Game Thread. Cougs vs uw

I know some are impressed with the kid, but I have zero faith in Ward. I’ve seen a lot of QBs at WSU, and he’s not one I want around with the game on the line. He has talent, but his decision making is piss poor.

His competency is low. He is too close to having the wheel come off. He doesn’t make any high end plays to counter the knucklehead plays. He isn’t efficient enough and makes too many dumb mistakes to be a game manager… and he lacks any eye popping plays to be a game changer.

This is his 34th start. When does he turn the corner? When does he step onto the field and have control and command? When does he make things happen and have things happen?

If Mateer can’t beat him out he should transfer.

If I remember the halftime box score correctly, we have about 20 yards of offense in the 2nd half. And no points.

Yeah, that gives me a bad feeling too.
 
Whether Ward sucks or not... our line bites

If your line is having issues blocking, you add tight ends to help. You add bodies to create angles and doubles for them. What you don’t do is line up 4 and 5 wide and give them 0 help.

But What if that’s your offense?
 
UW with great field position again and need a FG to take the lead.
Not sure how the Cougs win this one the way the 2nd half is going.
Not blaming the defense, they have to be gassed at this stage.
UW is playing well right now.
 
The second half is a team collapse but Ward still gets most of the blame. We actually could have 2 more touchdowns in first half if Ward had been on the money.
 
Huge fumble recovery. Great job defense.
Cam Ward does it with his legs because the rest of the running game isn't there.

Huge extra point as it's a 9 point game.
UW will press for a quick score.
Maybe a time for a pick????
Exciting game.
 
Dude wide open guys. I don't understand how he misses those guys.

What I don't understand is how Cam can either not see such a wide open WR, that a TD waiting to happen,

Or

How Cam can then way overthrow such a wide open WR TD waiting to happen,

AND THEN.

THROW A ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AMAZING THREAD THE NEEDLE, 40 YARD TD PASS to a WR that has a quarter step on a DB, that is covering him like GLUE.

How can he hit such HARD throws, and mess up on the easiest throws?

Headscratcher.

How’s your competency?

For those of us that watched the game- that didn’t work. But keep spewing your BS.
 
Sweet. So now your offense is the qb catching the snap and throwing right away. Swing passes, bubbles and quick outs. Not gonna get far if the DC is defensing 3 plays and they’re all passes.
my post was actually cut short in speed of being at the game.

what I meant to post was in relation to us at the end when we had the ball.

I think our Oline is just bad... slow, weak, bad angles for our backs trying run outside.

Spread and set more for vertical running vs. horizontal.

Unless Wisconsin is so powerful on run defense that it was true cause for us sucking azz on the run game... there will "probably be" 3 games where we get blown off the field

You have to help them. If your 5 can’t move their 3 or 4, add bodies. Make it a double team. Start pulling guys. Don’t block anyone head up. Cut the shit outta them. You can’t keep asking the OL to do what they can’t do.

Cam has to run. Called run. Draw play. Add another dimension for the defense to defend. What happens when he gets 40-60 yards per game rushing?

The kids in the B10 lift weights. It is a big, powerful league. The Pac 2 is not. The kids don’t do the work. So we will see what happens down the schedule.

There are winnable games on the schedule. It isn’t murderers row.

This is what I saw. Watson can run you saw it on the last drive, and we know Jenkins can too. This is a bad OLine which makes this game even that more impressive. Unfortunately there are teams on our schedule we will have to run the ball against to have a chance…and we just can’t. Oh well 2-0 is 2-0.
