Sad thing is...

LaZoris

The Dawgs have had recent teams with a good/above avg defense...

They have had teams with a mediocre offense, a average QB and a stud RB in the recent past...

They struggle year after year just to be bowl eligible with that formula...


Tell me how Utah (a ex-mid-major team) has the same type of team and is 8-1 and will be playing for a Pac 12 champ and could easily win the Pac 12 conference this yr...

Comes down to one thing...

Whittingham isn't a complete asshole.

Utah is starting 90% seniors and still isn't that great.

They will go back to sucking next year. Their system isn't great...kind of a Stanford 0.5

Petersen wants to be Utah. Said it himself.

he wants to be a mediocre football team that just lucked into a good season?
Catches Michigan at the perfect time, if Rudock plays like a FCS QB michigan wins that game
needs 5 goff interceptions to barely beat a mediocre cal team at home
gets 4 turnovers and 3 questionable calls to beat a bad UW team in a close game until the very end
struggles with the fucking beavs at home
that's a low bar to set, but it's hard after all

Utah is a pretty good team all things considered. I didn't see them pissing the ball away and giving up pick 6's and fumbles for TD's... In their home stadium no less...

As far as Seniors and experience.... I thought ASU brought back like 19 or 20 starters from last year? Think they were a sleeper pick to make the playoff according to the experts.

Rip on Shaw and 0.5 stanford - but minimal mistakes and solid play on both sides of the ball will get you good results.

If you don't believe me watch this years Pac12 Champ game.

Oh, and run the fucking ball...

Bingo. Utah is a nice team, who are upperclassman dominated, and don't beat themselves. Outside of Stanford, no one we've played has physically beat us where you walk out thinking we just aren't in their league yet.

you mean when stanford wins rather easily say? 38-6?

I meant the game when Stanford beat Sark 41-0 in Seattle when Harbaugh called out the most expensive coaching staff in the Pac 12.

"We obviously hit rock bottom tonight," Sarkisian said. "This was a very disappointing performance."

This speaks volumes although Petersen is a pussy who pumps up every one of our opponents. I hope that is what it is rather than him actually wanting to luck into a ten win season every few years.

What's fucking sad is looking across the board and seeing 20 rushes for gaskin and 93 yards, and 34 rushes for booker and 150 yards.



and 6 rushes and two fumbles for dwash
