New Fish / Why the mediocre rush defense through 7 games?
At any rate, here is my question for the football experts of the bored: Why is our rush defense so mediocre through 6 games (6th in Pac, 45th nationally) compared with our overall defense being solid in terms of scoring and passing. I get major anxiety watching us get gashed by some of these Pac 12 bottom feeders- e.g., Arizona, OSU in the 2nds half, etc. With as much talent as we have at d-line (at least before Mathis went down), linebacker, and secondary, why are we better at stopping the run? Is all Psalm’ fault? Is it scheme- e.g., we give up yards between the 20’s but not the big pass play? Is the sample pool just lousy and a lot of the rushing yards have come in the 2nd half against our 2’s and 3’s (excluding Arizona?).
My attention span is above average and would love to hear some good, long winded analysis. I suspect it will get covered on the TSIO Pod vis-à-vis Utah and will be sure to tune in…you can count me as listener number 9.

@Tequilla we have found your soulmate
But GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE anyway! -
Kim fishing for information he can use as premium content again?

I mean kudos for at least showing up with an avatar, which means you might be salvageable, but name dropping Race in the hopes that I wouldn't crawl into your ass for the next week was pathetic. Kill yourself.

We have played against Freeman and McCaffrey. Biggest gains were the shitfest broken plays by Dawkins.

Actually I think my avatar/handle is pretty solid for this place, and @Swaye it does show some reverence for indigenous peoples, which in this case would be the Eskimos. But yes, as a new fish I did expect to have to deal with the sodomites around here for a while. I do enjoy the cerebral, longwinded writing style @Tequilla of and would be happy to be soulmates if it gets me some protection around here.

Well, I do like Eskimos.

Where the fuck is @Tequilla to give us 6 paragraphs on this shit?

I do have concerns with the run game attacking the edge with the QB in a read option situation ... fortunately we don't really have much left on our schedule that worries me with that (ASU maybe) ...
I think you have to separate the stats for garbage time out of the picture ... it matters in getting our young players experience but that really is it
Glad to hear that you enjoy the TSIO podcast ... Pepsi will be thrilled that we have our 9th listener -
FUCK. YES.YellowSnow said:New fish here, and I’m not supposed to be here, but here I’m anyway. I’ve been lurking on the sidelines for about a year to get a feel for this place and love the HHB/Hardcore Husky shtick; and thought I would give posting on the boreds the old college try. Plus I once saw DFI’s Race Bannon smoke weed and talk shit in person (post Oregon Game at Autzen in 2002) so I feel like I should have a little street cred in this place.

I think if we get to 10 listeners we get a free meal at McDonald's or some shit.
This is a really good questions though, we'll talk about it on the pod I am sure.

Easy answer - it's not.
The run defense has been good to great in all but two scenarios - against a running QB they were clearly unprepared for in the desert and in the second half of a game they were ahead 31-0 at halftime. No one has lined up and run it down this defense's throat when they needed to get a stop except for the first half at Arizona and a couple scrambles in the second half of the same game. That's not nearly enough of a sample for me to be concerned about the run defense.
I guarantee you Utah's not watching film of this defense saying "this run defense isn't anything special". They're wracking their brains trying to figure out how they can generate a run game against them while the game is still in doubt with a QB who isn't a threat.
No one else has figured that out yet. Perhaps Utah will be the first. I wouldn't bet on it though. -

I'm not sure if we didn't kill their will. That was a big top 10 match up and they got fucking destroyed. Not all the time, but most of the time that stuff happens, it has a psychological effect. It's human nature or some shit. They didn't lose 21-17.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

So to @Tequilla 's point about separate stats for garbage it does seem like our run defense in the 1st half of the 3 PAC blowouts has been stout. Stanford had 16 net rushing yards in the 1st half, 13 in the 2nd. Oregon ran for 73 net in the 1st half and 157 in the 2nd. OSU was 33 and 144 respectively. I guess it’s fair to say then Arizona and garbage time rushing yards given up are dragging down our numbers a bit. Ok – I feel about bit better now. I just hope we can put Utah away but halftime or early in the 3rd. -
I actually have the White Album on vinyl in both Stereo and Mono. I think I prefer the Stereo version of Revolution #9 though.GrundleStiltzkin said:CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:

Very much this. I think Nebraska deflated Oregon. I look back to that 2008 BYU game and feel that was similar. I think Stanford is worse because of us. I've been thinking about the best way to analyze which teams (if any) make their opponents worse. So far what I've got is some sos adjusted winning percentages statistic before and after playing. Just due to sample sizes and unbalanced scheduling it could be toughRoadDawg55 said:

That is actually a touchdown + PAT , then a 3 point deduction when Van Winkle kicks a FG through the wrong uprights.dnc said: -

I haven't listened yet, but I am pretty much of a whore, so if we could maybe throw some of those chicken McNuggets my way, I could be swayed (haha) to tune in.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:

I think there was a dawgman poster by the name of YellowSnow. I can't remember but I think he was a fag.
You the same person?
I'm not brave enough to use my dawgman handle because I'm a fag.
