***WSU @ Zona - Game Thread***

[Coug90]

Can this announcer STFU? He might as well say I hate wazzu!

 

[chipdouglas]

How much are they paying these stooges in the booth?

 

[chipdouglas]

Tyler, you have a run game bud. USE IT.

 

[Coug90]

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

Yeah Dotson stuffs that in the hole though. Not sure WTF Rogers was doing.

 

[Coug90]

Tyler, you have a run game bud. USE IT.

Yup. Been a while. Course we had a holding on a run so that means 37 straight passes in a row

 

[random soul]

DOH, bad pick Tyler, but that's one he can learn from.

 

[chipdouglas]

Through almost 3 quarters:

• UA avg starting position: 37 yard line
• WSU avg (defensive turnovers): 34
• WSU avg (no turnovers) 23

 

[chipdouglas]

Oh boy. Tyler cannot stop throwing interceptions. Connor Halliday 2.0. Throwing in motion across his body. And the booth is OVERJOYED

 

[random soul]

Welp, so much for my theory about the defense huh?

 

[jarvis1981]

What a huge turnaround,
Cougs 1st and goal and then a bad decision by Tyler.
UA with a long run for a TD

Tyler is going through a learning curve this game but it might be worth it in the long run.

UA 37- Cougs 27
Three minutes left in the 3rd.
But this is not over yet.

 

[Coug90]

Yeah learning on the fly. Trying to do too much. Still take his play over the pansie ass crap Falk has been giving.

 

[Suudy]

Now we can’t kick it

Oh boy. Tyler cannot stop throwing interceptions. Connor Halliday 2.0. Throwing in motion across his body. And the booth is OVERJOYED

yep Herron’s been in the AZ camp all night

 

[chipdouglas]

Honestly, WHAT YEAR IS IT that we have given up 250+ yards rushing before the 4th quarter?!

I love #25

 

[random soul]

MORROW IS A BEAST

 

[Coug90]

Why can't we have something between Connor Halliday and Luke Falk. Tyler looks way better throwing but won't check to a run and takes too many chances ala Halliday.

 

[Coug90]

What years did CPW coach? There's your answer.

Part of it is the structure of the offense. If Leach is calling a pass, and you’re Hilinski, are are you to check out of it?

 

[Suudy]

I thought Leach only calls formations?

 

[kougkurt]

Yup. And he is going on 1 the whole time

 

[jarvis1981]

Tyler showing some inexperience.
A fumble there at the end of the quarter.
Too bad because he has shown a good arm and mobility.

A few runs might help out but others have already called out for this.

 

[Suudy]

3rd and 15 and a throw to the flat?!?!

 

[chipdouglas]

Through 3 quarters, UA has 8 explosive plays:

• 43-yard pass
• 48-yard pass
• 41-yard pass
• 82-yard run
• 45-yard kick return
• 33-yard kick return
• 62-yard run
• 79-yard run

We have:

• 21-yard pass
• 22-yard pass
• 24-yard pass
• 30-yard pass

Totally, totally insane to think that we've given up 430+ yards on 8 plays.

 

[jarvis1981]

56 yard FG for Powell

37-30 UA

Defense....time for a stop but their offense is dynamic.

 

[chipdouglas]

Just punt the ball for cripes sake - 56?

 

[brettcraycraft51]

powell bails out leach. no f***king excuse for not getting the kicking team out there in time. no excuse. total bullshit.

WOW

Yeah I know that. But it's been pass like 20 straight. And we have good backs. And AZs run defense sucks.

 

[fingerdisco]

I’d like to put hot pepper spray on the toilet paper of whoever does that f’ing siren in their stadium

 

[Coug90]

Yeah we are back to typical Leach bonehead clock management tonight

 

[brettcraycraft51]

that kid is playing a different game out there. sweet jesus.

 

[chipdouglas]

Arizona tonight has 8 plays of 40+ yards with a quarter left

 

[chipdouglas]

This game must be fun to watch - if you live in Tucson

 

[brettcraycraft51]

random observation: how is it possible there are so many empty seats for this game? they couldn't sell this one out?

 

[chipdouglas]

Please FIRE these guys on the mics tonight, especially this self-proclaimed "defensive guy" stooge.

 

[azgreg]

random observation: how is it possible there are so many empty seats for this game? they couldn't sell this one out?

Our attendance has been awful all year.

 

[Coug90]

Wtf else is there to do in Tucson? That doesn't involve going to Mexico

 

[random soul]

Welp, that's the game. Arizona's the better team

 

[Coug90]

Rich rod can STFU about that PI in the first half. Two PIs in a row on AZ not called leads to game over.

 

[chipdouglas]

Welp, that's the game. Arizona's the better team

Indeed. It's too bad. Hilinski is a real gunslinger, which makes the offense less "constipated," but literally never checks into a run and throws way too many inadvisable cross-body throws etc. Falk is what it looks like when you try to be mistake-free, but realize that just means 3-and-outs on every drive.
