Bad decision to punt. Up by 8 you can win the game by getting half a yard that should be a no-brainer

The grand experiment continues! We are getting ever closer to that elusive goal of winning without an offense...

If it weren't for an uncharacteristic Gaffney fumble, this game would've been a lot more comfortable.
Absolutely outstanding defensive showing- our pass rush was incredible, our open field tackling was very good, and our coverage was absolutely unreal. If it weren't for some horseshit PI calls, we would've looked even better.
Our offense is still very uneven, particularly on the road. Gaffney with a very solid game, but Hogan incredibly uneven. We don't need a quarterback who can carry this team, we just need one who can make plays when the play is there to be made, and Hogan has only shown that on occasion.

Wow, I've gotten used to people doubting Shaw's calls when it is not warranted, but doubting a punt on the Stanford 35 with 1:43 to go on a 1 possession game?
Wow.

When a running play doesn't work: "Shaw is too conservative and stubborn."
When a pass play doesn't work: "Shaw is thinking too hard and not sticking with what we do."

It almost seems as though the team's offense abuses its defense.

People keep saying this, but only one of those was in a range where a typical college kicker has a 90%+ chance of making it. Two of them would've been 50-yarders. Granted, the kicker did make one 50-yarder, but an NFL kicker who makes half of 50-yarders is an excellent kicker. Good odds that they would've missed 2 of the 3.
Also, this type of analysis is obviously facile because the game wouldn't have just proceeded the same way had they kicked and made it. Everyone's decision-making changes. So you can't just say "oh they would've had those points." It doesn't work that way.
