There’s no official line on three Pac-10 games involving lower-division teams — Stanford-Sacramento State; Cal-UC-Davis; and Arizona State-Portland State. And no reason there should be as none of these should be competitive. Here are my predictions: Stanford 49, Sac State 10; Cal 52, UC-Davis 13; Arizona State 38, PSU 7.
The Sac State game is somewhat intriguing for UW fans to watch to see what former Husky Curtis Shaw can do there as a running back.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Andrew Luck stood up for his running backs. He also stood up and found his wide receivers — a lot.


Luck threw a career-high four touchdown passes in helping Stanford win its first game without Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart, beating Sacramento State 52-17 Saturday in the season opener for both teams.


Jeremy Stewart, Tyler Gaffney and Anthony Wilkerson each scored a touchdown for the Cardinal. They were among several running backs used by Stanford, which gained 213 yards, 82 in the first half, on the ground.


"The running backs played a heck of a game," Luck said. "We have been through a spring, a summer and a training camp with them, and as much as we love Toby, these are the guys now."

Reading this makes me thing that the coaches held him out in hopes that he could get a medical RS and be the feature back next season.
 
Injury-plagued Shaw looks to make big return
y The State Hornet | 0 comments


Elusive, breakaway speed, great vision. These are some of the things you would hear from scouts in 2007 when describing the skill-set of Sacramento State senior running back Curtis Shaw when he was in high school.

Today, you might hear those same scouts murmur something like fragile, busted, or injury prone.

There is no doubt about it. Shaw has had a “string of bad luck” as the running backs coach Aaron Ingram would say.

With the concussion in 2010 knocking him out of nine games and the knee injury this season, which caused him to miss five games so far, Shaw has had little time to show what he can do.
Shaw graduated in 2007 from Lincoln High School in Stockton. During his junior year, Shaw rushed for 1,653 yards and 21 touchdowns. Senior year, Shaw duplicated those numbers and ran for 1,633 yards and 24 touchdowns. He ran for 200 yards in three games his senior year and destroyed Golden Valley High School in the first round of playoffs by rushing for 245 yards and five touchdowns.
Coming out of high school, Shaw was rated the No. 39 running back recruit in the country by scout.com and the No. 4 running back recruit in California by rivals.com.Shaw received interest from many big-name colleges such as the University of Oregon, UC Berkeley and Fresno State University, but he had no interest in them. On Dec. 10, 2006, Shaw committed to join the University of Washington Huskies.



In 2007, Shaw debuted with the Huskies as a running back. He was one of seven true freshmen who logged playing time during the season. He totaled only seven carries for 12 yards on the season and was switched to wide receiver toward the end of the season when he caught five balls for 47 yards. Shaw also spent some time on special teams as a kick returner.

The following year was tough for Shaw. He redshirted after leaving the Huskies during fall camp for family reasons. He kept in touch with coaches throughout his leave and returned back to the Huskies in spring 2009 as a running back once again.

In 10 games, Shaw was only able to run the ball eight times for 32 yards as a backup-running back. He also stayed involved with the return game, but was ineffective for the most part in the immediate offense.

After a rough three-year stretch between the Huskies and family problems, Shaw decided he needed a change.

“Washington wasn’t a fit program for me. It didn’t work out how the coaching staff planned it and how I planned it,” Shaw said. “We didn’t meet each other’s needs, it was time to move on.”

In 2010, Shaw transferred to Sac State to become a Hornet. The team was excited to add him to the group.

“Anytime you can get a kid who played in the Pac-10, it helps,” Ingram said. “Curtis has the ability to have some breakaway speed at any given time.”

Shaw entered the 2010 season as the lead running back for the Hornets. In the first game against Stanford, Shaw carried the ball 12 times for 30 yards and had one touchdown.

In the next game against Western Oregon, Shaw went down in the second quarter with a concussion knocking him out for the rest of the season.

“I actually don’t remember getting hit. I never watched the tape of it either,” Shaw said. “It was hard to be on the sideline watching and not being able to contribute the rest of the season. Watching everyone else have fun, working hard and playing is tough.”

In the game and a half that he played, Shaw rushed 17 times for 54 yards with one touchdown and caught three passes for 59 yards.

Technically, Shaw only has two seasons of football under his belt since the concussion caused him to redshirt the year. This means he would possibly have two more years to play, 2011 guaranteed and possibly 2012 with an approved medical redshirt.

