In my opinion, I think the defense was a mixed bag that game. It could have been a hell of a lot worse if we weren't +2 on TOs. Two of those TOs were inside our own territory, one of them being in the redzone. We capitalized on only one of the three. It was also debatable whether or not McSorley got picked off inside our own 30-40 in the 3rd quarter. The TD afterwords stung.
500+ yards allowed looks bad, but a lot of those yards didn't lead to anything for PSU. I would blame our mediocre offense and dishing out zero pressure on McSorley. Considering half of McSorley's incompletions were 2 picks and a near pick it's hard to imagine what it would've been like if we had any pass-rush. I guess you could say "What if?" for any game, so it's kind of a moot point.
Edit: @bananasnblondes you beat me by 8 minutes. Sweet at succinct as usual, while I'm a fucking blowhard as is my typical self.
Chin for you, but I'm keeping my shit below haha.
Oh Ektard......
He starts off strong by saying he heard something new regarding Criddell. According to his sources, Jimmy Lake and Will Harris asked Criddell to hold off on committing this weekend and visit UW one more time before deciding.
He continues going the right way saying that people he's talking to think UW still wants Criddell (as they should) and that somehow the information he had last week about UW backing off could have been wrong.
Then he goes completely off the rails (IMO) by saying other people he talks to think UW is playing games with Oregon and making them work for Criddell even though he's theirs and UW isn't actually wanting him.
He tries to recover by saying he believes it's likely the first and his information could have been wrong, but in line with expectations he goes back to full retard and refuses to just own it:
"That being said, make no mistake, programs play games with each other all the time and an offer will go out to a kid to force one school's hand or they will make offers to kids and not recruit them to make those other coaches work harder. We'll have to wait and see."
A bit later he tries to defend this point by using Trey Davis, "Is this USC trying to force UW's hands so that they offer the local kid to get their attention away from some of the So Cal kids or do they really want him?"
Fucking shit. I'm so fucking glad I found this place. I knew before that DM reports always went back and forth, but I assumed it was the best I can get. Now my god damn eyes are opened, and I want to thank you all for your service.

4.8 40 DBs like Cridell can go elsewhere and suck up another school’s scholarship. Eugene Burkhalter might be the exception but that’s 30 yrs ago.
Dollars sounds like a similar athlete. Fuck vision and football speed. Gaskin has/had both and ran a 4.6 in HS. 4.8 is 4.8.
Speed matters. Always has. Always will. Quinton Richardson, remember him? He looked the part and he ended up burnt fucking toast, starting corner for Owen tweleve
Give me the Titus Toler, three star kid grinder with measureables. While Cridell and his bruh are slamming down raw eggs, the three star can blow by Cridell and point back while he high steps into the end zone.
To put that in perspective, they would be almost 20 points lower than the lowest skill position player at the 2016 Opening (the only full list of results I could find). https://www.theopening.com/2016-to-finals-results It would put them as the 5th worst performers out of everyone, lumped down there with a bunch of QBs and OL.
Some previous recruits we have signed... Sean McGrew - 132.06 Salvon Ahmed - 127.5 Elijah Molden - 121.44 Hunter Bryant - 111.96
Never saw those, it further confirms why I don't like Sean Dollars.
Doesn't flash lateral quickness or vision to run between the tackles in his film, instead just tries to outrun people on the outside. If you're going to be a "speed" back, you better run faster than a 4.8 40 out of high school.
Criddell had good film though. That's a loss that actually hurts imo.
Criddell said himself he ran a laser 4.6 and he is sparq verified at 6’1” and that spreadsheet says 5’11” and 4.8.

I disagree with you, Eric.

TL:DR - @bananasnblondes did it better. Just read his.
Okay 1, 2, 3
wait...what?
Hey Crystal Ballz, put that cup of eggs down!
Eggs are for closers.
Fucking embarrassing
Our only hope is Will Harris and Jimmy Lake in a Rolls Royce, coffee cup in hand

FTGs

Huge Mellon's kid better get used to holding his nose in Eugene.
Not sarcasm either, I genuinely enjoy that it’s accepted these two are tied at the hip and what one says TBSers apply to the other.
Word comes out that Lake and Harris want Criddell to hold off committing and a few hours later Dollars announces it.
Edit: Figured he'd delete it
