oregon to win the north.  We've had too many issues with Oregon to not keep them in the long-range target reticle from week 1.

I think the McCaffrey-into-a-wall plays put too much wear and tear on him, tbh.  Not a fan.