Since the concussion, Shaw has worked hard to recover and get back.

“It’s been a long process. Every day you wake up with headaches,” Shaw said. “I wasn’t able to go to class or do anything for three weeks. It was a hard process to catch up with school and try and get back in shape.”

Shaw worked hard through it all and had himself 100 percent ready for the 2011 season, but was knocked right back down, this time with a knee injury in the Oregon State game.

“It was a freak accident. I got gang tackled and they fell on my knee,” Shaw said. “I got up and knew something was wrong. Something was holding me back from being myself.”

Shaw was later diagnosed with a posterior cruciate ligament sprain to the ligaments, which caused inflammation to the meniscus. He had surgery on the PCL and had the inflammation cleaned out and has worked hard once again to rebound from the injury.

Shaw works out with the team doing upper body workouts and he rehabs with Brandon Padilla, the director of athletic training.

“We’ve had to work on his strength and range of motion, basic things people take for granted,” Padilla said. “Walking, knee bends and squats. We’ve slowly helped him progress and get back to the point where he is going to be able to run and cut.”

Shaw is excited to get back out on the field and help the Hornets make some noise the rest of the season.

“We have talent this year and were capable of taking this all the way,” Shaw said. “We have to work hard and take it day by day. We can make things happen.”

Shaw will be back in 2012, make some noise the rest of the 2011 year because he will blast in 2012 season.

Sounds that way to me as well. He could have been used during the EWU week and the rest of the season but was held out.
 
SDHornet, On what bases do you make this reply or statment. Why do you think Shaw was held out during the week of EWU and also the rest of the 2011 season?

Sometimes the report looks good, however the player does not respond are sometimes player wants to get back to the team and play but if he does not get clear from the doctors and or for Insurance reson the player can not come back.

School needs that player to be ready to Apply Quality Health when he comes back and not let some parent trying to sue because the young man was not able to come back at that time. That is how Insurance is Today.

So why not Get Started Now and Compare options and find out what Sac can do to win not only big games but all of their games...

The right plan I think is to get a good kicker! Other RB that can be a member of Sac football that are not yet going to other schools. Players that want to be a member of Sac football, and login here to finish all 4 years of their football at Sac. I think this is the application we need. Not be wondering if Shaw, could or could not have played in the past.

If he is going be hear next season then he better get is backside and his frontside up to display the best football for Sac, and then and only then can Sac over come this lack of winning and get to the playoffs ASAP.

I want to see Sac win with or with out Shaw, but I think this kid can be big for us if Sac can keep him on the field for the full season.

Shaw must be capable of working-out and working-out day and night to get his body at the top of his game, and then more. If he is not going to do this then we must move on without him.

I came to that assumption based on this statement from the State Hornet article linked by Kadeezy:
“Doctors cleared Shaw Oct. 4 to begin running and he is looking at a possible Oct. 22 home game return against Eastern Washington University.”

To me it reads he was on track to be healthy enough to return last season (and if you back track this thread you’d understand why I thought that based on interview comments from Sperbeck). If he was ready, the coaches very well could have kept him out so he could return for 2012 via a medical redshirt. It makes no difference now, what’s done is done.
 
Thank you SDHornet, goodday to you: for your reply and assumption based on this statement from the State Hornet article linked by Kadeezy.

I wanted to reply to you but before I did I wanted to be on point with my facts. So I went to find out some official details and facts on Shaw's medical report of his diagnosed with a posterior cruciate ligament sprain to the ligaments, which caused inflammation to the meniscus.

After reading some of these links,(http://sacstatesports.com/2011/09/07/hornets-rb-shaw-ruled-out-for-saturday/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; tp://wwwhttp:msn.foxsports2012.com/collegefootball//-shaw" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://espn.go.com/blog/stanford-football/game/_/id/4444/regular-season-report-card-wide-receivers-outgamegameId%3D201109030061" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - http://hornets.bigskyfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1494" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and what I seen at the Eastern Washington University (EWU) game.

It's amazing to think Yes, or to say I agree... with you but I do not, though I understand why you think this way. With your limted facts I can see why you may have that assumption.

This is why I disagree with you base on the real facts.
The timeline for Shaw's retern was setup by the doctors before he had the surgery on the PCL. When you read the State Hornet article linked by Kadeezy, it was bace on that timeline before Shaw had done or began to pursuit any long time or definitely workouts.

