New thread: how many wins without Mateer?

[ttowncoug]

I get that this is like asking how many wins in 1997 without Leaf but this isn’t Leachs air raid with a stable of and that can chuck it. This is an offense that relies on Mateer to make plays

Dickfore has hit the plunger. Drain is spiraling on WSU football. He is one step ahead of Wulff.

He doesn’t know how to hire. How many DCs is he gonna go thru? And the OL coach? This group should have taken a step forward this year on maturity alone. Another step forward because of this JV schedule. They haven’t.

What position group is thriving?

Exactly the same as Wulff except he has 8 wins with two to play and has more wins in his first four seasons than ANY other coach in WSU history.

Yup, other than that success metric, they’re exactly the same.

Good call, Biggs. Very astute.

None, Biggs. There is nothing good. There is no talent and there is no reason to even follow the program at all.

I think you should quit.

4-5 so far? Eckhaus seemed pretty decent.

1997 sans-Leaf? same 4-5....

Edit - and Mateer (incorrectly) shoulders the blame for not scoring enough points to win. What a class act, even though we lost DESPITE his usual heroics. Shit, didn't we score one of those last TD's on 5 straight Mateer runs? Hoppe a cute coed or two were waiting to console him when he got home.

Not many, but how many wins are lost to any team that loses a top level QB? Oregon? Ohio State? Alabama, KC Chiefs?

How many wins without Gesser? Minshew? Bledsoe (92)?

Under Leach... I liked how we seemed to have backups ready to go... ready for the next year.

Granted... the NIL and Transferring like it's picking a new restaurant probably hurt us for having mega awesome backups quite a bit.

Back up... Falk
Back up... Hilinski
Back up... Gordon
Back up... Mateer

Who was backing up De Laura?
