12 carries - 154 yards and 2 touchdowns. Half of that was from the 75 yard touchdown run.
In reality, he was nicked but 11 carries for 79 yards and a touchdown is a more accurate indicator of his success versus Clemson.
With that logic, based in so much reality, I would say to take a look at the SC v. UNC game.
Take away the Mike Davis 75 yd run and he rushes for 50 yds on 11 carries. That's quite paltry against a team like UNC.
Take away Shaq Roland's 65 yd TD and Shaw is 10-19 for 84 yds.
Hell, take away those two big plays and the score is 13-10.

Shaw is a threat to UGA in the air and on the ground. I see you neglected to put Shaw's total yds, which would be his total effect on the game. (192 yds) You can't deny that he gives defenses fits on the ground and should do so in Athens.
Connor also makes VERY few mistakes and can make all the short and intermediate throws (see Mizzou '12, 20comp of 21att) I will give you that he struggles with deeper routes though.
Also, just in case you didn't see the game, Shaw and Roland almost hooked up for another TD in the 1st quarter that Roland really should have had, it was very close.

shite. I saw the game and didn't come away impressed with South Carolina on either side of the ball. I know the game doesn't always work this way, but I like to see a team earn all their points. From my observation, most huge plays given up are due to defensive mistakes and not offensive execution, e.g. missed tackles, bad angle, being out of position, poor effort, not getting off a block, etc. "Earned" points don't happen in one big play and don't require a bunch of defensive errors or penalties.
