Whatever you feel about long term direction of program, play calling and turtle games , you pretty well have to admit that Shaw has done “coach of the year” type job this year. Talking about leading rough adversity! Further, this team is highly motivated and Seems to have bought in to Shaw approach .
Chasing “Wha ifs” is usually a fools errand but I do find myself wondering “what if” some idiot didn’t botch the Covid Test and Mills ,Weddington played against Oregon. I’m not saying it would have been a win bu I do think we would have beaten Colorado the next week. 4-1, 5-0 and we would be worried about losing our coach to Alabama .
Seriously, don’t you think it’s time to acknowledge a superb coaching job?
didn't shaw also start with conservative play calling last year then open it up as the season wore on? seems like one of his traits. also, i believe someone posted that the first dozen plays - or is it 20?) - are scripted by tavita. if so, he did a good job.
mills would have looked even better with wilson and wedington playing.
which reminds me - were those announcers osu locals? they stressed that osu played without 2 receivers but didn't mention that stanford was in the same boat. they went on and on about the osu qb and said little about mills. they went on and on about the osu running back and said little about austin jones. they raved about the osu kicker and an osu linebacker.
