hey, Angry: a few more gems for Husker overreaction on The Zone: team is inconsistent as hell. the team psyche is “soft as a bag of cookies.” Toughness is hard to come by and this team feels there’s no price to be paid for non-performance. team has personality of the head coach. sometimes players need to see anger from a coach, not expressions of disappointment.
More Husker Overreaction: “Riley: Bill Callahan 2.0” A new coach can make a difference at a “legacy program” in a slump, citing Harbaugh at Michigan, Saban at Alabama, Meyer at Ohio State. Call for Trev Albers as new AD. Riley: “an old man who doesn’t have the rah-rah.” Host Calls for Eichorst to tell Riley to make more changes. Riley has run out of “life lines.” Eichorst quote: “this is not acceptable.” “Today’s performance was not good enough” “coaches have to do better.”
Seems like despite the extension that Riley’s seat is quite hot. Next two games are vs. Rutgers and Illinois who are terrible so I bet he’ll win these next two and get some of the people to settle down.
can’t explain why it feels like a win but guessing the beavs pull out a close one…or maybe the win comes in the form of a firing after getting ~20min TOP this game.
Probably because they’re in every game at the half so you think if they just put together a full game they can win. That’s how I’ve felt. Yet until they do it it’s hard to pick them at this point. Anyone can win any game in NCAA football so we’ll find out in a few minutes.
Riley pulled another early season vanilla soft ice cream performance against Northern Illinois and right on the heels of a contract extensions. I think he’s now 15-12 in his 3rd year at Nebraska…
Anderson too if after the first 3 weeks of this dipshit can’t figure out that this team should run the ball 45 -50 times a game he should be fired. And clearly Anderson has not told him anything about running the ball more if the first drive sees us chuck up 2 then scheme a wack ass QB run
Game Over. See GA and staff have FAILED to tell the players not to run out of the endzone still. Cost us 5 yards but almost cost us 10 as AP was lucky to break first tackle. This is just more of the same issues not getting cleaned up. If they won’t take care of the easiest ones to fix why should anyone think McGivInt, Clune or GA will adjust what they are doing? Will just be more of the same broken record today. Expect over 53% passing today as usual. Keep on losing with the same formula. Staff can’t even come close to executing their gameplan per the stated objective of 60/40 run pass. Pretty sad and the excuses are beyond tired if they are unwilling to do anything besides the same failed tactics.
Getting STG back is actually a problem. He is going to be thrown to a few extra times just to get him involved. This is how the offensive minds think. He needs to be involved as does Villy and the shiny toy Hodgins. So the whole offense is now designed to keep the WRs happy but not designed to play to the strength of the team, running.
I expect GA to make comments about how great Falk has been since high school and he is just too good to expect to stop him. Defense hads the built in excuse and offense has its excuse for needing to keep everybody involved, getting Luton in a rythym blah blah, If we had more plays Nall would get the ball more. Meaning 1 out of every 10 plays.
Well there’s the first of many TD’s today. pourous secondary on a short field, not a good mix. This is an embarrassing product for year three of a rebuild. Horrendous.
Against fall you’ve also got to capitalize on the INTs when you have one in your hands! It was a tough catch to make but if you’re going to have a chance you got to come up with a couple of those.
Nothing different, same offensive pattern, defense has been ok so far but it won’t last, already faced a short field and gave up a td. How soon until the turnovers begin?
GA is out-thinking himself, instead of being an aggressive running team. Why in the world don’t they keep running inside with Nall? It is like they only think it can work a few times per game and they used up the good runs already, better try something else.
Don’t like not going for a field goal at 30 yard line. We gained 20 yards by punting but had atleast a 50% chance for 3 points. WSU taking over at 30 isn’t that bad. Seems like a waste of some nice effort by Nall.
I get that you got a safety last time you punted, but I still don’t get why you don’t try to kick a field goal there. What does that say about your confidence in your kicker?
To be fair, the D has had to defend short fields all year, so maybe he was thinking they excelled in defending the long field. Beavs haven’t played field position all year. Still, stupid. Kick it.
Team looks better overall, right? I mean that’s what I see.
Morris is helping out, I think. Moore was a liability. Makes you wonder why the staff didn’t have the right players on the field. Hm.
Morris missing that easy INT is like a 70 yard difference in field position. Beavs have been on the losing end of field position all year. Between that and the O handing the opponents points it skewed D numbers.
Biggest concern is still the offense. Have to have a QB who moves the chains and converts 3rd downs/passing downs. Those are the hard ones to make and we simply don’t move the chains on those downs. At least it seems that way. Don’t have the numbers in front of me.
Yeah I see the same. Looking better for sure. First down passes still killing the offensive flow. Nall averaging 6.9 per carry.
At least they are trying to get it in the RB’s hands more frequently via screens.
Nall gets 13 and 10 on back to back runs to start the prior possession so they surprise Wazzu by throwing a long incompletion to start at the 10? How dense can they be? When Wazzu has a thin quick d-line, run right at them not around them or try to pass against them.
D got Swiss Cheesy on that drive. That Falk pass looked so easy to defend, too. It was in the air forever and the defender was right there. How do you not swat that? It’s like it went through our guy.
Is it just me or does our pre snap motion only serve to help telegraph to the defense exactly what the play will be? And the motion always looks to be at half speed.
Luton: “Hey, I’ll stomp my foot like Clever Hans, that will signal to you Ryan to shuffle off to the right and prepare to block for our running back who is going to go to the same side as well. The defense will never see this one coming. Ready….set…..hike!”
I’ve seen enough of Jake Luton. He doesn’t have anything better than any of our other QBs. He throws hard but not accurate. WRs can’t catch in stride and have to adjust too much.
Feel like these refs are working against us. They took forever to decide to review and gave wsu an extra long timeout. Pierce out of bounds should have been a “call stands” type of play.
We don’t need the refs to crush us in addition to our coaches.
Mike Leach intimidated the officials into negating that catch. Bad call, bad form by the men in stripes.— kerry eggers (@kerryeggers) September 16, 2017
Isn’t that the whole purpose of the review? To prove if a catch actially occurred of it’s questionable?
Refs amd GA both blew that. Seemed easily like a review worthy play in live action, yet everybody just says “ho hum….play on”
Pretty much every judgment call by the refs has gone against us. Gotta protect the ranked team, I guess. Sure we’d still be losing if called equally, but it doesn’t change the fact that the refs are crap.
Yeah even my non-football watching wife noticed. She’s goes….”The team is holding and pushing just as much….but you guys get penalty”. Yeah no shit. And Leach bullied the refs review on the that dropped ball. Fucking horse shit!!!
Two TDs by WSU in final 1:30 of the half. That’s on GA or ‘on him’ as he would say and is an utter failure. GA needs to go if a coordinator isn’t gone within 3 weeks.
So a WSU substitution penalty essentially gives them a 2nd chance to squib it and hope to get a special teams turnover score with no time left?
Only benefits the Cougs to replay that, right?
Who is the deep threat on offense? That seems to hinder the o because the d doesn’t have to respect it. The best drive was the one where they ran and got ap in the open field.
Luton’s sideline fades are uselessly inaccurate. Don’t recall any post routes. Receivers are getting open to no avail if the QB can’t get them the ball.
