Stanford seems to be coaching them down. The best players stay only 3 seasons these days, yet Stanford has a playbook that takes 2 years to master. That's just dumb and squanders talent. Tua won the national championship as a true freshman. Stanford would have had him in the library all year studying the playbook, with one or two 'package' plays they'd let him run every other game. Tavita is a great guy, but obviously not ready to be OC at this level. Defense isn't looking much better. At least Jet got his leg back, but play calling forced him out there too much. And those announcers today -- jeez almighty -- sorry Rod, but it was like listening to a Thanksgiving Day parade or national dog show or something. At one point in the first half they were going on and on with their history lessons and not even paying attention to the game -- they didn't notice CO's first long TD until the guy was nearly in the endzone. AAAHHHHhhhhhhrrrrgggg.... Now get off my lawn you kids, I've got some serious ranting to do....
1. Buddy Teevens thought his offense was great, too, and that it was only an "execution" problem. Delusional. Shaw is right there with him now.
2. If anyone, at any time, thought the knock on Shaw was racially based, then they're idiots (and I don't care where they went to school and/or if they played at Stanford). This isn't a deep south fan base circa 1970. Please. In truth, the better question for those defending Shaw as an offensive play caller (let alone calling him a "great" coach) is this: is it racial?
