Being so uncompetitive in the Peach and Rose Bowls against teams that ended up being filled with a lot of busts and JAG at best guys in the league? Also, considering how well some of the Huskies on those teams have panned out.

I'm not saying they should have won either necessarily, especially since Saban/Urban>Pete, but the fact they didn't look like they belonged on the same field as those teams for five quarters of those games should be more damning in hindsight.

I always give the Penn State game a minor pass because defending a crazy generational talent like Barkley was so hard and because I think they at least kind of made a game of that one.

    In the end, Jen still hires Lake and tanks the program and it’s the same as it ever was.

    He was going to lose close against Bama at best. His offensive scheme sucked too much and SC wrote the blue print.

    Penn St he should have won. He had Vea and Pettis and it was him alone that shit the bed too hard in the first quarter.

    Rose bowl should have been 50/50 or so but he went away from gaskin because he sucks ass on offense. Maybe he should have won that game.

    He went 0/3 and was a B+ coach at best in the conference. Fuck him

    Pettis was injured and basically didn’t play

    Pretty sure Vita was on an effective snap count as he had already decided to leave but wasn’t the bitch like most are and skip the game entirely

    We have had plenty JAG NFL players off those teams too. Not sure where all the pro studs are off those teams. There are really just two. Vita and Baker.

    There are a few more solid pros. And there are a few busts. We don’t have a single player that went on to be a true impact guy on offense from the 2016-2018 teams.

    I also think we harbor some resentment toward him because he always looked so fucking miserable being a coach while not coming close to winning a NY6

    It was the QB. You can blame Peterman for not upgrading that position for sure. But you need a QB to win those kind of games.

    Throughout Jake’s tenure, He enjoyed a defense that gave up 20 or less in most PAC 12 games.

    But that Defense wasn’t good enough to hold top 5 teams to that number. And Jake wasn’t up to matching them.

    I don’t know

    I’m probably way in the minority here but I remember growing up the entire goal is to win the Pac 10 and go to the Rose Bowl. To me still….everything else is gravy.

    It is crazy disappointing to play those upper echelon teams and at times look like we don’t belong. tOSU Rose Bowl was brutal.

    Penn State….didn’t “we” have the ball on last possession with a chance to win? Maybe I’m thinking of a different game
