Clearly Shaw second-guessed himself and didn't trust his OL to execute against an Oregon goal line defense.  Bad call Shaw, your OL was blocking decently enough to eventually earn Austin Jones 2 TDs and 100+ yds rushing.  This is the strength of your offense this year, and you gotta figure out how to ride it.  

Also, going for a FG down three scores with 10 min left...if Shaw doesn't give an answer, then the obvious unspoken answer is the really disappointing and uncharacteristic answer about motivation...

No, I think the problem was Shaw didn't trust McKee to execute a clean hand off in the congested goal line offense. He should have inserted West at that point, imo. McKee must not have practiced any goal line passes other than the jump ball.
