Hi beelzebub!CoogieDelight said:Come on tequilla we all know you are biggest apologist on this board but you cant watch last years game and this years game and think all is right in Huskyville. Im sure you made a mint betting the spread here. Secondary looks decent but that Line play onboth sides left a lot to be desired.

This. This. Fucking this. Like most wimps (Willingham comes to mind), pussy coaches see a running play for a short gain and immediately call for a pass, instead of having confidence that a missed block will be made on the next play. When something doesn't work right, Smiff switches to an even more complicated play, hoping to deceive defenses, whom lick their chops and laugh, knowing his pass-first preferences and tendencies. First drive of the game was classic Smiff. With two All-American quality RBs on his offense. Fuck that fucking loser. If we lose any games at all this year, it will be his fault.Mad_Son said:
The thing that bothers me is how we used Gaskin. Our first series should have featured him as our number one running back. The point of these games is practice for conference play and we need to simulate some real play. Having Gaskin run the ball late isn't the same. I suspect this concept bothers some people even if they haven't said it.Tequilla said:
The thing is that the reason you look at it over a larger sample size is because things tend to even out ...Mad_Son said:like I've said multiple times that this was the same as last year (especially about the ol) but I'm not sure stats dump is the way to prove that. 99% of people already understand this and the 1% who don't aren't going to be swayed by a post like this
I don't necessarily disagree that we should have higher expectations, etc., but the reality is that this game, and our next two games, will all be vanilla in spots and our priorities aren't to go boat race each of these overmatched teams.
If that's the standard that most have then they will be bound to be disappointed.
Like we all recognize we haven't opened up the full playbook, etc and I don't think most people have am issue with that. The real issue to me is how Jonathan Smith calls really stupid things, not that in week 1 we aren't executing perfectly.

It's Game #1 of the year ... check back with me in a couple of weeksCoogieDelight said:Come on tequilla we all know you are biggest apologist on this board but you cant watch last years game and this years game and think all is right in Huskyville.

How have those 1st games gone for the Cougs during the Leach era? I'm thinking there's been a bit of growth from Week 1 through the rest of the season -
I'm really glad this thread is still going not.

Solid Doogman take.Tequilla said:2017 Offensive Game Stats:
24 carries for 84 yards = 3.5 yards per carry
17 of 30 for 284 yards = 9.5 yards per attempt and 16.7 yards per completion
54 total offensive plays for 368 yards = 6.8 yards per offensive play
30 total points (7 from special teams) = 8.2 points per 100 yards of offense
0 turnovers
2016 Offensive Game Stats:
30 carries for 91 yards = 3.0 yards per carry
20 of 29 for 289 yards = 10.0 yards per attempt and 14.5 yards per completion
59 offensive plays for 380 yards = 6.4 yards per offensive play
48 total points (14 from special teams) = 12.6 points per 100 yards of offense
1 turnover
2017 Defensive Game Stats:
42 carries for 131 yards = 3.1 yards per carry
24 for 35 for 178 yards = 5.1 yards per attempt and 7.4 yards per completion
77 defensive plays for 309 yards = 4.0 yards per defensive play
14 total points allowed = 4.5 yards per 100 yards allowed
2 turnovers = 1 turnover for every 38.5 defensive plays
2016 Defensive Game Stats:
48 carries for 136 yards = 2.8 yards per carry
24 of 40 for 168 yards = 4.2 yards per attempt and 7.0 yards per completion
88 defensive plays for 304 yards = 3.5 yards per defensive play
13 total points allowed = 4.3 yards per 100 yards allowed
3 turnovers = 1 turnover for every 29 defensive plays
They are basically the same game and the same stats ... Rutgers is a little better than they were last year ... one was at home and one was on the road.
Perspective is obviously hard ...

The real perspective is that we came out and played like shit. It was 10-7 at half. We didn't score a TD in the first half. In the second half we played better and won rather easily.
I'm not panicked, but the game was nothing like last year's where we had the plunger out in the first quarter. -
I know your being sarcastic, but overreacting is actually very easy.

It was what happens when an over-confident Husky team meets a much improved team than last year's Rutgers D3 squad. It was disappointing, but really not that surprising.RoadDawg55 said:The real perspective is that we came out and played like shit. It was 10-7 at half. We didn't score a TD in the first half.
