Let's be honest:  a Stanford defender ripping off an Oregon State player's helmet on fourth down is not a good look.  If Shaw hasn't put his foot down on that by now, there is something wrong.

All that said, I'm nowhere close to throwing out the baby with a few fluid ounces of bathwater.

Shaw commented in his post-game remarks, without equivocating, that the officials made the correct call.

Yeah, that wasn't a wrong call.  Neither was the targetting call.  But there were a few missed calls, including a rather ticky-tack hold call on a third down against us, and a couple of really bad missed holdings by the OSU OL that were even commented on by Flemming/Huard.  Also, I think OSU might have an argument that the second PI on the two-point attempt was pretty ticky-tacky (though it didn't change the outcome).  Overall, not a good job by the officials.
