Of course you could make the very plausible argument that too high a percentage of 4th down conversions is actually a bad thing (because it means you aren't taking several lower-probability but still expected-value-positive shots.). Stanford is actually last in the conference in fourth down attempts; while the offense's slow pace makes it hard to do apples-to-apples comparisons, it certainly suggests Shaw should be going for it more frequently.
