I lost the respect for Shaw

Just kidding.
But after saying in that press conference that VTech was overrated, he goes ahead, and overrates them himself!!

VTech played exactly one top-25 team, twice. Got blown out both times. Heck, Shaw rated VTech ahead of South Carolina, who obliterated Clemson, who blew out VTech twice.

By the way, now you’d better prove that you knew what you were doing when you rated Stanford ahead of Oklahoma State, coach Shaw!

Bizarre, right?

Makes it hard to keep dumping on Virginia Tech. OK, not really.

Lol, I don’t think he deserves a Heisman at all. Look at his games. People like him because he takes these hugely risky plays of throwing way down field, and they work against bad defenses. How about a better team like OK state? He got an interception IN THE END ZONE. This kid is just lucky, he’s not close to Luck.
