    If it had been blocked correctly the sliver of space that Rogers might barely have slipped through is an avenue. Fish didn’t have to elaborate or rehash it though, that’s fucking stupid. He’s not wrong and that the play should have worked. He’s also right that if they’d made a tackle on the 31 yard run at the end of the half they are setting up for a short FG to win it. Pair those with the mind numbing penalties and they blew it on multiple levels Saturday, not just the last play. Beat NW by 3 scores and I’ll feel better. Lots to coach up and an attention getting loss should drive the players for quick improvement. If NW keeps it close this will be a long season and fish will have burned all the gravitas I’ve given him for his Arizona tenure.

    I think what people are pissed about is it looks like a dumb play on its face because it's designed to "fool" the defense and get the option guy to think it's going to Coleman and back off enough to allow the quarterback to just cut up where you have 1:1 blocking everywhere.

    So it's not that it was a good play call, it just looked that much worse because there was a completely unblocked guy where the QB is supposed to just get upfield.

    Personally, I thought that the 2nd down play where Boston is supposed to be "an NFL guy" and couldn't complete it was the game. McMillan makes that catch and has against Texas in the Alamo. As someone else said, Giles probably makes it and he's the deserving best receiver on the team right now.

    In the moment I thought WSU blew the play up and it was dead instantly. And that was kind of supposed to be the "better" side of the OL.

    Could be reading too much but Rogers also moves like me when I'm in a meeting and someone is telling me excruciatingly stupid shit I'm gonna have to do or ideas.

    It was a shit play call for a multitude of reasons that have already been described.

    Vihmahi did a terrible job but Titialii is who really fucked the dog on that play. Titialii got pushed back at the snap which allowed the defensive lineman to force him further down the line than he should have and then into Vihmahi…who was busy trying to fuck this up all on his own anyway.

    Latu, who has 7 inches and 15 pounds on the LB he was supposed to block, allowed an edge to be set and the short side of the field.

    TLDR; Stupid fucking play call with terrible execution.

    I'm shocked the center who wasn't even a stud at Portland State last year isn't a very good center. How were they not able to go to a low level P5 program or any G5 program and recruit a center in the fucking portal?