Did anyone mention that Pierce downed that kickoff in the end zone with ZERO seconds on the clock. I guess if you are a defeated team, you think he’s going to fumble and Wazzu will scoop and score?
my thinking exactly. It will take weeks for OSU to recover from this disaster. They might be able to pull things together by the time ASU comes to town. 2-10
That’s the only reason i’ll watch the 2nd half. To see if we go full McGivemln/Luton pass happy, or if we try running it more with DG to minimize further damage.
So funny that we were within 14-9 with a few minutes to go and I had a glimmer of hope that we could take that score to half time, but we managed to completely destroy any momentum we had.
I say Lockette for Interim HC. Give him the keys to a junk Cadillac and let him start making wheelies. I am sure he would at least run more and hold the OC accountable.
Then go get Beau in the offseason unless Telly wins 3 Pac-12 games including the Civil War.
At the game… downing that ball after electing to have them rekick is a summary of our coaching. All Beavs at our end let out a simultaneous wtf?
Well at least you can go buy beer right outside the stadium at half-time.
What’s truly depressing about this situation is that WSU, as Angry once said, is OSU’s doppleganger. The test of OSU’s competitiveness is how they stack up vs. WSU virtually any single year. Long way to go, it would seem.
The only pass Luton can complete is the 10 yard pass, and he throws it 100mph and always on the wrong shoulder so the WR is twisted and can’t get any YAC. He’s alright at that throw, can’t make any others…these bozos analyzing talent picked him.
We need to get out of the Ohio State game. Can’t win 1 game this year vs PSU and then go on the road and get killed by Ohio State to start next season. We also have no QB (I like Petras, but he’s probably 2 years off). This is the worst of times.
I very seldom comment even though I have followed AB for a long time. I have to say Angry called this from the start of the season, GA has a new toy and he wants to play with it. Luton is not a Pac12 QB and it has cost us all year. Combine this with poor coaching and you have this shit show. WSU is not as good as past years and we have had opportunities to be in this game but Luton missing targets and terrible decisions by coaching and here we are looking like a bottom feeding football team. I really think there is enough talent on this team to be a contender in most games but not with this leadership.
Nice block. I feel there are some positives on D in this game. Sack, block, should have had at least 2 INTs (“get on the jugs machine”, the announcer chides), etc. Yeah, points and yards suck, but given the O is putting them in terrible position it’s expected. I’m most concerned about the future due to QB play not the D. We have no QB in the pipeline. OSU should be able to go out and recruit the best JC QB in America. They can and will start here next year. Should be able to get a 5-star HS QB and sell him on playing time/changing this program. But no, GA instead wants to pretend he’s so good at spotting QBs he found a guy no other P5 program offered, as he runs a legit P5 QB out of town.
Oregon/Wyoming is only 14-10. Doubt Wyoming can hang and they’ll probably lost by 40, but I always thought that coach was a good fit for that program. They play disciplined and good football, even when getting killed, which can keep them in a lot of games.
If I knew anything about Wyoming I could comment on that.
I know they were pretty good a few years ago, and every time I watch them they seem really well coached. No idea if they have legit playmakers or who they gained/lost this year on the roster.
The OSU football twitter is so embarrassing. haha. They just mention the good stuff. They’re talking about the Nall TD when WSU has scored like 200x since then.
McGiven needs to be either demoted or fired after this game. Also, we’re going to need Luton to get injured, because it’s clear at this point that the coaching staff will always play him over anyone else as long as he’s healthy.
I like GA. I’d be all on board with keeping him 5 years if he had the slightest fucking clue about QBs and would look outside of Utah State for coaches. Those are both his demise.
so, this is a point in the game where you concede defeat, and try to get out of town without embarrassing yourself. you do that by trying to make the running game work. This staff, thinking the game can still be made respectable, will go pass, pass, pass, and since that is what WSU is expecting, it will fail
Give me a break. Please tell me what serious benefit there is to going Mountain West. I hear this a lot and it’s ridiculous. WSU had a monumentally bad program less than a decade ago – worse than us this year, and they turned it around. Think they wish they joined the MWC or WAC?
Our football team literally has no history of being good. Present day we have no identity whatsoever. You could say that since Erickson bailed on us. Need to have some sort of plan here.
by pure coincidence I became a fan in 1999. I was aware of the long history of futility but never thought there would be a reversion to the 1970’s and ’80s, but friends, we’re there.
Luton who staff is locked into despite if he turns it over 10 times a game, fumbles and WSU scores another easy TD by picking it up and running for 40+ yards.
This is the kind of play, after numerois examples of why Luton should have been pulled already, of why either McGiven or GA should be fired after this game.
Luton is not capable of playing at this level. Andersen, Mcgiven and Clune are not capable of coaching at this level. Hence we are an embarresment. I feel bad for the players. I really feel we are better than this shit show!
Yep, fans would have been screaming for weeks to put in McM who should be on our team. GA could give a shit how many turnovers Luton has. What an effin joke.
Start Garretson and give yourself a decent game manager. Luton is honestly the worst game manager I have seen in 40 years of watching football.
GA said he wasn’t interested in a game manager which is assinine. Not interested in keeping GA employed if he thinks this is how you lead or win at football.
Haven’t watched 40 years, but in the ~15 years I have watched Luton is the worst QB I have seen. One thing Riley was really good at was spotting QBs (other than missing on Moore).
I’ve been thinking of going back to school for a law degree. Now realize I need to pick USC, Washington, or Oregon and just end this OSU thing. It’s the only way, because OSU can’t get out of their own way, so I’ll have to get out of theirs.
I respect Luton trying his best but he should have been pulled a quarter ago or earlier today. Any otger staff would have sent in the backup before this happened. GA being a stubborn ass when the guy has had such a long day was flat out not the right decision.
Prayers for Luton. Shouldn’t require scaring all of Beaver Natiok about a potential life changing injury for GA to just have common sense.
Why was that even a debate about targeting with the announcers? Moore got called last week on a guy going down and tried to check up. This fucker left his feet.
I am sick of watching Luton as much everyone else but he may have broken his neck…
Bullshit refs. That WSU player hit his head. It’s right there on video. Unbelievable. Refs should be suspended for the numerous horrible biased calls this game.
If I was Gary Anderson I would trash this conference and these refs. I would say my guys played their guys out and then the refs rigged the game. They then took away a targeting call at the league office. I would create an absolute shit storm. I would lobby for Thompson to lose his season.
Yep. It’s painful to think how the season might be if GA started McM, had Garrettson as the backup, and let Luton learn. Or even Garettson as the starter. I mentioned a few weeks ago I thought he should be the starter over Luton and some jerk laughed. Clearly he’s better at QBing, which entails a lot more than throwing hard or far.
Luton could have learned if he had remained at Idaho. The Petrinos know quarterbacks, which is perhaps why he didn’t put Luton in place when he (Luton) was a freshman. And, as I recall, when asked for a statement during (or soon after?) Luton’s signing, Paul Petrino basically said nothing.
Willard is like Luton 2.0. Big, tall, huge arm, and no brains or accuracy. At least that’s what I saw on film.
Blount is a walk-on. The odds of him being good are slim. OSU should go with Garrettson no matter what the rest of the way, and hope Petras can play as a freshman. Petras is the first GA QB who looks promising.
Agree on petras. I think luton could be good next year however. Personally i think he has showed steady improvement. Petras as a redshirt sophomore or frosh could make a huge difference.
Call me crazy, but I think if we started McM (where he here) or Garrettson we’d be 2-2 right now. Possibly 3-1.
