Stanford's unique -- I don't think anyone's got positive WAR over Shaw when you factor everything in, but it doesn't make Shaw immune from accountability or room for improvement. Shaw answers to boosters and Muir though, so we'll see if the team looks better next week. Hopefully we can get Reid and Kelly back at positions Oregon exploited.
I do think it was injuries that wrecked Stanford this weekend (and I'm counting covid in that mix). And as far as whether Shaw can manage the talent he's coaching...he did 90% of everything right. Too bad the last 10% counts as well. (Find a way to score from 1st and goal. Don't kick FGs when down three scores with not much time left in the game. Etc.)
