Just queefing out our cunts and talking football. Are we not a TD better than Utah. Game should have been a rather easy victory, 34-17.

I hate this "at least we won" shit. It's soft and something that a Quook or Coog would say.
It's concerning that UW is playing shitty on the road against bad offenses. But I can accept this game and the Arizona game and still remain confident going forward. Me and my two dads were screaming all game long, but when Pettit made that play there was nothing but silence in the trailer. There is just nothing to say or yell about when winners win on the road.
Pressing my friend. We are 8-0. Ohio State has lost a game and struggled with Northwestern. It's not easy.
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."

Look, I'm as happy as anyone else here, I just hate the Pollyannas here that can't see any wrong.
We good my nigga
I thought the line probably had it right. It was 9.5 or 10. So we were a field gull worse than expected. For a team that was 4-6 almost a year ago, I'm not going to bitch too much. Quitter running back getting too many yards and maybe a lack of adjustments were my main complaints.

Their O-Line is pretty damn good. If they had a better QB they probably beat us today. Also that retired RB runs really hard. Seemed like he was always falling forward for a yard or two every damn time.
Their defense is not really good though. Similar to Arizona we rushed almost at will against them but for some reason when we are around the fifty yard line we start getting cute with the play calling.

Pretty good? Both RB's averaged over 7 a pop. The OL very well may be the strength of the offense.
The best formation is the one with Sample and Dissly. Some shotgun Stanford shit with John Ross and Pettis.

Some people might even say "it's hard."
Your first sentence is the 2nd most important sentence of the day behind the one saying we won.
You've just called two great series back to back for a 14-0 lead. Then you go for the home run which Jake throws away to be 2nd and 10. Nothing on 2nd, 3rd down was the pick and it's a game again.
I completely lost my shit seeing that, and THAT is preciously why Smith scares me as o.c. He has a dna gene in him to get fuckin cute/tricky one or two times per game. Most lead to blown series, a few will lead to fg's instead of td's. Today's led to the int.
Continue the groove from the previous td's, get another td or a field goal, make Utah and BP down three scores and tgio (that game is over)

Anybody that is going bat shit crazy on the INT from Browning because of the play call is FS ...
Jake made the read of the Utes being in what looked like Cover 3 or Cover 4 and saw Chico splitting the dropping CB and S ... the problem there is that Jake stared down Chico (running a seem route) and never moved the S off of the spot of where he was trying to go with Chico. It wasn't a great read by Jake (that's a tough throw against Cover 4 particularly) but an even worse throw given that he never moved the safety off of the spot. Probably a Top 5-10 bad play for him on the year.
That being said, to throw the OC under the bus for the play call is probably going a little extreme there. It was 3rd and long so having at least one deep route to clear out and run the safeties back in a Cover-x situation is required. If it's there you take the shot ... if not you check down. That's on Browning ... not the OC.

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.

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.

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 ...
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.
