Shaw averaged 5.0 YPC despite battling injuries and running behind an inexperienced, poor o-line. Combine this with the fact that he was a mid level 4 star and runs a sub 4.4 40, and you cannot possibly saw Shaw is shitty. Shaw may have gotten alot of his yards off 3 runs, as Poole1Dan says, but then again, the same can be said about Carlos Brown in 2007, so is Brown shitty as well? of course not! Shaw is a beast. He'll probably be the starting tailback in 2010 and 2011.

Go Blue!

Wow, just under 50% of the posts on this video are DoofisDans bullshit....seroiusly, give it up already bandwagon fan!

@TheLILFREE23 I'm hating on him because he's a 4 star speedy TB who has played like a worthless walkon almost his entire damn career. He's been one of the most bitterly dissapointing tailbacks Michigan has had since probably David Underwood (Kevin Grady doesn't count cause Grady busted up his ACL and missed an entire season; when he returned he clearly wasn't the same). Shaw has NO vision, falls down when he's even poked, and isn't particularly quick. He's a track star, not a tailback

@Poole1Dan why are you hating on him did he not sign a autograph for you or some thing

[Poole1Dan]

@TheLILFREE23 No, but even if you assume that Shaw's TD run makes up for his badly distorted YPC, he still didn't have as good of a day statistically as Robinson, and probably not Stonum either (neither of those guys had one long run that distorted their yards per carry or yards per catch).

Besides, you're talking one game. Look at shaw's 3 year career: he has yet to establish himself a starter and has been extremely poor when given carries.

@Poole1Dan did they score

[Poole1Dan]

@TheLILFREE23 I'll give you two: Denard Robinson, who had 105 yards rushing on 5.8 YPC (his miserable passing day notwithstanding), and Darryl Stonum, who's been a complete bust otherwise but who's 7 catches for 81 yards in the OSU game top Shaw's 8 carries for 52 yards (most of it on one 39 yard run; he had 7 carries fpr only 13 yards otherwise).

@Poole1Dan can you do me a favor and name a player that did better than him in the ohio state game

[Poole1Dan]

@TheLILFREE23 But the reason Shaw had much less carries than Vincent Smith is because, once again, Shaw couldn't stay healthy (not to mention Smith was generally more reliable). Furthermore, 3 of his 9 TD runs came against Umass, a 1-AA team, and Shaw was still terrible against the cream of the crop. Shaw is a middling 3rd string quality TB at best, and I have not changed my mind about him. He's got talent, no doubt, but his vision is as bad as it was when he was a True Freshman.

[TheLILFREE23]

@Poole1Dan smh i hope you changed your mind if not the fact that he had the second most touchdown on the hole team behind denard an much less caries than vince.
