I have noted this before, but to the extent that the defense couldn’t tackle the Sac State QB because he was so elusive, and also arguably the line getting manhandled, those are on Shaw — his recruits, his technique, and to some extent, his culture.
But to the extent the team loses because offensive players don’t even know who is supposed to be on the field and where to line up — which happens every game, to the extent that coverages get blown and opposing receivers are wide open, to the extent that players over/under pursue and are in the wrong position to make plays, to the extent that Stanford QBs keep throwing terrible high school JV level picks, and to the extent that opponents’ coaching staffs are making much better halftime and game time adjustments than us, that is all on Troy Taylor.
Anyway, TT keeps griping how young and inexperienced the players are, so we will see what he can teach. But he needs to teach faster — Oregon-Washington-Utah could be brutal.

We did it! We hit rock bottom!
