Biggest game of Jonathan Smith’s career? Big time statement possible (but not probable). Nonetheless…
Go Beavs!
Note: Washington’s D is anywhere from 40th to 57th depending what list you look at, so while they appeared physical in the games I watched, maybe they’re not so good after all. That seems pretty middle of the road. Let’s see if the stats lie.
Kolby Taylor, Shemar Smith, Tyjon Lindsey out for OSU tonight.
What happened to Lindsey?
No idea, was surprised at the news. It came from Lazy Steve Gress who re-tweeted info from Nick Daschel
Ouch losing Lindsey hurts. Irish needs to step up.
Or Bradford?
Agreed.
Early in the week JS said Bradford would play tonight. That puts him down to 2 more games before he cannot claim redshirt. Interesting delima for JS and TB, especially if Beavs don’t get the W tonight.
No worries we have an NFL QB.
Chase Young (Ohio State sack leader) suspended one game for NCAA violation. Hoping Hamelcar adds to his sack total and makes a run at the national sack lead by end of the year (somebody’s got a trophy for this right?).
Rodent magic in the air. Beavs with the upset, against all logic. Go Beavs!
Peterson rocking Riley’s patented “cold old man bundled up in a jacket look.” Good omen?
Who thought the stupid logo could worse?
There’s that pocket mobility nfl scouts were raving about
I think we know what Luton showed up tonight. Hope I’m wrong.
Gotta say Luton begins with two mistakes: Throws behind Hodgins and then takes an unecessarily deep sack.
Good stop.
Whatever happens the rest of the way you can tell the D has improved confidence out of the gate.
If the offense keeps going three and out, that confidence will go away fast.
Yeah. Still good to see when looking for small signs of progress. They usually come out flat and tentative.
Agree they look much better.
Bad play calling thus far.
Can say the same for play execution.
Washington’s defense is a little better than Arizona’s
Eason got lit up there by Roberts
Where is Whittley?
Eating dinner
Eason’s arm is our best defender.
That won’t change only if he gets hit at the same rate as so far. Break his confidence and Beavs will get a pick, let him regain his confidence and…..
Parker says Luton was at fault in that incomplete to Bradford.
Thanks captain obvious
Btw, not meant for you oob
100%.
He was also at fault for dumping off to AP when he was blanketed and had no chance at 1st down yardage.
No shit!
What a troll
Yup, but the real question is why wouldn’t you run it on 3rd if you are going to go for it on 4th
He was. Missed him completely. Then threw to pierce to quickly. Barely looked downfield.
Replay showed Togiai open in the flat.
He missed a wide open receiver on 3rd down.
They could be driving to go up 7-3 and instead now the D is back on the field. Sigh
Luton…
Nuff said
I dont like this gamble this early
Dumb
Stupid gamble
No man’s land
Luton’s not looking like an NFL QB so far. He’s killing our drives.
… And our defense on the field to much already. No run game. Same oh same oh
Luton has already cost us. He is missing receivers and throwing early because he is scared.
Washington gets a short field. Puts too much pressure on the defense. Basically just gave UW a guaranteed 3 or more.
Not against this defense!
I stand corrected. Great series for the D. Imagine is we had been 40 yards downfield on that drive
Or 20, had a punt gone in the endzone
Defense is playing nasty. I like it!
Angry@angry where you at?
Bubble bath?
Pat Casey’s driveway holding a sock monkey.
Yeah where is the triumvirate?
Awfully quiet just like utah and cal.
anger management class
I like the hard hits our D is dishing out tonight. Been awhile since we’ve seen a Beaver team hitting with confidence
D looking better and better. I like it. Now it’s on Luton to step up.
Isn’t this where some coaches would let Luton watch JUST ONE series to see if it makes a positive difference in Luton’s play?
Credit where it’s due. That was some nice improv.
‘Ball was tipped’ hahaha I think that was the patented jl spiral
I’m thinking we will not be seeing all tds this game. Hayes needs to be mentally ready.
Too many passes on first down, run the fucking ball!!!
Another dropped INT dude is so lucky
It’s the patented wobble throw.
Jake got the two Huskies dbs to smash each other, genius
That should’ve been a pick
Tago, nice tackle on the punt.
Good punt, Nice ST coverage.
Nice to see the D holding up its side of the game so far.
