And I’m calling BS on your BS.  57 percent pass rate (and rising) does not lie. The offense has changed markedly. 

Run/pass by game

• SDSU 28/31
  
• U$C 28/27
  
• UCD 33/33
  
• UO 24/26. I don't have the first/second half splits but given we were down 24-7 I'd reckon the second half was more pass than run, and that was the part that worked
  
• UFDG 24/27. Again, likely more pass heavy in the second half when we fell behind
  
• Utah 27/41. Same story as the last two games. First half 50/50, passed when behind
  
• ASU 43/29 + turtling
  
• WSU 23/43
  
• UW 23/43. Again, pass heavy when playing from behind. Run heavy in first half didn't work
  
• OSU 30/37
  
• UCLA 27/37
  

CTCard did the math earlier in this thread and showed the first half stats.  In the first half of each of the games starting with Oregon we passed more than we ran.

opponent     run    pass   %pass
UO              14       16       53
und             13       19       59
Utah            14       25       64
ASU            19       24       56
WSU           12       28       70
UW               7       26       79

It’s Simply not true that Shaw was trying to be stubborn and run heavily in the first half and only passed in the second half when we were behind.  I mean, maybe you think we should have passed more than what we did, but for Shaw to have his quarterback drop back to pass three fifths of the snaps is nothing short of remarkable, and displays a flexibility that belies your narrative.
