Hanging in San Diego for 10 days or so. Beer. Sun. Golf. A Cougs win

24-13
 
More wide receiver screens than points again: Furd 24, Cougs 19
 
It's really hard to pick WSU right now given our RB depth and our inability to protect Cam Ward. 2 weeks ago, I said we wouldn't lose to Stanford. I've since changed my mind.

WSU 17
Stanford 28
 
We will lambaste with trickery and tomfoolery.

To honor Ski School..."they can put that in their tree pipe and smoke it".

30-14 Wah-zoo... Wah-zoo
 
With Watson and Jenkins, this is a Coug win, unfortunately Watson is out and most likely Jenkins as well. Disappointment is what I see.
 
We're on the road and Shaw is still good enough a coach to outdo Morris.
  • Stanford's defense is not in the same category as Oregon State's or Utah's.
  • Stanford's OL doesn't protect their QB very well. There's only one team in the Pac-12 who has given up more sacks. Unfortunately, that's us.
  • Stanford's run defense is terrible. One of the worst in D-1. Of course, both of our RBs are hurt and we don't use them anyway, so this doesn't really matter.
  • Stanford's pass defense doesn't look too bad, yardage-wise, but it might just be because everyone can run on them. They only have 3 INTs on 228 attempts...so maybe they are bad. Doesn't matter...if they can get pressure on Ward, he'll throw it right to them.
  • Stanford is better at keeping their defense off the field. We are #125 in D-1 in time of possession.
My predictions:
  • We run more WR screens than they do.
  • Both QBs spend the game on the run.
  • We score 20 for the first time in a month
  • We lead at half
  • Ward runs a couple of design runs in the first half and gives us hope. Those runs disappear at halftime.
  • Unfortunately Stanford's QB has at least one working arm and a pulse, so he'll be able to work against our secondary.
  • Stanford scores 30 for the first time in 2 months.
  • We'll all be back here on Saturday afternoon prepping our effigies of Morris for burning.

In not our effigies, maybe the burning of an old worn out sweaty hat in a newly formed ritual of sacrifice to improve our offense! Even in the slightest
