That strikes me as an erroneous decision, even if it worked. And the highlight actually bolstered that opinion (incredible throw under duress by McKee and great catch by the WR). I don’t know what the rationale was for going for it there – I’ll only say that I hope Shaw wasn’t motivated by outside pressures to “be bold” on offense or what have you. Still need to make the sound decisions. That one worked out for Stanford, but did any of you think that was the “correct” call real time? [Maybe there was something in flow of game that would support that call, so . . .].
not only did he go for it but he took points off the board to go for it as SC lined up in the neutral zone on the made FG....