AP looks like he’s trying to do too much at the line. He needs to point it toward the end zone and pull the trigger.
I don’t like the play calling so far. Backwards. Run on 3td and 22. Come on man. Run the friggin ball on 1st down!
turnover right here, let’s go. Help out the O and get the Huskies squirming.
Beav D due for a turnover!!!
Wright with the int!!
Clean play, Eason may implode
Boy, replay made it look like it touched turf
Defense bailing out the offense again today. Great play by Wright to time the jump
AB’s called it!
D came to play…let’s go O
I’ll be fucked. An INT?!?
Time for trick play!
I wasted my turnover call on that?????
Me too! Damn!
Commentators talking Luton up quite a bit…
Guess they don’t as much about QB play as the Angry Waterboy.
I’m ready for Gebbia
Can’t replay UH, waste the effort of others.
Gebbia time. Won’t happen though…
And if we lose I’ll be in Smith.
It’s clear we have bad Luton so have balls and make the move.
He’s already in pout mode. Like OOB said, let him sit a series and get his head on straight, at the very least. He looks like the game is moving too fast for him right now.
What do you know? Luton can’t play against good defenses. 6’7 deer in the headlights. It’s almost as if someone on this blog called it all along..
Luton threw so far behind Hodgins there it actually hit the DB in the butt
Is that considered targeting?
This will be another loss on the coaches.
Imagine if on just one of those rpo’s, the qb could keep it and get a quick 7 yards. Makes second down manageable and the defense would have to stay honest instead of crashing down.
Winnable ball game if we had a qb
Fuck Luton.
And shame on Lindgren, pissing all over Tibesar’s efforts with these shit play calls.
A little too far, but I agree with the sentiment.
Be nice if Luton could keep it just once on rpo to keep defense honest
We’re wasting a really bad half by UW with an even worse one.
D isn’t going to keep getting stops so try to get QB productivity here. Times a wasting and opportunity passing before our eyes.
Lindsey out due to ribs, JJ is OK
How bad is Jefferson’s injury
Cleared to play
Wasn’t Hodgins open and in the area of that throwaway on second down?
And here I thought Jake only had eyes for him
Another 3rd and long and they run the ball.
Horrible play calling
This is the biggest coaching fuck up of the year. My God. Luton is dog shit. I’d take Choukair at QB right now.
Apparently I have football comprehension dyslexia. I understood that the Beavs’ defense sucked but the offense was sensational.
Speights or Ham at QB? They came to play…
Luton is bad, play calling terrible, thank god for the defense.
Watch out for the Muppet voice by Eason
4th and 1 and 99 wasn’t even in the pile.
This loss on Smith and Luton…again.
It’s like Belichick and Brady in the Upside Down.
If you told me we would be down 10-0 at half I would be happy about that. Make some adjustments and get back in the game.
^^^ this
A nice adjustment would be Smith growing a sack and putting in Gebbia.
Settling for “lesser” losing is a losers mentality when you could have been winning.
That hurt my feelings.
Can’t keep asking the D to hold….get a damn score
D making some good hits, except for escorting Bryant for 10 yards into the end zone..
And Morris whiffed on that play
It really sucks when 10-0 at the half feels insurmountable.
O-line is the biggest problem. Repeat…BIGGEST problem.
They are getting their asses handed to them.
Agree.
Time for two back sets?
Time for a mobile QB?
Time to keep QB under center?
UW angling to score before half, then get ball 1st in 3rd QTR
could be 24-0 real quick
Smith and Luton just out-Smith and Lutoned themselves
What a shit call and throw.
dumb dumb dumb dumb
And that seals the game.
Ugh.
I’m unfortunately right again. With an exclamation point no less.
Gosh, where was Luton going to throw?!?
And Bradford’s back was turned..
Morris is on tonight, kept that from being a completions to force 3rd down.
Eason starting to feel good, get confident.
What happened to the center from AZ?
Thought he got hurt a few weeks ago.
He is ready and available. Coaches decision
He got hurt 2-3 weeks ago and made the trip last week to Arizona, but the coaches feel the line is doing fine without him….clearly he needs to be put back into the starting role. Btw I’m on my second 7 and 7 and had a guiness stout already in the first half. So I’m feeling better than the Oregon state offense.
