Shaw enrolled at Creighton University in Omaha in the fall of 1918 and went out for football; he played one game before the rest of the schedule wiped out by the flu epidemic. He transferred to the University of Notre Dame in 1919. Shaw apparently loved track and field competition. In fact it was track, not football that attracted him to Notre Dame. He enrolled at South Bend and went out for the track team. However, Shaw fell into the hands of Knute Rockne and became one of the greatest tackles and placekickers in Notre Dame history.

Shaw was a starter for Rockne from 1919 to 1921, first at left tackle and then in 1920 and 1921 as right tackle opening holes for George Gipp. He finished his playing career being selected an All-American by Football World Magazine. Shaw also set a record by converting 38 of 39 extra points during his varsity career, a mark that stood until 1976, more than 50 years after he graduated. Shaw is a member of the all-time "Fighting Irish" football team.

Lawrence T. “Buck” Shaw is synonymous with Santa Clara Football. He assumed the role of head coach in 1936, and lead the team to an incredible winning record of 47-10-2, until Bronco football was suspended for WWII in 1942. His coaching career highlights include a victory over LSU in the 1937 Sugar Bowl, a #9 tie with Notre Dame on the 1938 end of season AP Poll, and another defeat of LSU in the 1938 Sugar Bowl. His successes at Santa Clara did not go unnoticed. In 1946, Shaw continued his coaching career as the first coach of the new San Francisco 49ers franchise. Fourteen years later, as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, his team defeated Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers to win the 1960 NFL Championship. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1972, the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame in 1985, and the Santa Clara Athletic Hall of Fame in 1962. In honor of his contributions to the school, Buck Shaw Stadium was constructed in 1965 on the Santa Clara Campus.