I don’t think people understand that an efficient O that can move the chains and maintain field position changes entire outcomes of games. Yeah the D looks awful, but they’d look a lot better if these things happened at the QB position. I don’t blame Luton himself. I blame GA and McGiven for awful analysis.
I thought Luton had moments against csu. I liked watching him work through progressions. He got hesitant and regressed after that. Should know to move on from there. Honestly, Garrettson was decent for us last year before he was beat up over the first few games. I love an offense that is efficient and plays field position and TOP. Garrettson could do that for us. A lot more to look forward to than there has been.
That CSU secondary was reportedly awful (people used stats from last year to back this up). To my eye, that secondary looked totally beatable with a viable QB. People need to get this through their head: the offense was responsible for 27 of the points vs CSU. And that’s just direct points off turnovers, etc. Never mind field position. And people want to blame the D dealing with that at elevation? I don’t buy it. Good QB play and we’re in that game. I think the players knew that and it’s why they quit. GA handing Luton the job was a huge error/problem. We actually have a chance to improve now, because I think the players respect Garrettson.
Hard to argue against this. I know that you and others had predicted McM would transfer. At the time, I thought that was a drastic perspective. When he moved on it changed the entire dynamic of this team and it appears that it will be a massive struggle to recover from.
I would like to know if GA was the prime mover in the selection of Luton as the starter or if that was McGiven.
How about delusional instead. Dude, you accuse others of having a hard on for players ON the team you don’t care for but here you are continuing to slob all over MCM’s knob and he’s at Fresno St now?
Ignore coaches not picking the best QB? Yeah you get what you deserve if that’s your attitude.
“Let the massive error slide because he’s not here” is some of the dumbest logic I’ve heard. Completely failing to see he isn’t here because of the error. Good job, Whiskey. Might want to take a longer break and get your head straight.
Let’s add fuck the pac12 offices. The central office reviewed that play and somehow decided it wasn’t targeting. If that isn’t evidence that the conference is against us then I don’t know ow what is.
Not sure about Clune. GA was following him around in practice all week…several busted plays this week. TBH I thought the D looked very good in between the busted plays. 3 sacks, should have had at least 2 INT where it not for nerves/inexperience. I mean that’s progress. I’d fire McGiven first. He never deserved the position, and my guess is he’s in GA’s ear giving input on QBs. That type of (poor) analysis needs to go ASAP. Lots of “ums” in interviews, too. Not sure he’s a smart guy.
This is what I think. I also think he’s the primary driver of all things related to scheme. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out he’s the Rasputin who had Baldwin exiled to inside receivers.
It’s conspiracy central. But it’s the only thing that makes sense right now.
I haven’t watched a non-Beav game in 5 years, but I might check out Washington to see if McM plays. That starter looks awful. Curious if Tedford continues to mess up, too.
The glimmer of hope was Garrettson played better than Luton and the D had 3 sacks and missed on at least 2 easy INTs. I have 3, but it’s debatable whether the 3rd was easy. Horse shoes and hand grenades…
San Diego State beating ASU and now Stanford. Not a big fan of Rocky Long for head coach, by may want to look at some of the assistants — doing more with less.

hey, Angry: a few more gems for Husker overreaction on The Zone: team is inconsistent as hell. the team psyche is “soft as a bag of cookies.” Toughness is hard to come by and this team feels there’s no price to be paid for non-performance. team has personality of the head coach. sometimes players need to see anger from a coach, not expressions of disappointment.
I think the Cougs will score more than 35 and the Beavs less than 21.
Go BEAVS!
Itz bout that tiiiiime! Lezzzz go! Time to drop some hammerz
5th. That is I think I’ll break out a 5th. Oh wait,,,, I quit drinking years ago.
I’ll take you’re leftovers.
More Husker Overreaction: “Riley: Bill Callahan 2.0” A new coach can make a difference at a “legacy program” in a slump, citing Harbaugh at Michigan, Saban at Alabama, Meyer at Ohio State.

It looks like a blow out on paper……
What I’m looking for is a shred of a pass rush, Morris to spark the D and Collins to spark the O.
AND a team that doesn’t fall apart after halftime……lets show some dam fight today Beavs!!
can’t explain why it feels like a win but guessing the beavs pull out a close one…or maybe the win comes in the form of a firing after getting ~20min TOP this game.
Probably because they’re in every game at the half so you think if they just put together a full game they can win. That’s how I’ve felt. Yet until they do it it’s hard to pick them at this point. Anyone can win any game in NCAA football so we’ll find out in a few minutes.
Huskers still ripping on Riley, staff’s, and players’ lack of passion and fire. One refers to a shot of Riley during the game:
“You want your guys to play tough, and you’re putting chapstick on your lips?!”
#TPB :)
Maybe his lips hurt real bad….

Beat me to it! Knew someone would post this. Lmfao
Riley pulled another early season vanilla soft ice cream performance against Northern Illinois and right on the heels of a contract extensions. I think he’s now 15-12 in his 3rd year at Nebraska…
So Seth is playing?
https://twitter.com/ginamizell/status/909160318202347520
Go Beavs!
Let down game for cougs after an emotional, physical OT comeback vs. Bsu?
Stranger things have happened!
Seth back is a nice boost. Way better than Bradford.
Fire Mcgiven.
Anderson too if after the first 3 weeks of this dipshit can’t figure out that this team should run the ball 45 -50 times a game he should be fired. And clearly Anderson has not told him anything about running the ball more if the first drive sees us chuck up 2 then scheme a wack ass QB run
Mcpassin stinks.
No touches for Nall out of the gate. 2 passes, 3 and out …game over
Yeah, bring Garrettson in, because they D doesn’t know he’s going to run.
Two passes and a tipped off QB run. Great play calling to start.
Lol such a joke
Way to trick the D with DG in there. Wtf???
It’s embarrassing.
This offense is so hard to watch. Just no fluidity at all.
Nice three and out… just heard a timber in the roof crack…. uh oh!!
Ryan Nall sucks!
Good series D!
The announcers were just talking about a sack??? What’s a sack?
Defense came to play. Good thing since they’re going to be on the field the entire game.
Game Over. See GA and staff have FAILED to tell the players not to run out of the endzone still. Cost us 5 yards but almost cost us 10 as AP was lucky to break first tackle. This is just more of the same issues not getting cleaned up. If they won’t take care of the easiest ones to fix why should anyone think McGivInt, Clune or GA will adjust what they are doing?

Pretty sad and the excuses are beyond tired if they are unwilling to do anything besides the same failed tactics.
Defense showing signs of life?
Why didn’t they run Nall on that short 3rd down. Already bad start.
Pass happy here we come. Screw you McGivInt and GA for doing nothing about it.
Whoa, another 3and out? Sweet!
“Those offensive coaches have good minds”
Run ball. Run clock.
Morons.
McMaryion would be nice. Yeah he isn’t great, and we wouldn’t be great, but we’d be 2-1 and have a respectable QB back there.
Luton in getting into mandatory sit territory. Once again his awful Quarterbacking has setup the D to defend a short field.
Beav coaches are incompetent. Embarrassing.
I guess we can’t wrap up on first contact.
Getting STG back is actually a problem. He is going to be thrown to a few extra times just to get him involved. This is how the offensive minds think. He needs to be involved as does Villy and the shiny toy Hodgins. So the whole offense is now designed to keep the WRs happy but not designed to play to the strength of the team, running.
