    Gosh it's almost like the passing was addressed and isn't the problem

    The cult of Huff is bizarre

    Ignore getting stuffed 3 times and being unable to run the clock but go on

    When it costs games don't cry to me



    I saw a lot of role outs and moving the pocket to help the o-line not give up sacks.

    I was pretty drunk though trying to deal with the fear of inevitably blowing the lead.

    Goal line running isn't creative and we're probably using the wrong rb's for it.

    As I was texting to somebody during the game, if we can't run straight ahead (and we knew we couldn't against good defenses after the Kent State game), why play into the opponent's hands by lining up in the goal line offense? Why not spread things out at the goal line? Don't paint yourself into a corner.
    Exactly. I don't know what they're seeing on film.

    Or I think it was Greg Lewis suggesting at least trying wildcat with Newton/Taulapapa. It's a better idea than sneaking it with Penix.

    The first time was an attempt to prove how tuff they were with 4 runs. Didn't mind

    However after proving they still can't get a yard the next two goal line failures were bad

    If you need to run your all out deep passing attack to burn clock you might have a problem

    But no sacks

    3-0.

    The run game needs improvement. I don't see the fuckups and vulnerability on delayed blitzes.

    #1 offense so far. No sacks, no pressures. Progress with an unblemished record. Michigan State has some dudes on their interior. Opponents down 3 td's expect run.

    Would have liked to see Dick Newton on the goal line. Talapapa is a JAG. LIPO...i know it's hard

    The second touchdown was a 1 yard run by Davis

    Improvement is needed but I also feel like it's coming but for one thing...a quality RB ain't walking through that door. These guys leave a lot of yards out there. Talapapa left two touchdowns out there that Davis, I think, would've punched in. He is a good receiver but horrible ball carrier. I think he may.be the worst I've seen at UW since the Ty days. He has no burst, no top end, and no power. His cuts aren't sharp. I don't see a legit FBS ball carrier there at all.

    Not that Davis is good. It takes him forever to get upfield and he gets tripped by anyone within 10' of him when he does turn up.

    I'm not a fan, and he has his own issuea unless they're gone now but I'm ready to see Dick Newt.

    Is Javeon Sunday still there? What about him? Sam Adams?
