Shaw out

Sophomore WR Curtis Shaw has left the team, Tyrone Willingham said today. Shaw will return to California to address unspecified family issues.

Shaw, along with Sophomore D'Andre Goodwin was one of two returning recievers who've caught a pass in game action.

One of the fastest players on the squad, Shaw returned kicks and ran the ball a handful of times early in the season before switching to wideout halfway through the season. Coaches said they envisioned Shaw filling a James Rodgers-like role, running the ball out of the backfield on fly sweeps and reverses, while running routes downfield in the passing game.

Willingham left the door open for Shaw's eventual return.
