You run a defense specifically to stop passing offenses but your kids are out of position. C’mon guys.
And we either gave them another possession or the refs did. Lined up in the neutral zone on third down and 4…hmmmm.
I don’t think you can go against USC’s roster and expect a zone to stop the pass…unless your pass rush is overwhelming.
Now they can officially say they made the playoffs. ALDS makes it official in my mind.
I think our edge rushers can beat their OTs. They’ve gotten a good jump a few times, including the play where they got the holding call. My guess is that Williams is varying his cadence well and keeping them off balance.
You are guessing poorly. They have 4-5 star tackles and no respect for WSU. They’re not varying the cadence.
Every decent QB does. And Williams is.
Also helps that their OTs know how to keep their hands where the refs don’t see the holding.
Nope. You are over thinking this. And every OL is taught to punch and grab chest plates.
Why did WSU elect to receive? Defer...always defer.
This is a very important possession for the Cougars.

You think that was dumb? Looked like a BS PI call to me. I’ve never seen 7 so directly traced to a [bad] call than that PI call right there
Playing the conference bluebloods is so frustrating, esp as a WSU type team. Best case scenario the refs accidentally ensure the cookie crumbles against you; worst case, the refs do it on purpose

the Oregon DPI 6-7 years ago. getting jobbed at the coliseum around that time as well. And now the free 7 before halftime, again at the coliseum. The Stanford (was it McAffrey?) play in Pullman years ago.
even if you’re a ‘everything is a coincidence’ kind of guy, the fact that these benefit Oregon & USC (or whoever is the conference hopeful) somewhere between 100% and 100% of the time has to make your spidey sense go off

Wait, you mean receivers aren’t allowed to extend both arms and push the defender who’s half their size?
That’ll be news to Pac-12 officials.
Nothing worse than listening to the guys in the booth talk about the “raw talent and athleticism” that has kept a top recruiting class in the game, while completely ignoring the hometown cooking calls that have kept that top recruiting class in the game.
Hired stooges aren’t allowed to be honest in those moments, so they’re forced to brush their teeth with the official conference-loyalist sentiment

He expects to get every call even when it’s obviously not in his favor. Reminds me of Helton a few years back. The amount of “assistance” USC needs to beat us in their house is insane. Conference has zero shame.
