If Stutzman had called plays

Since day 1 of the ‘21 season, we are 5-1 at worst with an outside shot of 6? Looking around the league with all the struggles, it makes those early meltdowns hurt more.

No. Maybe we’ve won one more.

Utah State. We might win Utah if JDL was healthy and him calling the plays.

Right, because he was out of the 2nd half of the SC game.

Y'all put way too much faith in Rolo.

Or no faith in back up QBs.

I don't necessarily have faith in Rolo, but I've always believed in letting the full season play out before making a lot of judgments about the coach, players, and team performance. I understand game-by-game reactions by fans, but also think it's only fair to give everyone the opportunity to improve and establish a successful season. I sure didn't see victories at Cal or vs. OSU after the way the season started. So I'm still holding on to some hope that the Cougars end up with a pretty good season. That could come crashing down over the next couple of weeks, but I'll take a wait and see approach, enjoying wins whenever they happen.

Sports is always a marathon but as a fan it feels like a sprint. I was calling for Rolo to be ousted early, but sometimes seasons can turn on a dime one way or another for reasons we may not be aware of. Everyone left on the schedule is beatable- Oregon showed us this again last night. If something truly clicked for the offense last week, no reason this team can’t go on a streak and be in the hunt for the North.

Agree with everything Coug90 says here. I feel the win over OSU is being short-changed in a lot of eyes simply because it was OSU. However, OSU is not the OSU of old. Smith has them in an upward trajectory and that Coug win was a significant step forward for the Cougs. It mattered, and, I feel, altered the course of this season for us.
