I only watched about 30% of the game. It was already 21-0 when I tuned in and I knew it was over. I did some errands that ran way past halftime and since the SIO, I barely gave a fuck anyway..cool story Bill...
Generally...you're going to run a lot when you're ahead about 17 touchdowns...to run out the clock and avoid injuries. I get the complaint is, "Why didn't he run more in earlier games?" I totally agree. He should have. Maybe Peterman should have run Cooper or whoever is third string more in this game. I don't know if Washington played or not.
This board likes to complain about 52-7 wins though. It's what it does... -
The complaint is not about a 52-7 win. It's about under-utilizing Gaskin throughout the whole season. HTHFire_Marshall_Bill said:I only watched about 30% of the game.

I hope this wasn't serious.Meek said:I didn't go through the game thread as I watched the game late last night on my DVR, but I was baffled by the number of times Gaskin would run for 8 on first down and then we'd throw a bubble for -3 or take a sack on 2nd and set up all those 3rd and 4+ downs... baffling. run the fucking ball smith!
On first down, Gaskin ran for 6, 7, 8, 9, 3, 3, 5, 4, 2, 1.
So he ran for 8 or more yards on 1st down 2 times. I guess some people are easily baffled.

We ran 45 offensive plays in the first half. Gaskin ran on 19 of those plays. Seems reasonable. In the 2nd half, Gaskin ran the ball 4 times, and was pulled with more than 10 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter. Again, seems reasonable.
This is bitching for the sake of bitching. But what's new. -
Exactly. It's getting harder and harder to take this place seriously.HuskyInAZ said:We ran 45 offensive plays in the first half. Gaskin ran on 19 of those plays. Seems reasonable.

Right. That's why I wrote, "i get the complaint is about..." I could have worded it better, but it's a stupid fucking message board so who cares?PurpleBaze said:

It still seems like nitpicking in the context of a 45 point win. People were also bitching that this win meant Smith would be back next year in the game thread. Look, I wasn't thrilled with the win either, since it doesn't mean a ton, but my first thought wasn't, "GOD DAMNIT, WE PUT THE GAME AWAY BY 11 MINUTES TO GO IN THE 2ND FUCKING QUARTER. THIS MEANS SMITH WILL BE BACK!!! AHHHHHH!!! MOM, WHERE THE HELL ARE MY CHEETOS AND YOHOO?!!!?" -
This definitely did not deserve its own thread. Some of these threads are as dumb as the ones on Dawgman like "Why does Jake Browning clap his hands?"
I feel dumber just for reading this thread. Fuck. -
It did. Someone in the game thread bitched that posters were complaining when up 17-0 against ASU. The ones bitching ended up being right. It's a bigger picture thing. You can disagree. I think it's more likely you miss the point and are fixated over a 52-7 win over a hapless team.Fecal_Matter said:This definitely did not deserve its own thread.

Nobody except you and HuskyAZ gives a shit about plungering Oregon State. They suck. There is a reason they haven't won a PAC 12 game. -
I lurked for a few days. I know, nobody noticed or cared, but this place isn't what it was when it started to get going. I've gone into it before, no need to beat a dead horse.Fecal_Matter said:

Roaddawg's a good poster though. I just don't agree with him on certain things. -
As predicted a big win over the worst team in America and the doogs are back baby!
Just pretend this isn't a carbon copy of Sark.
