  1. I don’t know about Riley blowing it today. Huskers already up 10-0. Fluke rebound on a pass led to a big gain. MR seems to be living right his season, but the other OSU should bring him back to reality eventually.

    Go Beavs!

    • This week and next are the challenges for the O line, if they stay healthy they are likely to perform well in the last few games. #Hopeful

  2. It looks like mental mistakes also, which if you are outmanned, you just can’t have. The OC’s need to call a perfect game which does not look like it’s going to happen.

  3. So we gain 2-4 yards on 1st down. Seems like you’d want to continue to just pound it on the ground for more short yardage plays just so you dont have to throw on 3rd down. Why waste 2nd down with a pass every time?

    And then a picked off pass…….jesus. piss poor play calling

  4. I hate when it turns into 4th and short against us. Just means waiting for a review, then the ensuing 4th down conversion. I have no faith in our D in this situation

    • Even if Nall turns out to be injured already, I’d still take 2-3 positive yards per play from pierce vs having sunshine throw into traffic and wind. It’s like our gameplan was “they’ll never expect us to pass it!” and we’re toi stubbourn to adjust our gameplan now.

  5. I’m not a football scholar, but someone help me here. Garrettson had plenty of time for once and three guys were covering Hernandez………wasn’t someone else open somewhere on that play???

    • I’ve watched some of his Utah St. stuff, he was not a progression QB. Lots of long passes as Utah St. had better talent then a lot of the competition at that time.

  6. Reality check game here for the players and fanbase.

    Garrettson is a real problem. 82 yards last week and now this…not sure why they don’t just try McMaryion.

  7. The play calling should be the runs to Bolden (where’s is Seth? Give it to him, too, even in the wildcat would be nice), and screens and runs up the middle and then sweeps with the speed guys like Lucas. I mean it’s such an obvious plan. Just do it. If it doesn’t work oh well you did the best plan possible and it failed, but don’t do a stupid plan just b/c the obvious plan is…obvious.

  8. QB Williams got chewed on the sideline after that DOG penalty, he’ll probably react well but there is always the chance that he loses focus. #hopeful

  9. I’m fine with Garretson at QB today if he’s willing to tuck and run on occasion, but that’s the only reason he should be in there. Only needed 5 yards there and had room, but throwing to nobody isnt going to get it done. Might as well play 4 down gootball on the ground and try to average 2-3 yards per play.

    Punting isnt very helpful when it goes nowhere or turns into a safety.

  10. Seth might better than Garrettson, if we’re being honest.

    I’d rather seen MM. The guy never gets a change to play even one game, even as these scrubs get full seasons. The one game he played, CW, he almost pulled off a massive upset. Give the guy a shot. Jeez. Even Blount would be better than Garrettson.

  11. You guys asked for run plays so now they try a draw on 3rd and 20yds. This play calling is the most ridiculous I have seen. I have crapped prettier game scripts.

  12. McKalk, what did we say about this RB having a career day?
    Happens every time. I would not be surprised if this guy came out of retirement to set a school rushing record.

    • Having lived in SLC for almost 15 years, I still follow Utah football. Williams was going to be the featured back this year, but had injuries and pissed Whittingham off by fumbling twice early in the season. He retired because he basically wasn’t feeling it anymore. Beavers are making him look like a superstar.

  13. Hey bros, anyone have a working stream? My go to streams are lagging. Not sure if it’s the weather or what and I have Directv so I’m SOL.

    • I took it as more of a shot at the O-line.
      Noticed Jim Wilson thinks short passes to STG are a big part of the answer, Wilson isn’t as pissed about all the pass plays as I would have expected.

  14. Is anyone else bothered by GA’s seeming “non-engagement” with the offensive side of this team? I don’t think you can do that as HC. Personally, I’ve seen too much WTF on that side of the ball over the last season and a half. I’m actually more forgiving of the defense because they are clearly outmanned. There is some P-12 talent on the offense.

  15. You have to scratch your head a bit at this whole Qb situation. I mean Seth was better than all the other guys they tried last year and aside from the Minnesota game he was also better than Garreston. No wonder he wanted to transfer. As a fan base we were hyped up like Garreston was the next Manning bro when in reality he is terrible. Mcmaryion or Blount deserve a shot since at this point you can’t have this whole staff eat crow and out Seth back in the driver seat.

    • I’m watching the USC-AZ game and I started thinking about the lack of accurate QBs in the P12. It’s hard to believe that the high school QB talent is so limited that the P12 can only get 3-4 decent QBs out of the entire country’s pool of high school QBs.

  16. Not sure what they can do on offense if Nall is done for the day. Only other success they’ve had have been the Bolden sweeps, but those won’t last if nothing else is working.

  17. Garretson is crap, Collins is worse. Collins has a one man army mentality that had him just trying to shoulder the load and it quickly allowed teams to focus on him and cripple us. I am all for Marcus or Connor getting a try.

