I've been hearing the meme that it was foolish of Shaw to have him in late, but that seems incorrect to me. While it was a two-score game, SC was pretty darn close to making it competitive. Getting just one more first down would've quashed any chance of a comeback, and Love didn't have an inordinate workload to that point. I think it was perfectly justifiable to leave Love in.

The ESPN probability meter was at 99.7% at the time of the play (although take their model with a grain of salt).  At that point, the chance of an injury on any given play was higher than the chance of losing the game.
