I think another positive is the energy and passion Shaw showed all game long.  Really demonstrated how much he cares, and it's possible the team fed off that.

One other thing was the crowd noise. I don't know if it's because the Stanford section was near the field mic, but on the broadcast, you could clearly hear "defense" being chanted when ND had the ball on Zaire's last series.  Clear evidence of a Stanford presence. 

Would have been nice to hear the band, but I'm assuming the band is still banned from ND Stadium?

The band is still banned from regular season road games. Post season TBD.
