Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

ASU-UCLA Game Thread?

I love watching both these teams. Myles Jack in incredible. He just trucked a dude and had a 30 yard run. At a minimum, this guy will be a finalist for the Heisman in the next two years. ASU is legit though, and I think they win this game. UCLA's defense will get shredded by them.

    I agree AZDuck. The more I watch, the more I think he is potentially a great coach. I love Mora too, and it's tough to argue with how Mora is recruiting, but as far as x's and o's, on field coaching, I think Graham is better. His commitment to fast, physical, disciplined football really gets my dick hard.

    Not sure, but because their OL is not great, they are similar to UW. Hundley tears it up against the shitty teams, but when they face good teams he struggles, just like UW. I think the OL has a lot to do with it.

    I wonder how many of these Mora motherfuckers are going to jump ship after this loss

    For being a defensive minded coach Mora's defense fucking blows.

    Been saying that all year. I want him because of his recruiting, the passion he would bring, and the toughness. If he was our coach, I would want him to just be the head coach. Even in the NFL, his defenses were for the most part below average. Leave the defense to someone with a better track record.

    Eh, he misses some really easy throws even when he has time. He actually is starting to remind me of Locker. Everything looks great but it never really materializes.

    Mora's defense is like watching the UW basketball defense right now.

    Is Chris Massey playing in UCLA's secondary? That was really fucking bad. Get out the plungers. UCLA is not stopping ASU.

    Starting to waver on Mora a bit. He has wasn't exactly left with a bare cupboard either like Sark. Next year will be very telling for him, 11 wins minimum.

    If we are going to give Sark shit about getting plungered by ASU then we need to be consistent with Mora getting Plungered at HOME to ASU.

    Their defense is really really fucking awful even with 2 top 10 linebackers and some pretty good talent.

    Year one has to be better than the guy you replaced ... check.

    Year two has to be better than year one ... check.

    Year three, break out year ... or door. ass. out.

    If it was feasible, I would love to hire Mora and retain Wilcox. Let Mora bring the toughness Sark lacks. I think Wilcox can become a great DC with the right head coach. The reason I am not sold on Mora is he is about as good at coaching defense as Sark is at coaching offense.

    UW could do a lot better than Mora. Recruiting linemen and defensive players is great and all but no fucking point is it doesn't translate onto the field.

    Mora just let ASU score a touchdown with like 40 seconds left in the half with only 1 timeout. Christ!

    Sark is in year 5. Mora has a lot left to prove but let's not pretend for one second that their current situations are comparable. Sark built it, Mora is building.

    Next year is the big year for Mora.

    I'm not as down as Mora as you, and I think he could be a great coach. He needs to give up his defensive scheme though. There is more than enough proof that this guy sucks as a DC. I know some position coach from the NFL is their DC, but we all know Mora is in charge of that defense. If Mora insisted on his schemes and coaches form UCLA to come with him, I would agree with you about hiring someone else. If I were AD, I would insist on hiring a good DC with proven results.

    To be fair, year two could still easily end up the same as year one.

    It's looking like an 8-4 regular season for Mora. The way USC is playing, I doubt they win that game. A bowl loss and it's an even worse season.

    I'm not as sold on Mora as some people on this board seem to be, he's far from infallible. That said, he's clearly better than Sark. At this point if I were putting "expected wins" on a coach I'd say Sark is a 7 win coach, Mora is a 9.5-win coach.

    If UCLA goes 8-4 they won't lose their who cares bowl game. They will play someone shitty like UW will and probably win. Next year is the year. if Mora goes 8-5/9-4 next year then I think he will be labeled as a "decent" coach just not an elite one. Still better than mediocre Steve obviously.

    That UW-UCLA wasn't a dominant performance by any means against Sark who sucks ass on the road.

    I'm guessing that's a woosh because it's about the equivalent of saying let's wait and see UW play Oregon State before saying anything definitive about Sark.
