Official game thread. Cougs vs. Coogs

[ElComanche]

Gordon has all the time in the world Maybe a QB who can take off once in a while would revive this offense. Gordon has looked terrible and i am not impressed

 

[ElComanche]

Gordon does not appear to be a vocal leader who can inspire this team.?

 

[ShockandAweWSU]

Gordon is kind of a cocky bastard.

 

[PINGDUDE4]

We. Are. Slow. On. Defense.

Slow and soft is not a good combination. Man those guys who graduated on D must have been absolute studs. This years' unit is a figment of last year's defense.

Hate to also bring up the obvious , but is the Grinch effect slowing wearing off ?

You forgot out of position.

 

[walzuu]

Could be worse... could be Boston College.

 

[ShockandAweWSU]

Guys on D just to need to step up. Way too much talent on D to being playing this poorly. That missed sack by Woods and Taylor was a real pivotal play. I think Phelps is about to give up on Nnamdi. He looks the part, but just doesn't show up on gameday.

 

[dgibbons]

Paraphrasing Dean Wormer, slow, small and out of position is no way to play defense, son.

 

[CougPatrol]

The defensive line is not just getting blown off of the ball, they’re getting lifted up and moved out of the way.

 

[702coug]

You guys are high. Gordon looks fine. He's delivers some beautiful shots. Relax.

Those last 2 throws were bad in anyone's book. The short hop at least did not have a chance to an INT. On the interception it looked as if it was a completed mystery to him that a safety could actually come over and make the pick. One of Gardner's and Falk's best traits was having awareness of where the safeties are. Houston is playing classic 2 deep coverage right now so he better learn quick or that will not be his last INT tonight.

Running 27 plays was a problem.

He also needs some route combinations in the middle of the field.

 

[dgibbons]

Awesome way to start the half.

 

[Cougsocal]

Defense isn't good, but neither is the offense. Imagine the problems we'd be having if Houston didn't give "Ordinary" Gordon all day to throw.

 

[dgibbons]

Ok defense.

 

[dgibbons]

Let’s get this done.

 

[COUGinNCW]

Coug Ball! Quick snap got them a TD in the first half but it got them on 4th down.

 

[SaveFerris]

Glad to have Ron Stone back. Short field.

 

[KingTrump]

lol these announcers, not seeing that King's knee was down before the ball reached the 1st down marker

 

[dgibbons]

First conversion on third down.

 

[dgibbons]

Ok defense. Let’s make some memories.

 

[COUGinNCW]

“Touch Down - Washington State”

Bob Robertson

 

[SaveFerris]

Couldn't really have had a better start to the half.

 

[dgibbons]

Houston could have forfeited. Just sayin.

 

[sellas]

Phew. That could be a MO turning point

 

[ShockandAweWSU]

Great block by Valencia. Good adjustment by hitting checkdown to Borghi in the flat. Need another stop. Look like Claeys adjusted by putting more guys in the box. Isom back should help.

He missed a completely wide open arcanado crossing in that play. Open early, too.

and Stone playing now too

 

[dgibbons]

Deep throw = PI.

 

[sellas]

that's a good PI

 

[dgibbons]

Never should have been called complete. The ball came out when he hit the ground.

 

[How_did_this_happen?]

Third and 7. They have our D right where they want us.

 

[702coug]

Damn I'm worried about holgersons hair.

 

[SaveFerris]

Maybe we should have asked for a Big Sky crew.

 

[dgibbons]

Let’s go offense.

 

[chipdouglas]

Dana Holgorsen is central casting for an 80s movie about a drunk domestic abuser

 

[SaveFerris]

King throwing outside the pocket is a good thing.

 

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

Damn I'm worried about holgersons hair.

He knows he can wear a ball cap, right?

 

[How_did_this_happen?]

Oh no. Targeting?
