I do recall in 2019 IIRC, a game against WSU where Stanford completely bungled an end of game drive, but I don't know if the fact it did actually was the reason for the loss, or if perfect clock management would have rescued victory from the jaws of defeat in that game.
Poor clock management will never be the only reason for a loss, but it can be a major contributing factor.
I think the game you're referring to was at home against Washington in 2019 when Shaw substituted on Stanford's final drive. That gave Washington the ability to substitute as well, which they did as slowly as they were permitted to do and burned a full 30 seconds off the clock. Who knows whether Stanford would have scored on that drive (and won instead of lost), but the likelihood of doing so was greatly diminished by the loss of those 30 precious seconds.
