Well, where to start with this one is the question. UCLA clearly has better talent, and Petey will need to find war daddy's in the trenches to compete moving forward.
Flat team to start. Miles may have hit the 3 footer around noon and was still a little high. Coaching staff may have been experiencing a contact high.
I am not a Miles fans, he has no consistency of any kind. Jsmith rotates 7 receivers, meaning Miles cannot develop any rhythm or rapport with any of the receivers. CAMPBELL is getting the most snaps of any receiver......INSANE.......Lenius makes a huge catch and then doesn't see the field for two quarters. When the coaching staff wants a 10 yard loss they just dial up a reverse to Mickens....Brilliant. Atoe, a future NFL left tackle, was atrocious yesterday.
Shaq is Shaq and plays with incredible intensity. Though all Cooper does is make plays then Washington comes in now. Washington did have a nice TD run. Cooper has earned more playing and doesn't get it.
The defense missed Shaq, which is no surprise. Bierra was a disaster last night, tackling was a disaster. Kikaha was an enormous loss for D, obviously. Feeney played a good game, about the only bright spot.
Pettis showed his two star abilities as the corner on the deep ball was with him stride for stride on that deep ball on the right side of the field toward open end of the stadium.
Can't understand why Smith goes away with what is working and THEN dials up just ABSURD plays to kill drives.
The hurry up offense was disgusting. NO urgency. It almost felt like it was a scrimmage as opposed to trying to win the game.
Refusing to not involve Ross on the offense is totally bizarre, though Ross, at the end of the game, just assumed the ball was too high and quit on the play.
I am at a loss with the sloppiness, pooch kicking (15 years now that a kicker can't put it in the end zone), and untimely penalties. Watching Miles come out after a kickoff and get a delay of game was one of the worst penalties we have probably ever seen.
Softy doubts they win a game the rest of the year. I say they beat OSU. Zona is a loss enough on that. Apple Cup? Falk throws for 550 yards and 6 TD's and Dawgs lose by 1.
Pete needs the extra practices, needs to connect with the team, and dig in the off season because next year could be impossible to watch if this shit continues.
For all the people thinking Browning will be a savior as a true freshman: you need to find a beach and take a walk with the wife for some perspective.

I am here to help.
There were a number of examples yesterday where in my opinion you saw a number of what I'd term as selfish plays. There's no doubt that dialing up the reverses in the red zone are ridiculous. However, at the same time, Mickens took what should have been a 3 to 4 yard loss and turned it into a drive killing 10 yard loss by dancing around and trying to go backwards and around everybody. It's a great example of the legacy that to me is magnified in watching some of the Sark players still on our roster and also looking at Sark's SC team. A well coached team is still going to make mistakes. But what they do a really good job of doing is not compounding their mistake. IMO, these are some of the biggest "attention to detail" situations that we have. Having a 3rd and 12 and sliding at 10 yards instead of sticking your nose up in there to try to get 12. In some areas, that's youth and inexperience. In other areas, it's just players being brain dead.
Atoe's not a future NFL left tackle, he's a future Top 5 pick in the draft. Enough said on that.
The hurry up offense with Miles is a brief glimpse into the reason why he's got absolutely no chance at being a QB at this level. Forget his abilities as a thrower or decision maker. The bottom line is that he consistently demonstrates a lack of command and leadership abilities at the position. The reason why QBs love 2 minutes drill situations is because they get the chance to make decisions on the fly often without coaching interference. Miles has not shown any indication of making clear and quick decisions. You see that when you get delay of game penalties because everybody is looking to Miles to call a play and he's clueless about what to call or how to audible out of a play into something else.
The pooch kicking had everything to do with not getting the ball in Adams' hands. That being said, there were opportunities for better execution there.
We will definitely get another win - our losses in conference are quite frankly to teams that have better talent than us that we're going to be significantly challenged on beating without QB play. We definitely need the practices because we have a lot of young guys that need to find ways to get better as well as a number of guys that have the opportunity to have some positional switches happen and practices for the bowl game will go a long way in helping to flux those changes out.
And when Lindquist and Williams started, it was much of the same. They all play scared and hesitant. All three of them. They took off to run at the wrong times and had poor pocket awareness. Does coaching not play a role in any of this? You may disagree, but the play calling and scheme has been terrible. It was actually better this week despite the fucktarded reverses in the red zone. Run the fucking ball. Mix it up with some QB runs. Play action. Call some shots down field. Play to his few strengths. Miles' delivery and indecisiveness fucks up the short passing game. The bubble screens have been a waste all season.
I would think after watching Boykin at TCU you would realize how important coaching is, especially in regards to QB play. I don't remember Miles playing so scared and indecisive coming last year when he came in at half time against UCLA. Same for his start at Oregon State. It hasn't gotten any better all season either. I don't get how you can continuously ignore the coaching.
It's a chicken or egg argument.
Does Cyler suck because of the OC' play calls or does the OC's gameplan suck because Cyler can't play.
Cyler sucks b/c he can't pass with anticipation and Petersen's offense requires the QB to pass with anticipation.
Smith sucks b/c they haven't realized this and they haven't developed a passing game around Cyler or Lindquist or Williams.
