Yes, it's extremely lazy to look at a bad season and scream "Oh, it's the coach! It must be the exact reason he lost the last major game." No team has a year like this and can blame a single factor. Here are the multiple causes:
1. Not recruiting to the strength of previous seasons (i.e. line, fullback and running back).
2. Injuries, injuries, injuries, especially on the line.
3. Abysmal defense.
4. Coaching decisions.
No team loses by the scores from UCLA, USC and Oregon merely because of scheme.
Yvonne, Shaw has blown so many games with piss poor game management, it's mind-boggling. He does not 'get' the most basic aspects of how to run an offense, yet he insists on calling the plays and running the offense.
How many times has Stanford ever schemed a player open on a pass play in the Shaw Era? You just never see it. Again, mind-boggling.
Every damned time we threw the box out pass to JJ Arcega-Whiteside for a touchdown. “Scheme” is matching the play call to take advantage of a mismatch, and with that play, we matched up JJ’s height and strength so that he could be open even when there was a defender next to him.

Great point. In Shaw's post game presser, he said he'd take the matchup of the best TE in the country against the best LB in the country all day long. Methinks one would try to isolate the best TE in the country against anyone but the best LB in the country.
Too reminiscent of running four straight plays between the tackles.
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.
