the big adjustment I saw was ASU showing up to play in the second halfOriginally posted by nicenez:
Not terribly surprising though. Pretty much mirrors the season as a whole.
Ok, what adjustments would you have made. Are you talking offense, defense or both?Originally posted by nicenez:

Good observation dgibbons, for the most part the WSU O-line did indeed dominate the LOSOriginally posted by dgibbons:
Yeah, since the OL was dominating the LOS and everything....
If you don't support Leach, that's your call. But you should at least watch the game before you comment on it.Originally posted by chinookpirate:

Falk averaged over 8 yards per pass attempt, even with the picks and some misses on the deep balls. Even when you throw out Falk and Dascalo's rushing stats, the backs were averaging 3.5 yards per carry, with a lot of them getting stuffed right at the LOS. Falk was already dealing with 2nd and long and 3rd and long too often, why guaranty more of them?Originally posted by earldacoug:
3 yards or zero yards, would have been better than the 8 yard losses from the sacks. Once Falk got pounded he began making more mistakes too.
Based on the posts on this forum, it's quite obvious people do not understand this offense, and the only possible reason is that they're choosing not to.Originally posted by spongebob11:
Everyone here understands how the offense is supposed to work. That is a copy and paste from his book. We get that.
But Leach is still the head coach... and if we pass the ball 74 times and only run it 14 with a frosh, you are either coaching it or allowing it to happen.
Running the ball more would have put Falk in more difficult situations. I know that because I watched the game.Originally posted by chinookpirate:
Jamal Morrow had one rush for a loss of 3 yards. Outside of that one run, Morrow and Mason had 10 carries for 45 yards with the long run being 13 yards.
again, it was Falk's 5 turnovers resulting in 35 ASU points that were the difference in this game.
And you wanted more 2nd and long and 3rd and long. Morrow did not average 3.5 ypc.Originally posted by spongebob11:
Thank you. You just already made my argument for me.
They were already facing 2nd long and 3rd and long with what they were doing all game long(74 passes, 14 runs) and as you just mentioned, Morrow was only averaging 3.5 yds per run.
So if you run more with that average on 1st down (when they are giving you the run), you are in a more managable 2nd down.
Since you like to watch each game 3 times, maybe on the 2nd or 3rd viewing you'll see the series in the second half where we run the ball on 1st down for 4 yds and complete the 2nd down pass for an easy first down.
Very next play, incomplete pass. 2nd and 10 we run the ball for a 8 or 9 yd gain.
"But..but some of our runs got stuffed at the line of scrimage"...well look at what happened on 5 of our pass plays from scrimage!!
Morrow rushed 10 times for 37 yards. He was stuffed one time for a 3 yard loss. 40 yards on 9 carries = 4.44 yds/ carryOriginally posted by dgibbons:

You're bad at reading.Originally posted by spongebob11:
That's funny because I was using your figure of 3.5 ypc which you subsequently deleted. Too funny.
I suggest that you re-read this thread.Originally posted by spongebob11:
No, you're bad at lying and covering your tracks.
