Having played our toughest game and still have 9 to go.

 

[UberCougars]

Kinda like NASCAR where they open the season playing their Super Bowl.

Eh….pump the breaks a bit. Boise States running back is a F’n load, might be the best college back since Saquan Barkley. UW exposed some glaring weaknesses (deep balls) that some of these teams are capable of exploiting.

Besides as awesome as that was, I’m not sure UW is that good.

Agreed. Boise probably has one of the best running backs in the country.
Two. UW will probably lose 5 games this year, based on their schedule.

 

[cr8zyncalif]

We still don’t know what it means to play a disciplined team that is not trying to give the game away with dumbsh*t plays. 3 facemask calls in one game? Multiple D offsides calls? BSU is well coached. That, more than their RB, is the cause for concern.

 

[roses04]

Don’t forget Fresno St, played Michigan close.

Boise St, and maybe Fresno St, might have something to say about that, and disagree about UW supposedly being toughest game on WSU schedule.

UW is semi good, but probably not better, tougher then BSU, and probably just a semi slightly semi above average, semi middle of Big 10 team, semi comparable to how Wisconsin was when WSU beat them.

We’re just barely starting to get an idea of who these teams are. Most of the MWC has played an FCS team and a body bag game that don’t tell us much.

We travel to Boise and Fresno back to back, and neither of them is a pushover. Are we going to get the Boise that gave up 40+ to Georgia southern, or the one that almost took down Oregon in Autzen? Fresno played tough at Ann Arbor. We took care of Texas Tech, but we’re not sure how good they are. We took care of UW…same thing. We left points on the field against both. We can’t afford to think we’ve got an easy road the rest of the way - we don’t. Right now BSU’s big back is drooling over us, knowing how we’ve struggled with the run up the middle.

Regardless, we shouldn’t be looking at BSU or Fresno yet. SJSU is 3-0 too. They might not be a quality opponent, but we just don’t know yet.

Some of the things you said are true, some not, some partially true, not.

1. Texas Tech is at least semi good. They have put up AMAZING numbers, against ACU(Who is at least semi good), and even a 66-21 score after the WSU, TT game, even if against a crap team, is AMAZING.

2. UW on a scale of 1 to 10, is probably a 5.9, 6.3, 6.5, 6.7, 6.9, 7.3

3. UW's RB was supposedly supposed to be unstoppable by WSU, and yet WSU SHUT HIM DOWN(Had 2,3 semi bigger plays, but overall had about 3.3 yards per carry, and about 33 to 43 to 53 yards. UW's RB is supposedly semi comparable, semi similar to BSU's RB.

BSU, Fresno St, is not going to be easy, but WSU probably should, will at least beat SJSU, probably at least either Split against BSU, Fresno St, or just barely beat both, or just barely lose to both, and if WSU goes 4-2, 5-1, 6-0, the rest should probably be pretty easy.

That does not mean that WSU can afford to take that for granted, not show up, etc.

But Dickert, Team doesn't hardly ever take teams for granted, not show up, not focus, etc.

Dickert, team is all about focus, trying best, going 1-0, etc, each week.

But that's Dickert, Team, etc, us fans, can, should expect to do well vs SJSU, BSU, Fresno St, rest of MWC, as WSU, Dickert, team is a good coach, likely good team, etc.

.

UW's RB (Coleman) had 14 carries for 75 yards, a 5.4 YPC average. That's not exactly shutting him down.

UW's RB (Coleman) had 14 carries for 75 yards, a 5.4 YPC average. That's not exactly shutting him down.

Like I said some of that came from 2,3 semi bigger runs.

11,12 carries for about 45 yards(14 carries minus 2,3 carries of about 10 to 13 to 15 yards per carry for 2,3 carries equals about 11,12 carries for about 45 yards, for about a 3.5 yards per carry for the rest of the remaining carries)

That is pretty good for a defense where RB that was supposedly supposed to put up 125 to 150 to 175 to 200 yards on WSU's defense.

UW's RB really didn't make a difference in the game, except for 2,3,4 first downs, and the play action pass.

So that 14 carries for 75 yards either didn't make a difference, or didn't make much of a difference.

And there was a semi lot of plays, where UW's RB only got -2, -1, 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 yard gains.

That's not what you said. You said:

"(Had 2,3 semi bigger plays, but overall had about 3.3 yards per carry, and about 33 to 43 to 53 yards."

"Overall" mean in total. In total he did not have 33 to 43 to 53 yards and 3.3/carry.

Just sayin'........

I don't even know why I'm bothering, but:

• Abilene Christian is semi good? Uh...ok, I guess...if mediocre FCS teams are to be considered semi-good. They were 5-6 last year, and this year they're 2-1 with a 2 point win last week over mighty Northern Colorado. ACU's QB has thrown for 300 yards exactly twice in his career, but had over 500 against TT. He did not break 300 against either of their other opponents this year - West Georgia and the aforementioned Northern Colorado. N. Texas gave up 38 to South Alabama...so 66 to TT sounds about right. But sure...if we want to use those as the measuring sticks to say that Tech is "semi-good" I guess we could. It's kind of the same as going to a little people convention to claim you're tall though.
• "UW on a scale of 1 to 10, is probably a 5.9, 6.3, 6.5, 6.7, 6.9, 7.3" This statement is broad, abstract, and lacks reference...so is meaningless.
• We didn't "shut down" Coleman. He had 5.3 yards per carry, which is pretty huge. As for your claim that there were a "semi lot" of plays (whatever the hell that means) where he got less than 2.5, here's the fact: he had 6 carries that were 3 yards or less. Two of those were no gain, and two were losses - including the idiotic option on 4th down that was doomed before he ever touched it, but he gets the stat anyway. He also had 4 carries that went for more than 10. So really, he had a decent day, and we should be glad the UW coaches weren't smart enough to give it to him more.
• "UW's RB is supposedly semi comparable, semi similar to BSU's RB" Not sure what "semi comparable" means either. They are similar sized, Coleman is 15 lbs heaver, Jeanty is probably faster. Coleman is getting 12-13 carries per game, Jeanty is getting 22. And, Jeanty is averaging 10.2 yards per carry for the season. That is ridiculous. He's going to be the biggest threat we face this season - forget about COleman.
• "11,12 carries for about 45 yards(14 carries minus 2,3 carries of about 10 to 13 to 15 yards per carry for 2,3 carries equals about 11,12 carries for about 45 yards, for about a 3.5 yards per carry for the rest of the remaining carries)" If I understand this word salad correctly, it means that if an RB has long runs, we shouldn't count them in their stats. So the 63 yards Coleman had on 4 carries don't really mean anything, we should only consider the other 10 carries that only netted 12 yards. Those long runs don't really matter anyway...his 29 yard run in the 3rd led to a FG, but since they didn't win, I guess it was meaningless. I count at least 5 times he ran for first downs, which extended drives. But that's meaningless, it doesn't make a difference in the game.

I’m not gonna get into the other nonsense but let’s put to rest any idea that Coleman is close to Jeanty. Jeanty is the best back in the country and is everything you want in a top level NFL RB. Coleman is good but he is probably a mid to late round draft pick.

I think the proper term is "semi-tall"!

UW's RB (Coleman) had 14 carries for 75 yards, a 5.4 YPC average. That's not exactly shutting him down.

Back in the glory days of WSU playing in Joe Albi Stadium, WSU played Oregon Ducks and Bobby Moore (AKA Ahmad Rashad), with their star back averaging about 120-130 yards per game. Bernard Jackson busted loose for 260 yards and Moore ran for 160. Comment in the Spokesman stoary was about how the Cougars defense "held" Moore to only 160 yards, which you can see was way above his average per game. LOL

Pretty sure that was the game that Bernard busted that fake punt for a TD, GREAT play!
