Official Game thread. Cougs vs. Cats

[95coug]

We talk a lot about Morris, Ward, bubble screens, but how freaking good has Dickert's defense looked these past couple of years; particularly our secondary development (his specialty)?

So far, we've struck solid gold with the Dickert promotion.

They’ve been decent, but that deep sideline route is a consistent weakness

 

[CougPatrol]

LOL

 

[CougInSpain]

Why does our offense do this? So frustrating

 

[CougPatrol]

They’ve been decent, but that deep sideline route is a consistent weakness

Not sure how long you've been a WSU fan, but outside of the 1997 team, I don't think I've ever seen a WSU team kick the crap out of 3 consecutive conference opponents.

 

[CougPatrol]

Start milking the damn play clock.

 

[CougPatrol]

GET JENKINS OUT OF THERE.

 

[CougInSpain]

Jenkins having a crappy day

 

[CougInSpain]

Let Mateer start the 4th quarter.

Sorry late to party, and for posting a alternate thread, but this thread wasn't showing up.

Ward’s done a good job with the D as well.

 

[CougPatrol]

He's just so damn small. Playing by necessity.

Give Cam 1, 4th quarter series, and then put in Mateer

2013 WSU 24-17

2014 UA 59-37

2015 WSU 45-42

2016 WSU 69-7

2017 UA 58-37

2018 WSU 69-28

2021 WSU 44-18

FYI - WSU is 5 and 2 over the last ten years against Arizona. Maybe not so surprised to see the outcome so far today.

Cougs up 31-6 to start the 4th
Just run the ball to waste some more clock. No need for risk at this point.

 

[jarvis1981]

Good idea to give Mateer some reps.
He'll run the ball and use up clock.

 

[CougPatrol]

I'm OK with us going into clock kill offense now.

 

[95coug]

True enough, but it doesn’t change the weakness

 

[95coug]

If the D makes another stop, or at least burns 4 more minutes, I’m on board with that.

 

[mikalalas]

Jenkins having a crappy day

Jenkins hasn't had carries.

It's been Watson running the ball well.

No reason to have Jenkins running it, when Watson is doing good.

 

[sellas]

another pick would be amusing

 

[Wazzubrooz]

I’m enjoying watching JDL blame everyone around him. Not much of a leader if you ask me.

 

[95coug]

Too soft on D this drive

 

[spongeandshoot]

This offense would be a lot better if we quit running these lateral passes that keep getting blown up. I am shocked that we haven't fumbled. We dodged a bullet on the last one.

D is playing lights out.

Its personal.

Kyler Murray-esque

 

[CougPatrol]

Really no more need for high risk, heavy contact plays. Who cares about the final score. Run the ball, drain the clock and punt.

If we’re going to drop into a prevent and concede 10 yards underneath on every play, we can’t afford to go 3 & out yet. It’s not over yet

 

[95coug]

Arizona’s receivers are much better downfield blockers than ours

 

[CougPatrol]

We need some first downs, but the 40 second play clock is big.

 

[Observer11]

If anyone is scoreboard watching, Idaho pulling away from Idaho State 24-7.

We are all Vandals this week.

 

[CougPatrol]

Is Watson hurt?

 

[jarvis1981]

Solid drive to use up clock
Almost down to 6 minutes and if needed, punt it deep.
Arizona defense has been tough the 2nd half.

425 = Prevent defense

 

[sellas]

Max Browne is not good at color

 

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

They're going to insist on making the game way closer than it deserves to be.

Ugh...

 

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

That fumble brings something up that has been absent today - Ward's ridiculously long wind up. Maybe he's been working on it?

 

[CougPatrol]

OMG lol

 

[SaveFerris]

Max Browne is not good at color

Didn't think I would ever miss Lincoln Kennedy. I do.

 

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

JDL gonna JDL...

What we needed for the win.

 

[CougPatrol]

They're going to insist on making the game way closer than it deserves to be.

Ugh...

You sure? 🤫

 

[95coug]

Why is Ward still on the field?

 

[702coug]

This one feels good. Had it circled on the calendar all season
