Sark says defense wore out midway thru first half

So we are out of shape once again after another rape in the heat and altitude of the desert.

5 years of being out if shape. You'd figure with our defense going up against this "vaunted" high tempo offense in practice that they'd be in reasonable physical shape against the Devils.

But what do you expect when you get about 8 straight 3 and outs because you're too stupid to pull out the injured and battered starter and give some decent time to the presumed heir apparent for next years QB position. Eventually those guys on defense wear out.

It's starting to sound like Sark is listening to the talking heads on TV to come up with excuses.

Yah, it's hot in Tempe in mid-October, but where were the cooling fans and benches like we had for the Whammy in Miami? I was at the Whammy and nothing in Tempe could have been near that bad for the athletes on the field. I'm really not surprised that our kids are out of shape. How can any coach condition a defense to play so much of the game when the offense can't stay on the field long enough to give their defensive teammates a blow?

I miss Warrshington.

The defense was on the field way too often in the first half. Add that with our shitty DL depth, and it's a bad formula. It's one of the many reasons why Sark needs to get fired.

What would Mora do to an O-LINE that quit in game?

Certainly not beat around the bush like Dude Brahh.

I witnessed the dumpster fire from Sun Devil Stadium firsthand. A few thoughts: (1) It wasn't *that* hot. I never saw a measured temp that afternoon, but the two forecasts I saw called for highs of 87 and 88. (2) For reasons I will never understand, ASU gives the visitor the west sideline, which was entirely shaded by the early second quarter. The home sideline, by contrast, was in direct sun the entire first half. (3) ASU had "cool zones" going on their sideline; UW mysteriously did not. Just didn't bring them, I guess.

The defense kept UW in that game longer than Seven would ever have the right to expect. They eventually wore out due to the simple fact that Seven's fucktarded offense couldn't get a first down. Seriously, you have the nation's leading rusher in your backfield and an OL far worse at pass blocking than run blocking -- yet you don't even try running the damn ball?

The problem wasn't temperature. The problems were poor preparation and poor offensive playcalling.