I expect GA to make comments about how great Falk has been since high school and he is just too good to expect to stop him. Defense hads the built in excuse and offense has its excuse for needing to keep everybody involved, getting Luton in a rythym blah blah, If we had more plays Nall would get the ball more. Meaning 1 out of every 10 plays.
The positive from all that is McGiven is likely fired soon.
Leach = Professional, Anderson = Amatuer.
The entire coaching staff is out of their league.
Well there’s the first of many TD’s today. pourous secondary on a short field, not a good mix. This is an embarrassing product for year three of a rebuild. Horrendous.
Bring in Garretson NOW or the fanbase needs to REVOLT. Luton is a liability.
That was a great, indefensible throw by Falk if we’re being fair.
Receiver had 3 steps on our guy.
Against fall you’ve also got to capitalize on the INTs when you have one in your hands! It was a tough catch to make but if you’re going to have a chance you got to come up with a couple of those.
They’re holding and even with that can’t create a crease for the RB. Hummm
Well Seth found a way to impact the game. SMH
Nice to see Seth Collins has matured. Not.
Just tuning in now. Go Beavs? Or no?
My vote is go OC,,,, be gone with you.
Go Beavs. Always.
Not with these coaches.
Pierce looks explosive.
Nothing different, same offensive pattern, defense has been ok so far but it won’t last, already faced a short field and gave up a td. How soon until the turnovers begin?
Pac 12 officials are shit
I don’t like punting here even with 11 to go. Most likely it’s going to be a touchback and you gain 16 yards.
just kidding
Haha!
It was a great call
they did the same thing last game with less yardage to go fir the first and it was a touch back meaning it was like a 15 yard punt. lol
8 passes. 4 rushing attempts. 66/33 pass/rush ratio. Sounds about right.
Well we at least won’t get shutout!!!
Guess the defense figures they have to take scoring into their own hands. Offense sure won’t.
Nall with two very nice runs. Just have to call more of them.
Nall on first down for 13 yd gain? Then 10 more after that? Did McGiven go to the bathroom and missed the safety?
Nall has such great ellusivity. I don’t know if that’s even a word but it should be if it’s not.
OMG is that 3 first downs in three plays?
And suddenly the passes looked better. Shocking.
lol, that 3rd down play says it all.
Luton is limping as a result of that hit.
GA is inept. Wtf. Punt instead of FG?
4th and 6 at the 29 and you… take the penalty and punt? JESUS
Wow. Either kick the FG or go for it. Do we not have anyone who can kick a 47 yard FG?
Don’t like that decision.
GA is out-thinking himself, instead of being an aggressive running team. Why in the world don’t they keep running inside with Nall? It is like they only think it can work a few times per game and they used up the good runs already, better try something else.
Why punt at the 30?
A vote of confidence…in our punter.
What in the actual fuck was that?
Maybe GA trusts the Defense to score more points than the Offense?
Don’t like not going for a field goal at 30 yard line. We gained 20 yards by punting but had atleast a 50% chance for 3 points. WSU taking over at 30 isn’t that bad. Seems like a waste of some nice effort by Nall.
I get that you got a safety last time you punted, but I still don’t get why you don’t try to kick a field goal there. What does that say about your confidence in your kicker?
To be fair, the D has had to defend short fields all year, so maybe he was thinking they excelled in defending the long field. Beavs haven’t played field position all year. Still, stupid. Kick it.
GA wore his little boy pants. Hope he wore his big boy underwear because he’s taking a massive dump.
You have a better shot just going for it.
Gotta get the int when you have the chance.
Hudson looks good
Another missed INT opportunity. At least it was on 3rd down. Now let’s see if we get some movement on O again!
2 dropped picks one that cost 7 points.
To bad Morris couldnt get that pick. Big flip of the field with the penalty against us.
Stop watching and go do something interesting and/or productive…
Between poor offensive playbook and stupid play OSU can’t win. RUN… THE…. BALL!
Team looks better overall, right? I mean that’s what I see.
Morris is helping out, I think. Moore was a liability. Makes you wonder why the staff didn’t have the right players on the field. Hm.
Morris missing that easy INT is like a 70 yard difference in field position. Beavs have been on the losing end of field position all year. Between that and the O handing the opponents points it skewed D numbers.
Biggest concern is still the offense. Have to have a QB who moves the chains and converts 3rd downs/passing downs. Those are the hard ones to make and we simply don’t move the chains on those downs. At least it seems that way. Don’t have the numbers in front of me.
Yeah I see the same. Looking better for sure. First down passes still killing the offensive flow. Nall averaging 6.9 per carry.
At least they are trying to get it in the RB’s hands more frequently via screens.
I don’t like Moore. He seems like an idiot. He has a targeting call every other game it seems like.
1st down incompletion. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
That fucking no motion, it’s obvious it’s a pass first down play hasn’t worked all year.
And on cue, Luton again fails to move the chains on a 3rd down pass.
Anyone have his 3rd down passing numbers? It seems he never converts them.
swing pass to Nall is too predictable
They’ve gotta commit to the run. The passing efficiency isn’t there when you start with the pass. Start with the run to open up the pass.
That’s been obvious since July not going to happen under mcpassin
The second down run should have been the first down call.
If Mcpassin isn’t fired after this game what will it take?
Where is togiai?
Nall gets 13 and 10 on back to back runs to start the prior possession so they surprise Wazzu by throwing a long incompletion to start at the 10? How dense can they be? When Wazzu has a thin quick d-line, run right at them not around them or try to pass against them.
We’re gonna need alot more safeties if we want to win this game….
“Now that the Cougs are up by 2 scores, we can freely pass without anyone complaining right?” MicGiven to GA
D got Swiss Cheesy on that drive. That Falk pass looked so easy to defend, too. It was in the air forever and the defender was right there. How do you not swat that? It’s like it went through our guy.
He didn’t put his hands in the right spot. Poor training?
CB is the hardest position to play athletically. How do you not swat that is a silly question.
No, it’s a great question.
Is that a TD when you’re still bobbking the ball while falking out of bounds? Shouldnt be
Falling….falking…..same dif
Saw that and GA didn’t challenge it. “It’s on him”…so we’re all good.
Game changing play so far is Morris dropping the INT. That was points, momentum, field position…bummer. He’s been good mostly.
And no review, of course.
Wisconsin QB situation looks good now that GA is out of town! Sitake’s D carve up lol.
Hallelujah! They took a knee in the endzone. Playee had to stop AP though so the returner is not neing coached right to not run anything out.
The read fake by the QB isn’t faking anyone. Gonna get one of our RBs hurt.
Ah yes, Luton can throw the deep ball…
Is it just me or does our pre snap motion only serve to help telegraph to the defense exactly what the play will be? And the motion always looks to be at half speed.
Luton: “Hey, I’ll stomp my foot like Clever Hans, that will signal to you Ryan to shuffle off to the right and prepare to block for our running back who is going to go to the same side as well. The defense will never see this one coming. Ready….set…..hike!”
It still works 1000000000x better than the everybody standing still here comes the pass play.
Seth Collins with a positive impact there.
These run plays are frustrating. Line up behind center. Jesus
I’ve seen enough of Tre Johnson’s happy feet.
Quick slants working great!!!
Refs are getting nervous about Beavs gaining some momentum.
If the Beavs would just commit to running Nall and Pierce they might have a real shot at winning, but it won’t happen.
Well he clearly didn’t catch it. Half on him, half on Luton for an inaccurate ball.
What the fuck is taking so long?
