They tried some different things offensively. Moved the pocket a bit. Ran outside more than usual. The penetration by WSU line killed them.

Very disappointing quote from Shaw after the game on KNBR: "For three years in a row, they beat us upfront".  If that's the case, why not plan for it and figure a way to beat it. That's what great OC's do. You're getting gashed upfront, whatever happened to the screen? How about a quick out? How about a flare to Love? On one play, Love was wide open in the middle of the field, with apparently with a blocker. Costello hit JJ or Irwin for a first down. Great, but why didn't they go back to something similar out of the backfield to Love later in the game? Are his hands really that bad?
