Stanford thought they were gonna outphysical and run the ball down their throat and stick to their identity, but the only problem was they were going against one of the best defenses in the country so it didn't work out......Shaw refused to adjust and it cost him....Stanford deserved to lose the game as it was kind of shocking they didn't have more faith in Hogan especially since he was 10-0 against ranked teams (that doesn't happen by accident)....As far as the Michigan State coach he has proven to be a really great coach as very early in the year they didn't even have an offense that resembled a Division I football team, but they improved a lot as the year went on so props to him...
As far as Shaw (yeah he was extremely stubborn today), but overall he has done a good job....For starters, he has beaten Oregon two years in a row....The first year people said Harbaugh left so Stanford will take a drop, but they didn't....Then they said it was cause of Andrew Luck was still there....So next year they were like no Luck and no Harbaugh so Stanford definitely gonna take a step down, but it didn't happen........Sure Shaw messed up today, but overall he has done a good job there maintaining the program after Luck and Harbaugh left especially since people expected a drop after those two left.
