Letter grade for the game

Fire_Marshall_Bill

I didn't see the game until almost noon (thanks Larry Scott, hypen name, and Cox), so it was already 24-0 when I tuned in. Honestly, they looked like the same old seven or eight win Huskies, but it's hard to judge when the game is pretty much out out of hand.

nothing gained, nothing lost... nothing to be taken from this scrimmage.

Shouldn't have included Reno and forced people to pick a grade. Downvote. This forum for all its strengths has lots of dumb, useless cliches like that.

Comparing stats only for the first half (when it was starters vs starters), it was pretty much domination. Downgraded to B for lack of strong rushing game, but Rutgers did stack the box almost every time.

I would have picked F as in Fuck Scrimmages.

Yeah, but the JR people would have just picked f anyway.

I'd go with b too.

Gave it a B because of what I read about it. I started watching in the third quarter and we were already playing our JV squad. Also, the little bit I saw our OL sucked, for the 15th year in a row.

My favorite part of the game is that our OL actually looks like an OL for the first time in forever. Eye test.

Too bad they kind of sucked but at least they are juicing again

We had some explosive plays. Couldn't run the ball. Brownsocks threw a few good deep balls. Couldn't run the ball. Our offensive line sucked. Couldn't run the ball. And our defense gave up too many points.

For the first time in history, my friend @TierbsHsotBoobs and I agree. It was a scrimmage. Nothing more.

Jake can throw. He can scramble and throw too. He had a couple of dandies (we say that in Lewis County) on the runs. I said that on my poddings. @DerekJohnson didn't believe me. He'll take a big step forward this year. He'll play on Sundays if only as a backup.

Our defense is good. We knew that.

The coaches took the opportunity to give minutes to replacements. can't evaluate that.

I stand behind my doogish predictions because I saw NOTHING yesterday that would dissuade me from that.

If we had a close game yesterday, I'd be in Hillsboro bleaughing someone.

They couldn't run the ball. Sign of a weak offense.

D looked pretty good but might be undisciplined. Hard to say.... Rutgers sucks

If we improve enough by Zona to W, we'll most likely get to 10. If we keep improving, maybe more.

If we don't improve a good chunk by Zona, we'll flub it away there and hit like 8-4/7-5.

To refute my earlier statement (and to apologize to @TierbsHsotBoobs slightly) the one thing I was expecting to see was Gaskin gashing them for 12 yds at a time effortlessly. That didn't happen. Agree its a concern.

Yes, @Tequilla was right, I watched it again. 8 in the box at a minimum. They set up to stop Gaskin. So we beat them over the top.

That's not a bad thing strategically. Show the rest of the fuckers that Brownsocks has an arm so play us straight up. I think a lot of you assclowns miss the strategic thinking in scrimmages.

BUT, as a man, who I hope, has some integrity, I will say, even with 8 in the box, we should run over people. (It didn't work for Stanford in the 2nd half...holla!) But we should have been better on the run. @PurpleJ et al are correct.

Overall. My boy Jake can hit the deep and scramble and throw as I predicted. Don't judge anything on the rest of the game. My boy Pete, strategic thinker that he is, took the opportunity to scrimmage. We gained more value in putting in 75th stringers than we would have by winning 105-3.

Oh, and btw, Don James talked about 3 phases. Our special teams, to quote a skinny jean wearing midget are "special". And its not just fast dudes. That's coaching.

So to quote Charlie Brown, "Be of Good cheer!"

And @TierbsHsotBoobs is mostly right.

I Tequillaed myself. I apologize.

Pre-season games are Pass/Fail or Credit/No Credit. We passed the Rutgers game but that is all.