I’ve seen enough of Jake Luton. He doesn’t have anything better than any of our other QBs. He throws hard but not accurate. WRs can’t catch in stride and have to adjust too much.
Feel like these refs are working against us. They took forever to decide to review and gave wsu an extra long timeout. Pierce out of bounds should have been a “call stands” type of play.
We don’t need the refs to crush us in addition to our coaches.
Agree this crew is really bad. No way there was enough to overturn Pierce.
Wow. Pac12 ref keystone cops show.
Refs basically gave WSU a halftime worth of rest there.
4 down territory. Or should be.
//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
Can’t wait to see us elect to punt on this upcoming 4th and short
LOL
Collins is a punk… needs to shut the F up.
I like it. Someone needs to get pissed off
3rd and 2 pass. lol. it worked but lol
Pass worked but that was a horrible play call.
Nice. They can hang with the Cougs if they keep running.
There we go. Just give it to Nall.
Hodgins and Villamin holding the same defender there to assist Collins on that 1st. Refs blew that one in our favor
About time we get a no call going our way. Right?
Ball ball!!
Nall 11 carries 5.5 ypc. Ummm….
Pound it til they make you stop.
Let Hudson keep playing.
That roughing call was stupid. Will only wake Falk up. Last year he torched us only after getting beat up
These refs working against us again. That PI was BS. Hand fights all game and that ball wasn’t catchable. That said the roughing call was right.
I didn’t see roughing or PI, and I tried being objective. Announcers didn’t see it, either.
Need to get more hits on Falk.
Refs are shit.
Cant help thinking none of this matters if Mr Hyde shows up in the 2nd half.
Better review that catch. Looked out of bounds at time of reception
Aw fuck it, just let them have it with no review
Beavs showing their lack of game IQ.
Who is #2? Is that Arnold? He’s terrible
Edit: Wilson
Wilson. And yes he’s bad.
Defense killing themselves.
Hudson is the best player on the defense.
Good thing Fall missed cuz #2 wasn’t doing anything about it.
Cue up the INT in the 2 minute drill hopefully not a pick 6.
Yeah that WR was out of bounds on the big catch. They just showed it. GA didn’t review it. So that’s two reviews GA missed.
Isn’t that the whole purpose of the review? To prove if a catch actially occurred of it’s questionable?
Refs amd GA both blew that. Seemed easily like a review worthy play in live action, yet everybody just says “ho hum….play on”
Get the punter a one-way ticket back to Australia asap.Incredible special teams fail
Looking to fuck up this last drive. WSU starts with the ball and drives to go up 28-9 and bang, game.
Mcgiven must be jizzing in his little boy boxers. 2 minute drill = all passes.
Falk makes Luton look like Lamar Latrell.
Unreal
Meltdown commencing
Garbage.
lol. Done with this.
Lol. Wow. Implosion time.
D once again awful field position…expect a give up at half time.
Oregon State… We played a half. Game is over right?
Glad to watch the implosion start before halftime today. One step forward, twelve steps back.
For fuck sake
If the Cougs had scored fast enough they might be able to get the ball again this half when we fumble the kickoff or something
It’s hard to blame the D, IMO.
Field position, awful ST, inept coaches/coordinators, and O ineptitude.
The nice thing about blame is there’s always an endless supply. You don’t have to choose. It’s everyone’s fault!
Holy shit. Beavers look like a Pop Warner team.
Someone’s gotta get fired
Fire McGiven. Bench Luton.
Offense isn’t giving the Defense a chance and the D knows it.
What will it take for changes on the staff?
How come we can’t get pressure at all? I don’t mean just this game but other games too. It’s embarrassing.
In other news, cougs almost covered by halftime.
Dude these guys push off every fucking play and they just let them.
Pretty much every judgment call by the refs has gone against us. Gotta protect the ranked team, I guess. Sure we’d still be losing if called equally, but it doesn’t change the fact that the refs are crap.
It’s like when hole’s receivers would hold every single play, it’s happening in four spots of the field on every down so they just let it go?
Yeah even my non-football watching wife noticed. She’s goes….”The team is holding and pushing just as much….but you guys get penalty”. Yeah no shit. And Leach bullied the refs review on the that dropped ball. Fucking horse shit!!!
Two TDs by WSU in final 1:30 of the half. That’s on GA or ‘on him’ as he would say and is an utter failure. GA needs to go if a coordinator isn’t gone within 3 weeks.
Remembering with fondness the Mark Banker defense.
PBH,,, out. Talk you all tomorrow as we sort out the wreckage.
When the offense was running two back sets and motion every play and running the ball the offense looked good.
Then this shit.
Can’t do that too much. We got a gunslinger QB. /s
WSU did’nt get the snap off in time but no penalty and no review?
GA needs to retire. Name Baldwin interim head coach. Reassess in the off season.
So a WSU substitution penalty essentially gives them a 2nd chance to squib it and hope to get a special teams turnover score with no time left?
Only benefits the Cougs to replay that, right?
GA is all talk. “Respect the process”. What process? Don’t even know what the fuck you’re doing.
Respect the losses
Hinkie!!!!
Who’s having a drink?
Many Hefeweizen and gumbo.
IPAs for days.
https://www.leafly.com/indica/pennywise
I just had a protein shake. A few more and I should be able to start on the O-line.
I’m having a cup of coffee but there’s Kahlua in the pantry…
Let’s give Banker a call.
Who is the deep threat on offense? That seems to hinder the o because the d doesn’t have to respect it. The best drive was the one where they ran and got ap in the open field.
OSU doesn’t have a QB who can “hit” a deep threat.
He hit them before but i know what u mean. But do we ever run post routes? Where is tyner? May as well put him at wideout and get him on the field.
Out with a hammy.
This guy GA a fool
So uh… when is women’s basketball season?
Our QB is not good
Are u on the team?
JockItch would like a word with you
You are not real…. go away and play with your duck PJs.
Ask your mom how real I am. Punk ass bitch
Your IQ dropped in half to 37 when you said that!
Luton’s sideline fades are uselessly inaccurate. Don’t recall any post routes. Receivers are getting open to no avail if the QB can’t get them the ball.
Did anyone mention that Pierce downed that kickoff in the end zone with ZERO seconds on the clock. I guess if you are a defeated team, you think he’s going to fumble and Wazzu will scoop and score?
my thinking exactly. It will take weeks for OSU to recover from this disaster. They might be able to pull things together by the time ASU comes to town. 2-10
when even Jim Wilson is talking about “how close” the Beavs are you have to wonder if it’s true or he’s just being polite to Mike Parker
Start Garretson, run the football, pass it sometimes.
That’s the only reason i’ll watch the 2nd half. To see if we go full McGivemln/Luton pass happy, or if we try running it more with DG to minimize further damage.
So funny that we were within 14-9 with a few minutes to go and I had a glimmer of hope that we could take that score to half time, but we managed to completely destroy any momentum we had.
For the most part, the Beavers don’t look physically over matched to me. Except the DL. They are getting handled…again.
looking forward to seeing how McMaryon does tonight vs. UW
I say Lockette for Interim HC. Give him the keys to a junk Cadillac and let him start making wheelies. I am sure he would at least run more and hold the OC accountable.
Then go get Beau in the offseason unless Telly wins 3 Pac-12 games including the Civil War.
At the game… downing that ball after electing to have them rekick is a summary of our coaching. All Beavs at our end let out a simultaneous wtf?
Well at least you can go buy beer right outside the stadium at half-time.
