Running a trick play in the 4th instead of playing power ball

Go back even more. The 2 point call was incorrect as if you kick it, you go up 20 and the only thing that beats you is 3 td's. Chico doesn't get in and SC in theory can tie it with 2 td's plus the 2 point conversions and a FG. Both highly unlikely but still.
Then go for the pooch kick right after (yes it almost worked) where if you don't, they get the ball on the 35. Hell if your afraid Horn can't kick it out of end zone, which he struggled with yesterday kick it out of bounds.
Both plays are fs as you give SC chance to break momentum we had going. Risk simply not worth the reward.
The play at the 50 with 10 minutes left up two scores is so incorrect based on the game situation it's comical except it's not. Simply Take three knees and punt, SC is going to have 8 minutes left to score 2 td's and have to go minimum 80 yards to do it. They way Whitford and Kyle Gordon were going it's probably 90.
If you somehow can get one first down, there's 6 minutes left. Two and it's over.
Sadly, between Pete's game clock issues and these bizzarro/cutesy play calls that started year 1 game 4 versus Stanford at home (anyone remember the 4th 19 fake punt to Shaq where Stanford is yelling fake fake fake) I am to the point of just building them into the outcome of close games and expect them from us.

I had forgotten this but thanks for bringing the pain back. Pete gets cutesy at the dumbest times. It's a habit at this point. Part of the DNA he's developed.

We often bring up the fact that UW can alpha dog the shit out of WSU but shrivel up against equal or better teams. This is yet another example. In the 2018 AC, UW took possession with 8+ minutes in the game and ran out the clock. Very similar situation yesterday and Pete & Hamdan think they need to be cute with the play calling instead of just running out the clock. If you want to "be aggressive", go play action to Hunter or Otton and then run out the clock.godawgst said:Go back even more.

Can't take the Boise State out of the coach.

Yep. Hell we all make mistakes but I was really looking for a mea kulpa There. At least then you know he learn from his mistake but now you have to wonder if he would do it again.Swaye said:
This. It's one thing to call some dumbshit play in the heat of the moment. It's more concerning to still think said dumbshit play was good after you fumblefucked it away and an hour later when rational football thought should have had time to process how fucking stupid it was.HuskyJW said:More disturbing was Hamdumb’s response on the post game show. He acted like it was a fantastic call and the Huskies will always “remain aggressive”
Hamdan is a dumbshit. Results are in. -
I didn’t mind the pooch kick.

These 2 things go together more than 81% of the time.Swaye said:

That's probably a better explanation than mine.Meek said:
I think that's the correct answer 50% of the time (red zone), but in this case I think Pete is at this weird place where he think he needs to prove to the pollsters (national media) he can pull away from teams at will by showing extra dimensions that (he thinks) nobody will suspect is coming. I could be wrong and it's all inferiority complex, but my thought is he's just trying to state that this team is not one or even two dimensional but that they are deep when they want to be... my thing is that gimmicks just aren't worth the risk when you're in the lead.DerekJohnson said:
That's really at the heart of it. Pete needs to look in the mirror and realize he's no longer having sand kicked in his face by the playground bully. Pete is now 6'5" 230 pounds and trained in Krav Maga -- but he doesn't seem to realize it.AEB said:Inferiority complex.
Just sayin! -
You know what would have been really fucking agressive?
A play action deep ball for a td
No noodle arm no more

the difference between the Chico shovel trick for 2 points vis-a-vis the double reverse fumble is that we continue to give Fuller too many opportunities for difficult plays and he can't handle most of them reliably.godawgst said:Go back even more.

Who were the guys that would always say "MyBush" ?