The dates of the photos are Oct, 6th, 2011 when the story was written on the Oct. 12th, 2011 one week later
The date of the article was posted on the date of Oct 12, up dated on the Oct. 13, 2011 (check the dates.)

So considerconsidering this and the fact that I was at the MU home game (Sept. 24, 2011) and Curtis Shaw was on the bench with his leg up from what I could see from my view of the game and the sideline Shaw was their from start to finish of the game, it was very cold that night. when the game was over he was walking out with with his leg helpers under both arms.

At the EWU game shaw was on the sideline as well with his legrap and standing from time-to-time and walking with a limp talking with other players. that date was on Oct. 22, 2011.

What I read from one of the links, it said that shaw was having some pain and inflammation that had set in his knee and therefor he could not stay with timeline that had been set up from the start of his MRI on the 7th of Sept. 2011. His pain started on (the date of this was posted on Oct. 25, 2011 so he had halted all of his filed workouts 2 days before that time.

This is what was said from trainer Joe Ramos "that Shaw was working to fast and to long on trying to get back to fast and this is why inflammation had set in." His doctors out of Kaiser in Sacramento, said that at the time they are thinking of having more surgery on the knee if the rehab was not comming along as it should. (Date Nov.9th, 2011)

If you noties Coach Sperbeck, did not talk much about Shaw and his rehab much until he came out in this link http://hornets.bigskyfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1494" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; why? Because he had not the ok from the Shaw's doctors. The doctors did not say he was out for the year until late in the season (Date oct. 31, 2011)

So I am sorry your sassumption based on this statement from the State Hornet article linked by Kadeezy is wrong.
If you had said this last year about Shaw, I would have or might have agreed with you.
Because I thought Shaw would be back in 3 weeks and I was very much let down that he had not made it back because I like what I saw in the Stanford game. I also was let down very much with (WR Brandyn Reed) for much of the same thoughts.

But now that I have read what Shaw said in this link that Kadeezy posted ( Since the concussion, Shaw has worked hard to recover and get back.
“It’s been a long process. Every day you wake up with headaches,” Shaw said. “I wasn’t able to go to class or do anything for three weeks. It was a hard process to catch up with school and try and get back in shape.”)

I have much more respect for him and what he had to indore. If you see what happen Chris Owusu from Stanford UV. even before his second concussison injury, Chris Owusu was not having the season that he or his Coach had hoped for. Give him credit for not being afraid to take the tough shots and go over the middle, but that ultimately led to his multiple concussions and putting him on the shelf for the remaining three and a half games (probably the bowl game as well and the NFL will have a say on his life as well). also look at J. Best from Cal. He may be done.
You must be very considerconsidering of concussions for the players life is on the line.
So I think the doctors and staff did the right move in keeping shaw out for the season.

So I don't give much credit to your story for 'doing the right thing' or being particularly smart... if they were, if they really considered what you said about Sac State or the coaching staff.
Which football player best embodies the 'pursuit of excellence with integrity definitely prefer or not, to go another year when he has been sat down with this kind of injury, I think a lot of Shaw becuse I think a lot of players would ready to give up with back-to-back injurys, (I'm still bitter about the let down with Shaw out for the year, but losing hm is (part of the game justifiable reason)....more.

when you considerconsidering stanford or another school. we were (and are) blessed with great coaching and a lot of great players, but this is still Sac State where it is unlikely to have elite players or a lot of depth in every position. Shaw is one in the RB position and we should hope he can stay completely fully responsible to Sac football and his school work always overachieving each week, and his foot speed to really make an impact.

I think we can see some big numbers in 2012. Shaw, he's the only one who will know when he is playing to his potential. so you or I can't really blame him for past set backs but I completely agree, that until he has done it at Sac he is non existant and just potential in the making.

Whith being said Go Sac & Shaw in 2012!!

Sorry this was my favorite part of the response. That being said I have had the opportunity to talk with Shaw a number of times and from what I can tell he seems like a great kid and I have always liked what I have seen from him on the football field when he has been healthy. Also Green4life, you might be a little too close to the situation with Shaw since it seems like you to offense to peoples opinions a little too quick. So just remember most of the people on this board are Sac State fans and want only the best for the school and the program.
 
I'm done with this thread for a while. It's incredibly painful and time-consuming to figure out what the heck Green4Life is trying to say.

I'm far from an Internet Grammar/Spelling Nazi, but this is just too much for me! :rofl:
