Game Thread. Americas Team vs. Stanford

[702coug]

No time to get cute. Run Watson…

 

[CougPatrol]

That's uplifting, thanks.

 

[KRUSTYtheCOUG]

Yeah, that didn’t look good

Kinda surprised that stuff doesn't happen more often

 

[95coug]

This drive is over. But if we don’t start throwing longer and forcing the D to extend, our offensive scoring is over too.

 

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

Some...line flipping.

Got rolled up on, thinking high ankle sprain.

6-8 weeks.

 

[COUGinNCW]

Eat case scenario is it’s a bad sprain.

You could see his ankle get pinned at a really bad angle. Definitely not good.

 

[95coug]

Wouldn’t be surprised to find something is torn. It was an ugly twist and angle

Didn’t need to see the replay

 

[95coug]

Well, if the offense can’t punch it in….

 

[SaveFerris]

Up 21-7, but we really needed that kind of play to extend it out further. Especially given the line situation.

 

[CougPatrol]

I'll say this for Dickert. We've come to play every game since he took over last season. That's an important data point.

 

[95coug]

We even have the announcers saying to go deep (granted, it’s Bumpus) but still we refuse.

We’re just dead set on being easy to defend.

 

[702coug]

For a school with unlimited funds,Stanford's field looks like crap.

 

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

dafuq is wrong with Ollie? What's with the chip?

Color me not impressed.

 

[CougPatrol]

Is this setting up for the comeback payback? Rueben Mayes vs. Stanford back in the day?

What ever happened to Dieu?

 

[702coug]

Holy hell, Stanford is a mess. Is Shaw ever in jeopardy of losing his gig?

 

[CougPatrol]

And please everyone, no excuses for Stanford. They kicked our asses for years.

RUN IT UP!!!

 

[CougPatrol]

Feeling a little better about Apple Cup? I am.

 

[702coug]

Must. resist. thinking. about. UCLA. 2019,

Run Watson to 300 yards.

Stanford fortunately doesn’t have that kind of QB or offense.

 

[95coug]

Must. resist. thinking. about. UCLA. 2019,

After the last TD the kid made a comment that started “there’s no way…”

Had to tell him about 2019 UCLA. Led up to it with most of the 2005 season. Not sure he believed it.

Actually, still not sure I do.

 

[SaveFerris]

For a school with unlimited funds,Stanford's field looks like crap.

It's been a long slow decline since Harbaugh left. I know some don't, but I like Shaw. People were talking about him going to the NFL. He loves 'Furd, but I think they move on from him.

 

[KRUSTYtheCOUG]

Must. resist. thinking. about. UCLA. 2019,

Feels more like Oregon 2002 in Eugene to me (or was it 2003)Fumbles everywhere. Taihtsat

 

[Flatlandcoug]

I felt good about this game but I would have never foreseen all of the turnovers to make it brutally ugly. If I had a criticism, it feels like we should be running the ball even more than we have. Glad to see the defense having a good time. Hope we keep the hammer down and win 63-10.

Is this setting up for the comeback payback? Rueben Mayes vs. Stanford.

42 - 7 vs 42-14 when the comeback started.
Rueben (WSU) vs (Reuben) Stanford running back today
It's too close for comfort but I'll say no.
The Cougar defense is just too good today.

Rest Nakia Watson the rest of this game and, dare I say it, put in the backup QB in the 4th quarter.

 

[SaveFerris]

Langford getting picked on out of the half.

 

[95coug]

Not a big fan of the soft play on the corners. It’s 25 minutes too early to take our foot off the gas.

but a limited pool of players to recruit.

its been that way all year.

Agree.
Defense has to keep playing the way they did the first half.
Not a good way to start the second. Keep it together team.

 

[95coug]

Ok, so they score and give themselves some hope.

If I’m calling plays I go deep on first down and try for the quick score.

Plan B is an 8 minute drive ending with 7. But I prefer to destroy their hope right now.

 

[COUGinNCW]

Why make a fair catch on your 3 yard line? Apparently all Stanford kids aren’t geniuses.

 

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

running game = offense moves effectively.
passing game still has the same issues. CW makes some good passes, but some real stinkers too.

 

[jarvis1981]

45-14 Cougs with 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.
Would not have predicted this.
Stanford have a bunch of injuries but the Cougs are also missing a few players although not nearly as much as SU. Not too often you can put up these type of numbers on the road.
Keep it going.
Still want to see the backup QB in the 4th.

 

[anon_1nb5kgc7kwlls]

ahahahah ward cracks me up

 

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

Foot has been removed from gas.

If Furd scores right here, I'm gonna start worrying.

 

[CougPatrol]

100% correct decision to sit Nakia Watson out the rest of the way. Keep that kid healthy.
