I am nervous about the future of Stanford football. As a team we are no longer built to be a run first team, which is even more true next year. I think Shaw has shown us that he is too stubborn to play to his personnel. Additionally, Stanford's pound the ball mentality worked well when we had a stout defense. Then it became a matter of controlling the field position battle. 

Our defense is just not good enough to consistently get quick stops. Until we can build a D-line I don't see it happening.