What’s truly depressing about this situation is that WSU, as Angry once said, is OSU’s doppleganger. The test of OSU’s competitiveness is how they stack up vs. WSU virtually any single year. Long way to go, it would seem.
The only pass Luton can complete is the 10 yard pass, and he throws it 100mph and always on the wrong shoulder so the WR is twisted and can’t get any YAC. He’s alright at that throw, can’t make any others…these bozos analyzing talent picked him.
We need to get out of the Ohio State game. Can’t win 1 game this year vs PSU and then go on the road and get killed by Ohio State to start next season. We also have no QB (I like Petras, but he’s probably 2 years off). This is the worst of times.
go for an onside here
since WSU is little threat to run the Beavs should send two LB’s on a blitz every play
hey, Jamire Calvin is on the field. I forgot about him.
Jay Irvine is killing us and WSU is pickin on him (good coaching), especially on 3rd down.
I very seldom comment even though I have followed AB for a long time. I have to say Angry called this from the start of the season, GA has a new toy and he wants to play with it. Luton is not a Pac12 QB and it has cost us all year. Combine this with poor coaching and you have this shit show. WSU is not as good as past years and we have had opportunities to be in this game but Luton missing targets and terrible decisions by coaching and here we are looking like a bottom feeding football team. I really think there is enough talent on this team to be a contender in most games but not with this leadership.
Why keep bringing 3 against the QB? Also, we don’t have a single talented CB on our roster. This blows.
Why can we not evenly distribute carries to our running backs… pierce with no first half carries? Coaching staff is so inept and bad.
Nice that the D was able to keep wsu off the board there. Haven’t (Mc)given up yet!
Nice block. I feel there are some positives on D in this game. Sack, block, should have had at least 2 INTs (“get on the jugs machine”, the announcer chides), etc. Yeah, points and yards suck, but given the O is putting them in terrible position it’s expected. I’m most concerned about the future due to QB play not the D. We have no QB in the pipeline. OSU should be able to go out and recruit the best JC QB in America. They can and will start here next year. Should be able to get a 5-star HS QB and sell him on playing time/changing this program. But no, GA instead wants to pretend he’s so good at spotting QBs he found a guy no other P5 program offered, as he runs a legit P5 QB out of town.
We are SO fucked.
We’re beyond fucked. Everyone bring their furniture and get comfy we’re going to be cellar dwellers for the foreseeable future.
Couple of Oregon turnovers in their own territory keeping Wyoming close early. 14-10 quacks toward end of 1st
What? A pass play and sack on first down? Weird.
Oregon/Wyoming is only 14-10. Doubt Wyoming can hang and they’ll probably lost by 40, but I always thought that coach was a good fit for that program. They play disciplined and good football, even when getting killed, which can keep them in a lot of games.
I thought Wyoming had a better shot at beating Oregon than OSU had of beating WSU.
If I knew anything about Wyoming I could comment on that.
I know they were pretty good a few years ago, and every time I watch them they seem really well coached. No idea if they have legit playmakers or who they gained/lost this year on the roster.
Good QB.
Why didn’t we recruit him?
Looks like he was a JC kid who had no other offers than Wyoming.
Collins had to twist backwards to make that catch on the move. Nice adjustment by him. Should have been more YAC though
Haha. Nall is so good. People were questioning if he’d make an NFL roster. Hilarious. Given that level of analysis they’d be a good fit on GA’s staff.
Nall being projected as a fullback. Probably has to do with him being white (see Toby Gerhart).
Agree, it’s racism. Just like any white WR is Wes Welker.
Steve Largent disagrees with your comment.
That was all Nall!
Luton being a running threat really opening things up for Nall there.
Just give it to Nall and let him open it up.
Who was that RB who carried the ball down the field, evaded defenders, and scored a touchdown?
We should give him the ball more….
We so need a 3 and out from our D right now.
12-111 for Nall.
Go figure. Dumb asses still passing on first down is ridiculous.
yep. only 10 yards per carry
Wow, that was a great play by Wilson.
Then he completely whiffs.
Lol. That other play was so impressive, though.
Maybe he’s just playing too early but has potential? No clue. This is such a shit storm you can’t make any deductions.
#17 held him the whole fucking time too, no flag.
Announcers make the astute observation that pursuit angles are off. It’s like Pankey type angles.
Game commentators says: Osu has too many missed tackles and bad persuit angles. Yes, yes they do.
Austin Hudson is the Ryan Nall of the defense.
Can’t duck your head at the point of impact, they have to see what they are hitting in order to make the tackle
That #8 WR is killing us…
OK let’s quit saying “the defense is not playing that bad”
Well that one is on the D.
Awful on a 3rd and 22. Clune’s head should be on the chopping block.
I would be embarrassed to call myself a football coach if I was on this staff.
Falk says “When I play Oregon State im the GOAT.”
Only rushing 3. Giving him all day. Need to bring pressure on 3 and forever.
Can we kick all the cornerbacks off the team for that last play?
I wonder what the record is for one QB’s TD’s vs. a single opponent. Falk has got to be approaching that if he doesn’t own it already
Well crap. I leave the room for a couple of minutes and miss Nall’s TD. One hell of a run.
lol 3rd and 22 against the Beavs.. we got them right where we want em
Ducks pulling away and get the refs on board with an awful call. Should get reversed. Looks like they might have knocked the WY QB out of the game.
“A QB who can beat you with his arm, legs, mind.”….
I cant’ believe they are reviewing this play
He was clearly short.
they HAVE to go for it here
No questions we suck, but it also feels like the refs are taking every chance they can to screw us over.
the one play where you need a McMaryon keeper
If only he could throw it 50 yards out of bounds he’d be the starter.
If only he could throw it 20 yards to anyone, he’d be the starter.
Why are all our our questionable calls reviewed but theirs aren’t?
Because their coach asks?
Wondered the same.. that’s how it goes when you suck j guess.
That’s where Luton should’ve kept the ball and ran for the 1st.
you mean a QB who can beat you with his legs and mind?
Leach calling off the dogs with a run play. Dennis ERickson would have thrown long there
Atrocious blocking on that play.
Not really.
Atrocious call.
Trips right, run over your naked LT.
Yeah.
The main problem Nall will have in the NFL is that his body won’t hold up.
Wonder what the excuses will be this time. “It’s on me. But the players didn’t execute.”
This is gonna be a long 2 weeks before UW for the staff. I’m hoping for some changes.
Do the university a favor and resign GA.
Was there any chance Herbert would have considered OSU? I know we didn’t even try to recruit him.
Dont think so. He is from Eugene area loves the ducks.
The OSU football twitter is so embarrassing. haha. They just mention the good stuff. They’re talking about the Nall TD when WSU has scored like 200x since then.
In fairness, you wouldn’t expect any team’s football twitter to document their butts getting whooped, would you?
McGiven needs to be either demoted or fired after this game. Also, we’re going to need Luton to get injured, because it’s clear at this point that the coaching staff will always play him over anyone else as long as he’s healthy.
Do John Rushing or Cory Hall have jobs on Monday?
Falk has 22 tds against us. Why run when you can throw all day on us.
I like GA. I’d be all on board with keeping him 5 years if he had the slightest fucking clue about QBs and would look outside of Utah State for coaches. Those are both his demise.
