WSU 49, NC 17

Defense gives up garbage time points again.

Visions of the UCLA game in ‘19. Shudder.

 

[Coug90]

WSU 48 NC 20. Most of this week has been spent on OSU prep. A couple series for the starters and get to the locker room without any injuries.

 

[CougPatrol]

This is a stats game. Starters will play through 3 quarters at least.

 

[Coug90]

WSU 62 UNC 71

If we gave up 71 to NC we should be in the MWC/Big Sky by next weekend.

37-20 Cougs

Unfortunately closer than it should be

Go to Wikipedia, and type in Nottingham Field. Look at the picture of their football stadium.

Over/under on rushing yards from Mateer? I say 150. Speaking of rushing yards let’s get 300+, shorten the game and get on with OSU prep.

Passing yards for Mateer.

Former training camp home of the Broncos. Back when they didn’t suck.

 

[Coug90]

Passing yards for Mateer.

Same. 150/150. Think we are gonna see like a 70 yard TD run from him.

 

[ttowncoug]

UNC will get points in the 2nd half, agreed. We just need to go out an execute, block, hike the ball to the QBs hands, and we will be fine.

I'm surpised the terrible QB staps haven't been a source of concern with more Coug fans. Very, very poor work by our center thus far. Inexcusable mistakes.

WSU 49, NC 17

Defense gives up garbage time points again.

Probably

 

[roses04]

be nice to see the defense pitch a shut out. I'd like to think the offense can put up 45 or more. I don't have a problem with less points of the reserves play the entire 2nd half

Explain to me why we are playing a Big Sky team in the first place? Why not just play Idaho?

 

[95coug]

I don't want to get too cocky and predict 84-0. But I just don't see anywhere that we don't have a decisive advantage. I'm seeing a comfortable first half lead - something on the order of 31-3, and going over to the backups early in the 3rd. Might be a slow third quarter - because they usually are, and because the 2nd team won't have their legs under them. But I think the 2nd team gets a couple of scores and we've got #3 under center before it ends. NC picks up some points in garbage time against the bottom of the depth chart.

I'm going with 52-24, but since NC has only scored 18 points total against teams that are likely worse than us...the 24 might be too much.


I don't necessarily object to playing a Big Sky team, but I'm not a big fan of playing really bad Big Sky teams. We still run the risk of injuries that could impact the season, and we really don't gain anything. It should give some live PT for the backups, but it has little value even as practice for the starters.

Idaho is on schedule for 2025.

 

[MapleStCoug]

Former training camp home of the Broncos. Back when they didn’t suck.

So if Cam goes 16/18 for 280 yards and 4 TDs in the first half does that make him the sheriff of Nottingham field?

 

[Coug90]

Idaho is on schedule for next year.

How many times?

 

[Loyal Coug1]

How many times?

Yeah was it New Mexico and NM state that played a home and home when they were both homeless?

 

[M-I-Coug]

How many times?

Correction. Idaho is 2025. Next year is Portland State and SDSU.

Idaho is going to Cal this weekend to beat the snot out of the Bears.

Yes, you read it here first.

Idaho makes an interesting psychology study. They seem to be more competitive against FBS opponents when they’re not an FBS team. They can’t have better players, coaches, or resources than they did. Is it that they’re playing with more underdog mentality? No expectation to win, so they have no pressure to perform? Or is it the opponents are less prepared?

Hard to figure really, since nobody took them seriously for the last decade as a FBS team anyway. But they definitely look better now.

Wouldn’t be shocking. Idaho is a well coached team. Bears better buckle it up.

 

[cr8zyncalif]

Only a 48-20 win. Our reserves get some time on the field.

Looks like a wrestling score....I remember a high school football game we won 6-2. All safeties on both sides.

Two stellar defenses, or two completely inept offenses?

 

[wsudefense]

We need a shut out for the defense and the offense needs to score at least 50

 

[anon_1nb5kgc7kwlls]

WSU 63 UNC 17

 

[cr8zyncalif]

Close enough. We'd gone 2-7 the year before. That year we ended up about 5-4.

Really? That's crazy.

Freeman 6, Plummer 2. First game of the fall 1971 season. And yes, it was pretty odd.
