Shaw did take his foot off, because he started playing the 2's and 3's. It's just that our 2's and 3's are still much better than Rice, even if they're worse than the ones (ONE PUNT!!!!). In the past in games like this the 2's and 3's weren't able to move the ball so well, leading to the "Shaw so conservative" meme. So either Rice is really bad, or we're really deep. Probably a bit of both.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "taking your foot off". What I meant was not just taking your first string out, but getting extremely conservative with the play calling and not throwing the ball. We didn't do that, which I think was fine with most of us, because we wanted to see how Costello looked as a passer.