Hey, Luton with another 50 yard deep ball out of bounds. Glad we ran the boring game manager out of town in favor of said deep ball.
so, this is a point in the game where you concede defeat, and try to get out of town without embarrassing yourself. you do that by trying to make the running game work. This staff, thinking the game can still be made respectable, will go pass, pass, pass, and since that is what WSU is expecting, it will fail
Im glad Luton is so much like Falk said no one ever.
GA said it, and some bozos here who were just upset that I liked McM as the best option on the roster.
OSU needs to seriously consider the Mountain West. Maybe they can sign an agreement to move there for a few years then come back to the PAC. Haha.
Holy shit. We have to go TO OHIO STATE to start next year. We should be playing Idaho St that week.
Don’t think the Pac-12 would allow it, since it would deprive them of a great cupcake.
Thanks BDC.
Yep, BCD screwed us over even after he is gone.
Give me a break. Please tell me what serious benefit there is to going Mountain West. I hear this a lot and it’s ridiculous. WSU had a monumentally bad program less than a decade ago – worse than us this year, and they turned it around. Think they wish they joined the MWC or WAC?
AB is often either extremely reactionary or just really likes hot takes at times.
is Falk done or does he go for 7-8 TD’s
Can we actually let Garreston have a shot to run the offense?
LOL
NOW can we let Garreston into the game. Luton fell over like a sad paper bag.
wouldn’t you too at this point? wouldn’t any of us?
Yeah he should have totally picked up that blitz.
that was truly pathetic. guy’s terrible. has he fumbled every game?
Luton might be the worst QB to ever play at OSU.
At least in the modern era/end of the streak.
Remember OSU was the only D1 to offer Luton a QB schollie. There is a reason why we were the only ones to offer him.
But he’s tall
how about Ryan Katz he was pretty bad too if I remember right
good call
How about all our QBs in 2015?
He’s so bad. They missed so so bad.
The funny (sad) part about all of this is the “those poor bastards” circle jerk.
Barry Alvarez is a genius, apparently.
This whole having a football team at OSU thing just ain’t working
Yep, I’m with JockItch. You’re one of those trolls. Pretty obvious.
Can’t take Luton out now cuz, the Beavs are now playing catch-up so they need someone who can get the ball deep.
Our football team literally has no history of being good. Present day we have no identity whatsoever. You could say that since Erickson bailed on us. Need to have some sort of plan here.
by pure coincidence I became a fan in 1999. I was aware of the long history of futility but never thought there would be a reversion to the 1970’s and ’80s, but friends, we’re there.
Luton who staff is locked into despite if he turns it over 10 times a game, fumbles and WSU scores another easy TD by picking it up and running for 40+ yards.
This is the kind of play, after numerois examples of why Luton should have been pulled already, of why either McGiven or GA should be fired after this game.
BEYOND INEXCUSABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GA leaves him in the game, which sends the message that awful play is rewarded if you’re hand picked by GA.
Everybody just got their wish
Yeaaaah no.
What wish? My wish is in Fresno.
Luton is not capable of playing at this level. Andersen, Mcgiven and Clune are not capable of coaching at this level. Hence we are an embarresment. I feel bad for the players. I really feel we are better than this shit show!
Funny how Any other QB would’ve been pulled at the first incompletion.
+1000
Yep, fans would have been screaming for weeks to put in McM who should be on our team. GA could give a shit how many turnovers Luton has. What an effin joke.
Start Garretson and give yourself a decent game manager. Luton is honestly the worst game manager I have seen in 40 years of watching football.
GA said he wasn’t interested in a game manager which is assinine. Not interested in keeping GA employed if he thinks this is how you lead or win at football.
The QB MUST BE A GAME MANAGER YOU IDIOT!!!
Haven’t watched 40 years, but in the ~15 years I have watched Luton is the worst QB I have seen. One thing Riley was really good at was spotting QBs (other than missing on Moore).
Speaking of fallen coaches revived programs. There is one out there, how low do you think OSU would go to get one?
Golly Beavs, my schedule should be freeing up next year. Let’s give it another try for old time’s sake!
third time is a charm right?
Sweater Vest.
I’ve been thinking of going back to school for a law degree. Now realize I need to pick USC, Washington, or Oregon and just end this OSU thing. It’s the only way, because OSU can’t get out of their own way, so I’ll have to get out of theirs.
Well McGivens gets what he wants. Passing downs all the way now.
Ap wide open. Throw it to the guy in triple coverage.
He got knocke out!
WOW. GA got Luton seriously concussed.
This was the only way DG was getting into the game.
Yep. Wow…
Sadly.
Yes very sad. Puts everything in proper prospective.
Wow, that was a nasty head hit. Hate to see that shit, but Luton shouldn’t have been upright at that point
He hit him with his shoulder but put his head down and led with the crown of his helmet.
Guys he might be paralyzed….
Was just thinking that haven’t seen him move.
His neck snapped back so hard looked pretty brutal
I respect Luton trying his best but he should have been pulled a quarter ago or earlier today. Any otger staff would have sent in the backup before this happened. GA being a stubborn ass when the guy has had such a long day was flat out not the right decision.
Prayers for Luton. Shouldn’t require scaring all of Beaver Natiok about a potential life changing injury for GA to just have common sense.
Why was that even a debate about targeting with the announcers? Moore got called last week on a guy going down and tried to check up. This fucker left his feet.
I am sick of watching Luton as much everyone else but he may have broken his neck…
RanYakumo and HireMattWells must be jumping up and down for joy right now.
Bullshit refs. That WSU player hit his head. It’s right there on video. Unbelievable. Refs should be suspended for the numerous horrible biased calls this game.
If I was Gary Anderson I would trash this conference and these refs. I would say my guys played their guys out and then the refs rigged the game. They then took away a targeting call at the league office. I would create an absolute shit storm. I would lobby for Thompson to lose his season.
I really hope Luton isn’t paralyzed. As a Jets fan I watched that with Byrd. Awful.
Sad. A lot of people here been calling for Lutons head, and the coaching staff delivered it. He was just a kid who wanted to play QB in D1.
It’s part of the job, man. QB always gets criticism. In this case it was deserved, and much of that was on GA for picking him without any reason.
Okay Luton moved. That’s great.
Never saw his feet move. Scary.
First guy to give the thumbs up was paralyzed at the waist and knew it when he put the thumb up.
That’s fucked up.
Shouldn’t have even been in as this game was well out of reach.
This game should probably be called. Refs demonstrated that malicious hits won’t be punished. You are now allowed to take dirty hits.
Garrettson looks so much better haha
Garretson made football look easy. I know it’s garbage time, but that was the most crisp qb play from an OSU QB I’ve seen in years.
Yep. It’s painful to think how the season might be if GA started McM, had Garrettson as the backup, and let Luton learn. Or even Garettson as the starter. I mentioned a few weeks ago I thought he should be the starter over Luton and some jerk laughed. Clearly he’s better at QBing, which entails a lot more than throwing hard or far.
Why would he start MM when we have Garretson?
MM has corrected some of his major issues, but he still has issues that make him a back-up at best.
Luton could have learned if he had remained at Idaho. The Petrinos know quarterbacks, which is perhaps why he didn’t put Luton in place when he (Luton) was a freshman. And, as I recall, when asked for a statement during (or soon after?) Luton’s signing, Paul Petrino basically said nothing.
Petrinos kid was the starting QB and only a sophomore. Luton wasn’t going to play much.
Um for the third time don’t bother writing me about inquiring into the officiating.
Who is Garretson’s backup?
Blount. Then Aidan Willard.
