Buddy, you were absolutely not the problem here. 375 yards and 4 TDs, 65 rushing and a TD. Interesting comment from Dickert that Mateer didn't practice all week (foot).

John Mateer shoulders blame for offensive execution in WSU's 38-35 loss to New Mexico

'First half was good, but the second half we didn't get it done'

As said elsewhere, our defense was horrible all game. Also agree that this defense bears no resemblance to the one that beat the mutts. Thornton appeared to be burned on anything that came his way. Score some Peyote down there before the game?

On a positive note, the sweet nectar commonly known as Coors Light doesn't give me a hangover (thankfully ). And the sun came up today.

I wouldn’t say Mateer was the problem but when you have a two score lead and a shaky defense you absolutely cannot come out and do jack shit on your first four possessions of the second half. Now I put 99% of that on Arbuckle but I’m sure that’s what Mateer is speaking to.

Mateer was 15/17 in the first half, very sharp. Second half seemed to go to a lot of sidearm throws and several of them were floating high. Very bad accuracy, including one where he was rolling out left and instead of just firing as he ran, he actually jump up as he threw it. Of course it was off target.

Yeah, hard to blame him, but the one where he floated an easy first down to Pululasi 8 ft over his head while he had no one within 5-7 yards stands out as a point where I said, we’re losing this game.

I thought it was 3 side arm misses on the first possession of the 2nd half. Why not run the ball when up 2 tds?

Because Mateer was 15/17 at half. If Arbuckle calls runs that get stuffed, he’s being criticized for going away from the hot hand, right?

He had a terrible third quarter and a poor second half. One good drive in crunch time.

Yes, but our stupid addiction to running up the gut drives me nuts. Especially with our Oline not being extra awesome
