Official Game Thread Cougs vs. Beavs

[Flatlandcoug]

I don’t disagree about JDL overall, but here’s the counterpoint: in every game this season before yesterday, the play calling in the 2nd half put the entire offense on JDL’s shoulders. We completely abandoned the run, and WE told our freshman QB to beat them with his arm. Big surprise, he couldn’t.

Yesterday, we maintained some options in the second half and the offense helped him out. It wasn’t all up to JDL, and he had his best half of football at WSU.

Coincidence? I don’t think so.

It’s one thing if the D takes away the run game and forces your QB to throw. It’s entirely different if you do it yourself. That’s what’s known as “stupid.”

Agree that the playcalling has been a problem. Frankly, if Rolovich had done the right thing and kicked the field goal at 4th and goal, we wouldn't have JDL being forced to make risky throws trying to make a difference. Plus, it would have been nice to be up by 10 points late instead of just 7 points. Rolovich and his OC need to help put him in better situations.
