At least Elise brought up the clock issue when DJ didn’t get off the field. Husky booth duo was too busy talking about stupid stuff. That was HUGE. Still pisses me off that they couldn’t get him off the fucking field.
For everything that DeBoer did great, closing out close games was not one of them. Can't turn the end of that game into more of a cluster fuck if you tried, and somehow they still won.
Its just not the same without Rondeau...
to be fair that’s one of the dumbest rules that’s ever existed
Can't argue with 25-3 but holy shit can't imagine a regime that struggled to close out games more and not make it stressful. Insane they never lost one of these games or a game this way.
2022
Michigan State - Totally dominate game (up 39-14 with 9 minutes left) yet MSU has the ball at midfield down only by 11 with 3 minutes left
Arizona - Up by 18 in the fourth, lead cut to 3 late with half the stadium watching the Mariners.
Cal - Up 28-14 in the 4th against a hapless Cal team. Get two chances to ice the game and can't. Cal is in UW territory before running out of downs at the end down 7.
Oregon - Needed just one first down to basically run the clock out after the slip and can't. Give Oregon the ball back with plenty of time. Force a 4th and 14 and can't get out of it.
Alamo Bowl - Control the game. Up 17 with 13 left in the 4th. Texas gets the ball back with a chance to tie at the end.
2023
Oregon - Not exactly the same as all these but up 11 in the 3rd with the ball. Shoutout for forcing third downs and run clock on the final drive, but still allow a 40 yard field goal attempt for the tie.
ASU - Game should have been over at the pick six, but can't get the two-point conversion then can't punch it in after forcing a three and out. ASU ends up with the ball midfield still a chance to tie.
Stanford - Up by nine with ball in red zone and fumble. Up by 2 with ball in red zone and interception in the 4th. They at least punched in a late TD to seal this one.
Utah - Dude is two yards away from walking into a 12-point lead late in the 3rd. You know what happens. No points when they get the ball after the safety. Blocked field goal late gives Utah a shot.
Oregon State - Pick in Oregon State territory up 12 in the 3rd. Score zero points and keep the Beav in it all the way.
Coug - Complete clusterfuck of a game. The leaping penalty gives a terrible swing late.
Oregon II - Up 20-3 yet fall behind eventually. Give up a one-play TD late when even forcing Oregon to run just a little clock on their way to TD damn near puts the game out of reach.
I remember those
The 2022 Oregon game play call after the slip, they threw the ball on first, incomplete. Which then led them to throw on 2nd. You have to run on first down there.
kind of sums up the whole season, but, winners win.
I'd also say in a lot of these games they had chances before the 4th to take two-possession leads or plunder and break a teams will and they just never could.
Credit where credit is due to Oregon for getting a three and out there. Holy shit you have to get at least one first there. They were running for 5 a carry so there was no reason to not run on first down there.
If the future OC for Hawks runs it on 3rd next to last series b4 fg and makes Texas call last time out, then after we recovered onside kick it's 3 knees see you in Houston.
Chip Kelly was UW OC?
How could you leave off the Sugar Bowl? That might be the worst one of all.
Well given the original subject I figured that was given. I hadn't watched that since I watched this yesterday and holy shit I don't know how I survived that and don't want to know what would have happened had they lost. I mean you can't predict Johnson getting hurt and that shit but it's interesting if Texas onside kicking and not kicking deep cost them the game.
Forgot they quickly got Texas into 3rd and 10 when Muhammad gives up the jump ball to Texas Lenny Kravitz. Great job being so tiny you can't break that up or just take the flag man. Then he gets hurt the next play and basically gives Texas a free timeout.
Cool to see Jacob Lane getting pressure on that drive though and is that fucking Jayvon Parker on 4th down affecting Ewers to make him throw it and off balance? Maybe we do have hope for the future.
That's 13-0 in what I would call 50-50 type games. Law of averages and even elite coaches would top out at going 75% in those games I would think. If Kalen reverts even back to just that, 13-2 at Bama and a quarter/semi-final loss in playoffs gets him fired in 4 years there.
DeBoer won’t last four years at Bama. Replacing legends is a tough business.
Big Penix Energy ain't walking through that door.
HB my friend, I'm not a big gambler, but I'll bet you $50 that he lasts four years. Meaning he makes it to his spring camp of his fifth year. And if he takes an NFL job the bet is null and void.
50 Sven bucks?
He's certainly up for a challenge and Penix being better than he even thought he was gonna be I'm sure and the WRs he inherited were great but the whole assuming DeBoer is gonna crash and burn thing there is bitter. The competition is stiffer in the SEC but he certainly inherits a lot at Bama and he was getting the most out of just about every player on the roster the past two seasons. Having to completely change all of his assistants will be interesting though.
