Stanford is way to conservative. You can't win games playing like this.

They have been winning games with this approach for years . Field position has played a big part in the play calls but the call on 4th and 3 was awful.

Are they winning the game right now? Their ultra conservative BS play calling is killing them right now.

Did I say they were? I'm just saying that their conservative approach has gotten them into 4 straight BCS games. They are not a pass crazy team.

You said you cant win games playing conservative football. I simply pointed out that Stanford has played this way for years and have been one of the top winning programs in the country. Field position has played a big part of the play calling in this game. Pretty obvious isnt it?

I didnt mind the calls early with the field position but those last 2 play calls were awful. Give Michigan St props though....... they dominated the line of scrimmage today.

MSU played with a lot more heart and fire than Stanford today, and Shaw's play-calling was atrocious on that last drive.
