I hate this bored after a clearly obvious superior Trojan win.

I always wondered what "wanted it more" meant.

USC believed the game to be of greater importance. Higher energy, more swagger clearly dialed in.MelloDawg said:I always wondered what "wanted it more" meant.
Better game plan, better coaching.
Watch the replay and you will see where the UW offense moved the chains and when they did not. It's painfully blatant. -

He was Nick Holt bad last night. But you're suggesting we fire the OC of a top 5 scoring offense in the country. Jesus Christ.jecornel said:

He is Nick Holt bad.
Jake just chucking the ball downfield all second half was crazy. Trying to get it all in one play. Plus he was off.
Coleman two carries. Are you kidding me? What a joke. Two carries is embarrassing.
Imagine how well this team would be with a COMPETENT OC!
Imagine 10-0, where UW would be without the shitty OC we have.
UW is top 5 because of it's talent, despite it's play calling. Even Grandpa Sankey can see that. -
It is amazing in football what happens when you commit to an offensive philosophy that chooses to go vertical vs. horizontal. Did they pick up early in the game what was happening to Gaskin on stretch plays with their defense?TurdBuffer said:

John Smith lives in some sort of bubble if he couldn't pick up on that early in the game. There is no f'ing way Tedford was there.
Pete bounced Pease, its clear who is next. -
@GRG: To me, this is one of those situations where the stats aren't telling the real story. Ross and Pettis have played amazing, which makes Jake look good, which makes the OC look good. But look at all the under-thrown, late, fluttering long balls Jake has thrown - dare I say "lemons" - that Ross or Pettis have turned into lemonade. Stats overlook that stuff.GreenRiverGatorz said:

Way back when, in the early 80's, a freak of nature acrobat named Paul Skansi made Steve Pelluer look good, time and time again, despite the QB's tendency to overthrow or under-throw everything. Eventually Rose Bowl winning Pelluer lost his job to Tim Cowan, who threw bbs on time and on target, including a heart stopping, last play of the game TD to win the Aloha Bowl in '82, if I remember right.
Point is not to criticize so much as to accurately diagnose the problem. Stats don't do that. Eyes do. -
Think of this... had we not run that stupid play and gotten a first down, we'd still have Victor playing. Time would have shifted, the play he got injured in wouldn't have happened, and I'd still want to fire Smiff out of a cannon into the supports of any bridge of your choosing.bananasnblondes said:
Agree completely in the 2nd and 1 call. This sounds like hyperbole but I bet we win the game if we just ran it up the middle there. Being able to catch Ross and drop him for an 8 yard loss there not only stopped a drive where we were moving it easily, it gave their defense a ton of confidence and fired them up. When you treat every 2nd and short as a free play (like Smith seems to do), you are giving your offense only 2 plays to get a first down more often than not. -
I am certain as Pete always says he will have to look at the tape he will be vomiting and shaking violently.Postal91 said:Think of this... had we not run that stupid play and gotten a first down, we'd still have Victor playing.

They better plunger the Devils this weekend. -
We don't even have to imagine. It's all right there "on the tape." Lateral offense is a "how to" recipe for losing to SC.

Jimmy Lake could have coached a better offensive game plan that SmithFS
