Thank you for checking out the show! I'd suggest giving it another listen, though. When you come to that segment again, pay closer attention to my initial reaction to his quote, my actual interpretation of what he meant (which you inaccurately represent), and the soundbite from Shaw later in the presser that perhaps seemed to explain his perspective a bit better. Appreciate you listening!

Troy I re-listened to this segment and your initial reaction was muted but directionally correct. However, I'm not buying your subsequent interpretation or explanation. I don't care how good U$C's offense is. When your defense gives up 5 TDs on 5 possessions and gives up 350+ yards in a HALF, that's TERRIBLE DEFENSE. How many times did the Toejams even face a third down in that half?

Yes, they played better in the second half but the game was over at halftime. I hope they play like that half this Saturday.

As for Shaw's further comment about switching to 3 edge rushers in the second half, why didn't anyone ask him why that switch wasn't made sooner? I think it's long past time for the media who cover Stanford football to start asking Shaw more pointed questions about his decision-making. I'm sure he's going to bristle at them but the reality is that his teams have largely stunk since 2019. It's about time the media started holding him just a little more accountable for that. You guys are the only ones whose questions he answers, and his AD doesn't have the spine to do it either.
