David Shaw on 49ers’ Thomas vs. McCaffrey: ‘Big moment for Stanford football’

David Shaw has a busy weekend.

After leading his team against sixth-ranked USC in Los Angeles on Saturday night, the Stanford head coach will be at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday morning.

Shaw was a teammate at Stanford with 49ers general manager John Lynch, but he’ll attend the 49ers’ season opener against the Panthers to see two of his former players: 49ers rookie defensive tackle Solomon Thomas, the No. 3 pick in the draft, and Carolina rookie running back Christian McCaffrey, who went No. 8.

Shaw plans to be at Levi’s for pregame and part of the first half.
