After Thursday's win over Arizona State, I spent a fair amount of time "discussing" this issue on Twitter. You know how the argument went -- if Shaw hadn't gone into turtle mode, things wouldn't have been so close in the end. My response was that he had played the percentages and won. I also wondered whether or not this philosophy had ever bitten him. Had he ever been too conservative with a lead and then ended up losing? I honestly didn't know the answer, so last night I spent in inordinate amount of time looking at every loss of Shaw's career. The short answer -- No, he hasn't. For the long answer, click below.

SUPERB Marksmanship on the history -- BEST analysis I have seen, but we WATCH the games. We do not want to WATCH Turtle mode, even if we win, unless the Defense is sacking a QB for a 90 yard Scoop-and-Score at Autzen. That is OK. 
You have to look at the team YOU HAVE. This is the best receiving corp (WRs + TEs) Stanford has EVER laced up, and Costello can throw. 
In 2018, we have 1840 yards passing and 650 yards rushing thru 7 games; our 3.1 per rush is LAST in the Pac12, a complete reversal from 2017.  Coach the TEAM YOU HAVE.
