Arm tackling high isnt going to get it done
I know I’m getting old but, why don’t footballers have knee pads in their pants anymore?
I remember the Cougs getting penalized because someone's (our kicker?) pants were above the knee. I dunno - I'd prefer to cover my knee in FB.Those dark blue Boise uniforms might camouflage the defense. Hope Mateer sees them on that hideous field.
Any coach worth their salt will run right at our ILB who can't tackle (name? 12 missed tackles) and make the Cougs prove it. I haven't seen him run, but if our DL can jam things up enough to get some hats on the ball we should be ok.Reality is that more than half of Jeanty’s yards were in game 1 against Georgia southern, as were 2/3 of his TDs. He can be dealt with…and he can also beat you by himself if you don’t deal with him.
We have to key strongly on him and keep him to 3 YPC to negate the big one he’ll no doubt break. Take him away as much as possible and force the QB to beat us in the air.
If we can. Frankly, I’m not sure we’ve got the personnel.

Oregon came out flat footed and played their worst game of the season because they were reading their own headlines.
Will we give up 200 yards on the ground? Probably. But at least 50 of that will be 1 or 2 chunk plays. Bow up in the red zone and hold them to 3 points per possession. Its not impossible.
I heard it made an appearance in Tri-Cities, but quickly sold out…and the website no longer says where to find it.$16 a Pac12 (see what I did there) at south hill Safeways.
I want the uw to lose every single game. Period.No, they need to win several games.

Their strength is our weakness. They have the best back in the country....and they will continue to feed him .
No, they need to win several games.I want the uw to lose every single game and let WSU take care of themselves.
That is true as well.We stomp them? Their strength is our weakness. They have the best back in the country....and they will continue to feed him .
We stomp them? Their strength is our weakness. They have the best back in the country....and they will continue to feed him .the donkeys are -6.5? Apparently it was bigger as I heard the radio guys say yesterday the people were betting the line down.
What am I missing?
My heart says we stomp, my head says its within a field goal.
Maybe its because we in recent history we play like shit vs Boise?
Subarus are awesome too. First car I bought outback V6. Car was fun, bulletproof , along with the best snow machine I’ve had.To each his own. Glad you liked Chaz's football play-by-play and Zeppos' Coaches Show talent. I did felt his strength was Basketball.
Hard to replace a Bob-Rob. I just thought they could have made a better hire, and they settled for average. Nothing special.
Again, to each his own and that's why they sell Subaru's and Motorcycles!
I want the uw to lose every single game and let WSU take care of themselves.Satisfying loss in a way but losing to LOWLY Rutgers, if UW lost to Rutgers, kind of hurts WSU's 4-0. Now have to hope that Texas Tech, SJSU keep on winning, or the UW loss to Rutgers will really hurt WSU 4-0, bowl selections, CFP chances, etc.
I would have rather UW lose to all the good teams, and beat the Rutger's, Northwestern's, Indiana's, Illinois's, Kentucky estate, Duke's, Vandy's, etc, so as to not hurt WSU's CFP chances, if WSU goes 11-1, etc.
I’d say likely. I tried telling anyone who would listen UW was about to crawl back into their mediocrity hole for another decade. UW is like the cicada, every once in a while they come out and make some noise, but there’s about 7 years of slumber in between.It also wouldnt surprise me to see UW 4-8.
As great a game day coach and great decisions by DeBoer, he sure left the cupboard bare?
