So I got to thinking about this over the weekend and how this offense get some calling it boring while I think it was fantastic.

Do you think last year’s Stanford game was the tipping point for Jimmy lake? They had absolutely no business winning that game and yet ROTA all over UW with guys they just pulled out of a chem lab to try and block. Jimmy had no answers. Block forward/run forward....let’s see if you can stop it.

    Yes I think Lake is making the classic mistake of "what is hardest for me to defend against = what kind of offense we need" when what he doesn't realize is that he's not building an offense to beat his defense, he's building an offense to beat Pac12 defenses and Pac12 defenses aren't near as good as defending the pass as his defense.

    TL;DR: *Gurgle*

    THIS.

    I think for the first game 1) of the year that's been delayed 3 times 2) of Jimmy's hc career 3) game for the qb, they just wanted a win without weird cal storm stuff happening.

    Jimmy is a little smarter then you idiots. They aren't rolling out a power run scheme every week. He hates offenses that target his defenses weakness. The offense is going to attack each teams weakness.

    Complete opposite of Petersen's "who cares who we play, we are just going to do what we do best."

    This

    While it is possible to be worse than Peterson I don't see it happening

    By the time Pete let I was so over him it wasn't funny

    And by the way the TSIO guys have some explaining to do as well. Blue chips my ass

    Get me football players who make football plays. Not 7 on 7 all stars
    Osbourne and Spiker are the two best WR’s on the West. Ty Jones will be incredible. You’re gonna miss some when all you really have is a 5 min Hudl of these kids, but their WR evals were terrible.
    Its a crap shoot. Ngta and Gee Jr may never do anything at Clemson and tOSU either

    Every year there is a fresh crop of 6 foot 4 guys that run a 4.4.
    Agreed. Its not a video game. They are all young people who need to make choices every day to get better and sometimes they dont. Or they have a talent ceiling. So many things can happen its not like you hit the "coach them up" button and they get magically better.

    1) the coaches think they're smarter than everyone else (like Shaw) and want to go counter to what everyone is doing.

    2) they hate interceptions to the point of not wanting to pass unless they have to.

    There's some analytics going on here obviously. It's just tough to get through this conference playing that style and hoping your kicker can win you games at the end or the other team gives up a critical turnover and you don't.

    That played out last weekend where a block punt almost cost us a game. You can only mitigate the chaos so much.
