Official game thread. Cougs vs. Coogs

[Coug1990]

Houston has better athletes. This is a dangerous game.

I don't agree. If they were, they wouldn't have been run out last year by Army in their bowl. They are playing fired up and above their heads right now. That may be enough for them if the Cougars do not begin to play better.

 

[Brent H.]

It’s gonna be a long year when our best tackler can’t even make a tackle.

 

[kougkurt]

Remember that missed sack on 3rd down

Remember that missed sack on 3rd down

Double whiff.

 

[dgibbons]

And there’s the PI.

 

[SaveFerris]

Seems like we are starting to figure things out.

 

[dgibbons]

Well, time for the offense to get it done.

 

[dgibbons]

Seems like we are starting to figure things out.

So is Houston. QB keeping it on the read, then hitting the slant off the read.

 

[SaveFerris]

We should be driving to take the lead if we could simply make a tackle.

 

[702coug]

We have to answer Cougs.

 

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

If the analyst is correct that Gordon is missing open guys...I wouldn't be surprised

He's going full Falk. Gotta find a guy within 3 seconds or tuck and run. Or he should have checked to run to begin with. So yeah, he's making shitty reads.

 

[Brent H.]

Gordon is playing like he’s never seen man coverage before and our defense is as bad as we feared so that’s just a recipe for disaster.

 

[jarvis1981]

So WSU is up against a decent team after two softies.
They have to work things out. Despite that last TD for Houston, WSU had chances to get out of that defensively.
Offense needs to get something going. If I recall WSU was having problems at Wyoming for a while and put it together in the 2nd half.

 

[COUGinNCW]

Seems like we are starting to figure things out.

Cougs miss Jalen Thompson big time.

 

[COUGinNCW]

Cougs miss Jalen Thompson big time.

Wow. Great catch by Arconado.

 

[dgibbons]

Where’s the targeting pac-12 refs?

 

[SaveFerris]

Cougs miss Jalen Thompson big time.

...and Gardner and Pelluer. We still can play better than this.

 

[Coug1990]

We should be driving to take the lead if we could simply make a tackle.

I have never seen so many missed tackles since 2008 through 2011

 

[SaveFerris]

We have showed up!

 

[dgibbons]

That’s more like it.

 

[COUGinNCW]

Great drive!

 

[Brent H.]

Alright defense.

 

[SaveFerris]

All square. Lets go!

 

[dgibbons]

Leach was probing, changing formations and noodling around those first two drives.

 

[dgibbons]

Tackle please.

 

[dgibbons]

Isom is out again. In the medical tent.

 

[Brent H.]

Isom is out again. In the medical tent.

Are you radio and tving it?

 

[CATabulous]

Beautiful pass!

 

[SaveFerris]

Are you radio and tving it?

Jess reported on the radio.

 

[dgibbons]

Are you radio and tving it?

The only way to go.

 

[dgibbons]

More terrible tackling.

 

[dgibbons]

Late arriving shootout.

 

[Brent H.]

This defense baaaaad.

 

[SaveFerris]

First half is flying by.

 

[702coug]

Man defense is gonna make this difficult.

 

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

These kids in D are young, and frankly, not very good right now.

J.Rogers just dropped back on an obvious qb draw. What about run blocking isn't he reading? I'm picking in him, but the DL still has no gap discipline. And King is going to eat the nickel alive if TC keep calling it every play.

 

[dgibbons]

Man defense is gonna make this difficult.

And painful.

King is going to make some plays. But when two LBs bounce off him that’s just bad.

 

[SDCoug]

They are going to score. We should just let them now so we can have time to tie it back up. This D is horrible.

 

[jarvis1981]

Houston QB is a player.
If WSU can contain him then they can contain any other QB on their schedule
Some adjustments may be needed in the 2nd half.

 

[sellas]

TO worked. look at that tackling. /s