Well, that just took the air out of the Beavers sails. Looks like the UW defense is more physical than our offensive line. Our defense is exhausted by now and can’t get rest from our offense. This game is on the offense 100%.
Gawwwwwd…..why not punt there?!?!?!?
We can’t any pass rush either.
LuToN iS oUr BeSt OpTiOn RiGhT nOw.
-your average dumbshit fan
Get that fucking quitter out of there.
Choukaired it!!!!!
Laces out!
Got lucky! Fuck me!!!! Dumbest play calling this year yet!!!
W kicker goes choukair… beavs still in this, bitches
I don’t know which is worse, the coaching or Luton. This is a winnable game if we had a qb. I do think we have to give credit to the defense and the defensive coaches.
The coaching is horrendous!
Sure, they deserve a lot of credit for not letting Washington run away with this game, but unless our defense can start scoring some points, it’s going to be a tough loss.
Well they sure as hell tried to give it away by going for it on 4th down. If you know you are going for it going into the series then running the ball twice makes a tone more sense. If it doesn’t payout at least you kill the clock. JS showed that they had no plan there, complete impulsive move – that doesn’t bode well for his overall coach think.
Offense has abandoned the running game from the start. 20 passes for 70 yards and 15 passing for 41 yards. Luton had Hodgins on at least 1 throw away and he has a mental clock of 3-5 seconds before he throws it away regardless of having an additional 3 seconds to throw down field. Luton also didn’t step up into the pocket or tuck and run on 3 occasions. The defense is looking good enough to be in this game, but the the offense is so inept that it forces the defense to be out on the field more often than not.
Luck! A miss!
Gebbia goddammit. And RUN the ball.
Time for Gebs to come in like Jonathan did oh a few years back on UW and put up 400+. Dream a little dream…
The good: defense looks great!
The bad: play calling
The ugly: play calling
Luton will be Luton….this is on the coaches.
Don’t worry guys. The beavs have a social worker waiting in the locker room to help Luton become a whole new man.
Our offensive line is being man handled. Not one offensive lineman is not getting their
ass handed to them. Add that to a qb who is scared and not mobile and you have a shit show
like this.
Where are the roll-out plays? Tight ends? Sweeps? Vanilla vanilla predictable. Pick one, you lose!
Angry was right again.
The defense has done everything that we and the coaches could ever ask of them. That half is probably the best half of defense they’ve played this season.
The offense, on the other hand, is just laying a gigantic egg. Some of it is Luton’s poor decision making, some of it is bad play calling (especially to start the game). Either Luton’s got to play smarter next half, or Gebbia should be put in his place.
At least three egregiously bad passes on Luton:
1) first play of the game behind Hodgins
2) 3rd down throws way too hard passes Bradford
3) Interception was baaaaad
Bradford had the disgusted stink face afterward.
Coach M is run game coord in addition to OL coach. He’s got work to do at halftime, also needs to lobby JS for more rushes.
The defense is playing tough, but they are not getting any pressure on Eason, so I’m not optimistic about the second half. As others have mentioned, the play calling is horrendous. Run the ball on first and fucking second down, quite doing that stupid deep dropback on first down and have the immobile stork get sacked. The o-line is outmanned on pass protection. No reason to go for it on 4th down either time, especially with those shitty play calls.
I would be happy with a roll- out or sweep…..
Trolls here got super stoked to jump all over Angry over luton’s “stats” lol, woopsie daisy
Bad timing for the trolls to come out right before the UW defense arrives in town
There are some really crappy defenses at the bottom of the P-12. We have to remember the Beavs beat Cal with less than 300 yards of offense. Cal was incompetent on offense. Luton has never risen above the mean. In his defense, the play calling is not doing him any favors tonight either.
He should be able to audible out of play calls and not just go with what’s called by Lindgren.
Coach Smith is either arrogant beyond belief, too chicken shit to admit he’s wrong, or dumber than a box of rocks if he doesn’t realize you need a QB with mobility in the game when your O-line is being manhandled. You need to attack them with speed.
Luton is quite literally holding the program back every minute he plays but I guess that’s cool for Luton fans. At least the NFL scouts can check this guy off their lists.
It’s telling that the most success we’ve had against Washington’s defense so far is when we’ve picked up the pace against them, as well as when Luton got the ball out fast. The offense as a whole needs to move quicker, but Luton seems to be slowing them down for the most part.