    1 pass yard in a half is pathetic.

  18. These announcers need to shut the f up about Williams, they make it sound like he’s 80 years old coming out of a retirement center to play football. He is an extreme athlete who was basically out for all of three and a half weeks. Find another theme………dead horse on this one.

  19. I accepted that the deep pass wasn’t going to be much of a thing in the post-Mannion era with this new offense. Can’t believe we are at the point where the short completions are a challenge.

      • I was the first to call perimeter runs/sweeps with good WR blocking. There’s a different between saying to run and then giving specific plays.

        Forget that. Hate on me. The bigger issue is McGiven and crew don’t know to keep doing this.

  20. These announcers are kind of annoying and stupid. They keep talking about the Beavs need to stop attacking the middle, they have not done that at all without Nall. They actually need to stop passing.

  21. Where is Seth Collins? Why not run wildcat or a screen or sweep to him?
    Wildcat with a run/pass option would be effective from what I see.

  22. Even the radio guys are saying to quit passing. I cannot fathom why the coaches continue to call the pass. Are they really that stupid? That’s concerning me more than any 50-something to 6 beatdown by Colorado.

  23. gonna have to put the ball in the end zone if they want to win this game. Defense has played very well this half. Is it too much to ask that maybe they do it for them?

  24. Pathetic offense LOL! Why the hell are we playing a walk on true frosh in a crucial game! I’m all for McM and have been for awhile, our offense is a massive cluster f*ck

    • It was actually worse than any Riley/Langsdorf game I can remember.
      Literally one good drive play-calling-wise and on that drive they got bailed out by a PI on their lone awful call.

  25. The Beavs have some P-12 talent on the offense. They can’t find a superstar JC QB to run the show for two years? It’s too late now.

  26. Poor McMaryion always gets thrown into games in the shitiest circumstances. Backed up in his endzone. 3:00 left in game after we give away the game, Civil war on the road with half if the team not making the trip. Good luck, kid!

  27. This was winnable. I don’t know how as our offense looked like a troop of monkeys banging a rotten watermelon. The defense showed a little moxie. I would have liked to have seen a QB change at the half.

  28. Haha. They signed this slow white guy Hernandez because of his “great hands”

    Wes Welker effect, thinking all slow white guys can catch.

  29. Man, I should be a QB scout.
    McM clearly was the best of the bunch. Would have won this game if they started him.

    GA only refuses to play him because he didn’t recruit him. Meathead mentality there.

  30. Anyone else notice the clock continue to run when mcmaryon ran the ball out of bounds with around 2:20 left?

    Lost probably 20 seconds of game clock there.

  31. Guess I’ll take a couple of weeks away from here. Not going to be able to stand Angry with his rediscovered super football scouting abilities and self-diagnosed high IQ., lol.

    On a serious note, I’m glad to see some semblance of a passing threat on the offense.

    • Well, I had to listen to you idiots say a walk-on and Big Sky/Mountain West/whaver QB were better than a legit QB for 2 years. I think you can handle it.

      • I don’t think I every said that because I actually follow state of Utah college football. He transferred because he was never going to start at Utah St. That should tell us 1.) something about his overall talent and 2.) how desperate the Beav QB situation was (or at least how bad the coaches thought it was).

  32. “Oh it’s the weather, it’s the QB’s gloves, it’s the receivers, it’s the wind, it’s the yada yada yada.”
    It’s none of that. McM can throw a ball. The other guys can’t.

    Play the Riley QB always. One thing Riley could do is recruit QBs. Plus the guy has a 4.0 GPA and amazing HS film.

    GA is a moron with that QB situation. He did it at WI as well.

    • Strike one is Vanderveen.

      Stroke two is this fucking shitshow with starting anyone but the guy who can actually complete a fucking pass.

      I’m one strike away from being ready to turn the page on this coaching staff. The QB situation has been buttfucked since the first day.

    • Not sure how it appeared on tv but live McM passes were so much better not even funny. Gonna walk home and drown my sorrows in alcohol.

  33. I’m all in for mcm starting the rest of the games. Nall is such a stud, I just wish he would stay healthy. He is one of the keys to us winning. The defense did an OK job after half time. We need to stack the box every play to stop the run. Make teams beat us through the air. I’m more confident in the dbs than the line. Chapelle sure can lay the wood and I’m sure that receiver was hearing footsteps the rest of the game. Special teams gets an F. Too many wtf calls by the coaches and this is on them…

  34. I guess I can’t say we win that game with Nall. McGiven is fucking retarded and couldn’t tell that Utahs defense against the run was as good as the coaching staff thought.

  35. Y’all act like we lost the Rose bowl. We all knew we werent beating the 21 ranked team in the country. Beavs played like an immature team, hopefully next year we win this kind of game.
