My main concern is that Whitaker would be shaky past 35-40 yards a la the Alabama kicker.  Missed 40-50 yd FGs could potentially be devastating by giving Oregon great field position.

I imagine that if Williamson is still out and we have a 4th and "manageable" with the option for a 35+ yard field goal, Shaw will think very hard about just going for it. With a yard or yard a half to go, Stewart is a sure thing. On longer plays, Griff is money, while Toilolo, Hewitt, and Terrell are good options too.
