[random soul]

Special teams disaster tonight.

 

[chipdouglas]

Wow. Eye-popping performance from Hilinski other than the pick. 14 pts for the kid while Luke watches from the sideline.

 

[fingerdisco]

my hilinski boner is back

It’s Helsinki damnit!

 

[froropmkr72]

Despite that interception it was the holding call that killed a great run and put the Cougs in 3rd and long.
Falk might not have been intercepted but he would have checked down for a 5 yard gain and be short by 10 yards.
Hlinski at least went for it - tried to get the 1st down.

Total growth of Leach as coach...keeping Tyler in there.

 

[BiggsCoug]

Bingo. Might be some growing pains but Falk ain't gonna win another game this year anyways the way he's playing.

He should be eating this league alive. He's not. At what point do you pull the trigger and move on?

Im hoping that this isn't Gary Rogers 2.0. Backup comes in, scores a TD, starter goes back in and that's the end of the hot hand.

 

[chipdouglas]

my hilinski boner is back

My Erik Powell boner never began. This kid is hot and cold to say the least.

 

[Coug90]

High school recievers would be schooling these Arizonas DBs. Their defense is garbage. How we couldn't do anything against them is unexplainable.

That's kickers in general. It's 90% between the ears.

 

[brettcraycraft51]

turnovers turnovers turnovers turnovers!!!!

 

[random soul]

Zona just got boned on that missed PI call

 

[chipdouglas]

NO WAY Jahad Woods

 

[jarvis1981]

Targeting ???


Yes that was a bad non call (PI) in the Cougs favor.
How many times have the Cougs been burned in the past.
Sorry Zona....Cougs deserve a break

 

[random soul]

Tyler you keep doing that your brain is gonna be mush

 

[kougkurt]

Yup

 

[chipdouglas]

Hilinski just took a SHOT. Kid is a champion

 

[brettcraycraft51]

targeting. hit him w/ the crown of his helme.

 

[Coug90]

TD Cougs
You have to stick with Hlinski the rest of this game. He deserves it.
Falk will start next week at home.

extra point missed

UA 23 - Cougs 20

Why? What has Falk done to deserve to start the next game? He's been garbage since the Oregon game.

 

[Suudy]

Hilinski just took a SHOT. Kid is a champion

And he popped right up The AZ defender was slow to get up

 

[brettcraycraft51]

i like how the announcer just made an opinon based analysis of targeting as if there isn't a rule w/ guidelines in place.

 

[Coug90]

Why the F is wicks not in. Put in your battering ram Leach!!

 

[fingerdisco]

Why? What has Falk done to deserve to start the next game? He's been garbage since the Oregon game.

The energy of the team with Helsinki is night and day over Falk

 

[Suudy]

targeting. hit him w/ the crown of his helme.

Unavoidable contact He wasn’t aiming for him

 

[chipdouglas]

So, can we now conclusively say that Luke was not simply a victim of his circumstances (receiver drops, weather, bad routes, etc.) - but that he was a part of the problem, if not the problem entirely?

Don't know who's on the mic tonight but some real dumb commentary coming at us.

Right

 

[Coug90]

Give me more Tyler Hilinski please. Hilinski boner confirmed

 

[brettcraycraft51]

hilinski just wants more rushing yards/tds than tate. hahahahaha!

 

[chipdouglas]

Cmon guys, refs gave you a free one here and you've got 4 chances from the 1. Can we punch this in?

Yes. Some of us can accept that and I think others are slowly being convinced right now.

 

[random soul]

Hilinsky has earned the right to finish this game and compete for the starting job, no matter what happens the rest of the night.

 

[chipdouglas]

HOLY BALLS

HELFINSKY WITH 3 TDS IN ABOUT 1 QUARTER

COUGS LEAD 27-23

 

[random soul]

Yes. Some of us can accept that and I think others are slowly being convinced right now.

I don't think anybody said he wasn't at least part of the problem. Anybody saying that would've been ridden off the board

 

[brettcraycraft51]

weird to me that the one run was away from the all american monster.

 

[fingerdisco]

HOLY BALLS

HELFINSKY WITH 3 TDS IN ABOUT 1 QUARTER

COUGS LEAD 27-23

More like 7-8 minutes

 

[jarvis1981]

Not saying I don't agree with you. Tyler has looked good.
I just think CML will start Falk again.

In the meantime Cougs take the lead on a great QB fun to the outside..
27-23 in the 3rd.
Still anybody's game.

 

[dgibbons]

Zona just got boned on that missed PI call

The refs owes us from the Oregon game back in 2014.

 

[Coug90]

Ugh. We need Dotson back. 37 way out of position on that run.

 

[chipdouglas]

We absolutely CANNOT stop giving our opponents outstanding field position. Unreal. And there goes an absolute monster run. Explosive plays...

And Cats retake the lead. In a bizarre turn of events this year, MAJOR letdown there in which the ST and defense let down the offense

 

[702coug]

Getting whiplash from the momentum swings.
