At Least We Won

Yeah, the balance has been great. It just seemed like there were long stretches were Gaskin was out. All good. We won. He just was doing so well I think they should have given him a few more.Tequilla said:
We ran 53 plays today (excluding those plays where we took a knee) ... we ran the ball 33 of those 53 plays ... that's a 62/38 percent split ...RoadDawg55 said:
The leading rusher in the PAC should get more than 19 carries when he's getting 8 a pop. 8-0 is 8-0, but i don't see how anyone could argue Gaskin should have gotten more touches.Tequilla said:I wish I had an All 22 to watch for each play ... but Utah did a much better job this week of really shoring up some of the weaknesses that they had against UCLA.
There were definitely some things we did well, ok, and poor ... but we averaged just under 7 yards per play ... so it's hard to get overly critical there.
Gaskin and Coleman had similar per carry production so it's really a non-issue to me. More importantly Dotson proved to be ineffective and promptly was removed from the field.
If you want in summation the reason that I struggle with your takes from time to time, it's your comment here as it isn't taken in the context of the game. There's a lot that you see that is very good ... but for example, when Gaskin goes on a 3-4 play burst where he gets about 35-40 yards, he's going to need a blow. Coleman comes in and continues pounding down the field or they hit a throw and the drive is over and then Gaskin technically isn't getting the carries that you want him to have. The reality is that we're a 60-70 play per game team. In a game like today where we're playing a team that wants to shorten a game, the number of plays is where it was today in the mid 50's ... more important for the offense to be efficient with the right balance then forcing touches ... the forcing of shit is what we've done in the past and it has got us in trouble. -
Coleman seems to be a serviceable #2, I just don't see why Dotson is getting carries / series with those 2 ahead of him.RoadDawg55 said:

Look, I'm as happy as anyone else here, I just hate the Pollyannas here that can't see any wrong.RoadDawg55 said:
And I don't mean it with some bullshit. We should have rather easily to plungered Troy Williams and the mormons, but we were actually losing in the 3rd quarter and tied with 4 min to go. You bet your ass I'm glad that "at least we won."doogsinparadise said:I hate this "at least we won" shit. It's soft and something that a Quook or Coog would say.

And with Sean McGrew on deck, Dotsons carries are hopefully almost done. Unless we use McGrew like we use Chico.H_D said:

The problem isn't the raw run/pass ratio, it's that Babushka will call like five runs in a row and then four or five passes in a row. Multiple drives started well and then failed because of stupid first down incompletions.

V-tech won by 3 against Pitt
Navy got plungered by South Florida
Michigan won by 9 to an 0-5 conference team
Lemson won by 3 on the road
ville' should have lost again to virginia
tOSU won by 4 against northwester
Baylor lost to fucking texas
BSU lost by to two wyoming
Tennessee lost to South carolina on the road
WVU loses to Oky State
Moral of the story is that winning as the season progresses, on the road in conference is not as easy as some make it out to be. Even against incredibly inferior competition. It's not loser talk to win in tough stadiums against good teams. Utah isn't some shit sandwich team like Michigan state.
So maybe a little bit of perspective that we aren't going to hang 50 on every team and that all we? have to do is get to the next game undefeated. Style points are cute for co-eds, but getting fucking W's is all that matters.

But we still should have beaten Ute by 21. Their oline and RB are legit. Their passing game and defense is mediocre -

Utah is way better in the trenches than I thought. Solid team and Im happy with getting the W. I legitimately thought it was going to be a blowout, especially up 14.
Utah would hang with Ohio State or Michigan in the Rose Bowl
Utah sucks. They win one more game the rest of the Season if they're lucky.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Utah is way better in the trenches than I thought. Solid team and Im happy with getting the W. I legitimately thought it was going to be a blowout, especially up 14.

You do realize blitzing opens up more lanes...PostGameOrangeSlices said:
We should have blitzed more. Against Arizona too. We keep giving lanes for QBs to run throughFire_Marshall_Bill said:
I don't get why we rarely blitzed. Joel Klatt or somebody (Baird?...I have unleashed the beer after 17 daze dry) said we only blitz 9% of the time. Williams is sort of mobile but we sacked him when we did.gmo said:agreed that wasn't one of our better coached games. I understand "we" never blitz, but they were getting absolutely zero pressure on that cocky fuck all game... believe they blitzed a grand total of once. Result: sack.