Forgot about Blount. Thanks
Willard is like Luton 2.0. Big, tall, huge arm, and no brains or accuracy. At least that’s what I saw on film.
Blount is a walk-on. The odds of him being good are slim. OSU should go with Garrettson no matter what the rest of the way, and hope Petras can play as a freshman. Petras is the first GA QB who looks promising.
Agree on petras. I think luton could be good next year however. Personally i think he has showed steady improvement. Petras as a redshirt sophomore or frosh could make a huge difference.
Jake Luton gets hurt… and the beavers become a better team…
Not really.
You can only imagine they were a little juiced with emotion.
Ok boys, mark this on your calendar. This is the beginning of the turnaround of the Beavers’ season.
Seth fights through blatant PI for a TD.
I hope Luton is alright. I dont like to see any player hurt.
Why put Falk out there and risk injury? Refs won’t do anything about dirty hits…
*against beavers
I’m not surprised that this happened the way the OL has been playing. I won’t be surprised if DG gets hurt too before the season is over.
The 3rd and 4th string guys better be getting ready.
Luton’s injury wasn’t on the OLine. He was in the open field running away from protection and didn’t get down early enough.
Yeah had nothing to do with OL, and the OL has given enough holes to put up solid rushing stats again. Mostly protected Luton, too.
Too many times today he was getting pressure and being flushed out of the pocket. IMO that’s on the OL.
That’s normal football. Watch an NFL game. QBs get flushed. It’s par for the course.
I don’t remember a ton of sacks, and the OL let the RBs run to a 5.0 average.
Nice, Washington/Fresno next. I hope McM gets in at some point. That starter seems awful.
And 2 more minutes of DG ball. Wish he had a few more minutes to show what we’ve been missing
Watch them call all run plays now.
Ducks destroy Wyoming.
That’s the halftime score, lol….
I know, I should have written destroying, but I’m drinking.
You can pretty much tally the halftime score as the final for them.
So question, we have a bye week coming up and who will be our QB against UW?
Probably DG.
Luton in a neckbrace if McGivint makes the call
Call me crazy, but I think if we started McM (where he here) or Garrettson we’d be 2-2 right now. Possibly 3-1.
I don’t think people understand that an efficient O that can move the chains and maintain field position changes entire outcomes of games. Yeah the D looks awful, but they’d look a lot better if these things happened at the QB position. I don’t blame Luton himself. I blame GA and McGiven for awful analysis.
I thought Luton had moments against csu. I liked watching him work through progressions. He got hesitant and regressed after that. Should know to move on from there. Honestly, Garrettson was decent for us last year before he was beat up over the first few games. I love an offense that is efficient and plays field position and TOP. Garrettson could do that for us. A lot more to look forward to than there has been.
That CSU secondary was reportedly awful (people used stats from last year to back this up). To my eye, that secondary looked totally beatable with a viable QB. People need to get this through their head: the offense was responsible for 27 of the points vs CSU. And that’s just direct points off turnovers, etc. Never mind field position. And people want to blame the D dealing with that at elevation? I don’t buy it. Good QB play and we’re in that game. I think the players knew that and it’s why they quit. GA handing Luton the job was a huge error/problem. We actually have a chance to improve now, because I think the players respect Garrettson.
Hard to argue against this. I know that you and others had predicted McM would transfer. At the time, I thought that was a drastic perspective. When he moved on it changed the entire dynamic of this team and it appears that it will be a massive struggle to recover from.
I would like to know if GA was the prime mover in the selection of Luton as the starter or if that was McGiven.
How about delusional instead. Dude, you accuse others of having a hard on for players ON the team you don’t care for but here you are continuing to slob all over MCM’s knob and he’s at Fresno St now?
Like a jilted ex lover. Let it go and move on.
Ignore coaches not picking the best QB? Yeah you get what you deserve if that’s your attitude.
“Let the massive error slide because he’s not here” is some of the dumbest logic I’ve heard. Completely failing to see he isn’t here because of the error. Good job, Whiskey. Might want to take a longer break and get your head straight.
I didn’t watch the game. I’d say my head is on straight for that reason alone.
Quit drinking.
I’d like to express a tepid Fuck WSU and a wholehearted Fuck the refs. Wheee.
Let’s add fuck the pac12 offices. The central office reviewed that play and somehow decided it wasn’t targeting. If that isn’t evidence that the conference is against us then I don’t know ow what is.
Good news. Luton moved all extremities at the hospital.
He still needs to watch from the sideline for atleast the next 4 weeks.
Playing him would be reckless as he needs to heal 100% and not risk a serious reinjury.
GA even thinks of playing him before mid October then Barnes should FIRE GA on the spot.
I’d be VERY surprised if McGiven or Clune isn’t fired/demoted by the next game.
Good time to do it with the bye week. It has to happen.
But what’s the point of of promoting someone from within? And is there anyone out there who would come on board given the circumstances?
I think Clune is safe.
Mcgiven needs to be replaced.
Not sure about Clune. GA was following him around in practice all week…several busted plays this week. TBH I thought the D looked very good in between the busted plays. 3 sacks, should have had at least 2 INT where it not for nerves/inexperience. I mean that’s progress. I’d fire McGiven first. He never deserved the position, and my guess is he’s in GA’s ear giving input on QBs. That type of (poor) analysis needs to go ASAP. Lots of “ums” in interviews, too. Not sure he’s a smart guy.
–he’s in GA’s ear giving input on QBs–
This is what I think. I also think he’s the primary driver of all things related to scheme. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out he’s the Rasputin who had Baldwin exiled to inside receivers.
It’s conspiracy central. But it’s the only thing that makes sense right now.
Wait, how is Ted Robinson at the Washington game? Didn’t he just call the WSU game?
Now we know why Pac-12 network production quality is so bad, they spent all their money developing a transporter.
The best look today was the two back set with guys in motion. Should make that the base.
Didn’t even bother to watch the game. Glad I didn’t from the sound of you ladies
You’re just jealous someone stole your big boy panties
I haven’t watched a non-Beav game in 5 years, but I might check out Washington to see if McM plays. That starter looks awful. Curious if Tedford continues to mess up, too.
Glad I couldn’t watch. Anyone know where to get a press conference feed so I can get my weekly masochism in?
Were there any glimmers of hope in this one, or was it basically just more of the same garbage?
The glimmer of hope was Garrettson played better than Luton and the D had 3 sacks and missed on at least 2 easy INTs. I have 3, but it’s debatable whether the 3rd was easy. Horse shoes and hand grenades…
It’s sad that missing easy INT’s is what passes for a glimmer of hope this year.
Looks like Nall had a great day again. Eggers says Luton showed progress today, but his numbers look like he just played safer (5 YPA?!)
Eggers is smoking something. If anything Luton regressed today.
In health, yes. He looked more decisive today.
A few glimmers – on the order of fireflies.
This Fresno QB is so bad haha.
Surprised there was no retaliation after the Luton hit. Kinda telling….
Yup. Says that although the team has sportmenship, they are soft.
Telling that we don’t have a bag of dicks for a roster.
Alabama making CSU look like OSU
everyone makes OSU look like OSU
This Fresno QB is soooo bad. What is Tedford thinking?
That he doesn’t have any good QBs on the roster.
But we all know Tedford has always sucked at evaluating QBs.
San Diego State beating ASU and now Stanford. Not a big fan of Rocky Long for head coach, by may want to look at some of the assistants — doing more with less.