But he’s the 7th best passer in school history.
Was there even one non-pass first down in that first half. Keep doing that… I’m sure UW hasn’t noticed and will play run defense on 1st down. Seriously. I’d even settle for a screen pass on 1st down if you have to air the ball. 111 yards by offense in 1st half.
Nice kick off
WTF was that.?
I was in the men’s room. What happened?
Onside or squib….. 10/yards
Yuck
Sloppy attempt at an onsides kick………….FAIL
Sounds like a Smith error no reason to do that there.
Preemptive collective “Groan!” here for when Luton trots out on first offensive possession of 3 QTR.
The offensive coaching hasn’t done anything smart yet, why would they start now?
“Chainsaw’s out.”
Greeeat, now put it away.
They’re still using the cassette tape recording of the chainsaw from the 80’s.
Holding on a FG?
Hamelcar fucking up the special teams yet again. Get him off of SPTs….the dude is clearly out of his element, and doesn’t understand the rules.
That’s exactly what I thought & of course no reply to show it
Defensive holding the play is called dead on a FG??
How the fuck do you get called for defensive hold on a FG try?
We’re the Oregon State Beavers, we do the unthinkable!
D has already done a days work, gotta get a drive to give ’em some rest.
Only 41 yards rushing? Luton can’t block shit.
Give it up. Your boy is not good.
Then why aren’t they putting Gebbia in to save the day?
Jesus, that’s the million dollar question.
12-21 for 70 yds. Can’t throw for shit either.
Luton driving the tall bus. Gebbia on the bench. Wonder what Sears is thinking.
This is on Smith. D playing best game of season and he:
Goes on 4th down;
Squib kick;
Leaves Luton in.
D playing like this, think 4 QTRS, OT, not squibs, bad 4th diwn calls…
Hello, I’d like to order a fly sweep.
Thank you and goodbye.
Luton and Smith whining….
Yep. This may be Smith’s darkest hour of this season. Luton is who he is, but all blame is on the coach.
So some smart couch coaches above say we need to run it on first down. AND there you go. Two running plays for no yards. Easy to be smart on your couch.
Think before you speak. They know Luton is neutered, so they are bringing the pressure now; hence running will get stuffed. If the first down runs occurred in the first half there would be success.
A more mobile QB might neutralize that no? Hmm
Not gonna disagree with you there Angry
Ah that simple, I see. We really do need some smarter coaches then
Plus if you drink more, you get smarter on the couch.
JJ our most of the game and comes back in so was pretty obvious it was going to him. Gee, maybe that is when you pass on 1st down. Play calling sucks.
*JJ out. Sorry. On phone with wrong glasses. Can’t find login on my phone so can’t edit.
AGAIN, playing right into the defense with the vanilla play calling. That’s on the coaches.
Eason is not that good. Many throws are not on target to give his receivers a chance.
I guess they are accurate, right to Grant, oh yeah!!!!
Fuck yeah
Since the offensive woes are clearly on Luton why aren’t they putting Gebbia? All you smart guys should have an answer.
You’re dumb.
Something is wrong with him.
Answer the question if you know so much so much about football?
They don’t want to burn his season? He hasn’t played in 4 games, correct? JS saving him, but for what? Get him out there with some rollout passes.
Burn what season? He used his redshirt long ago.
Smith is just stubborn or stupid. Not sure which.
Why aren’t they putting him in??? Give him a shot, use his legs, anything different at this point.
oooohhhhh babyyyyyyy
Pick 6, D doing everything it can to save this one.
Who was that oldbeav who said the D could be the story tonight?
Indeed, who was it?!?
D just needs to score once more, then hold UW scoreless….
Grant
Linda Lovelace?
Anybody remember when Eason was the top rated overall recruit in the country?
Great D tonight.
Impressive from the 1st snap
Grant and the rest of the defense just decided to say “Screw it, we’ll win this ourselves.”
Holy shit! Pick 6!!!
Somebody on D need to go over to Luton and call him out: do your job or fake injury and sit down.
And give up a huge return on cue.
Why is Choukair kicking?!?
So Choukair just can’t kick. He can’t kick accurately and he can’t kick far. They has to be someone who can kick it high in the air and far all on the same kick.
Newton has some juice.
Joe Newton?
Defense on the field again….
Tibesar has them playing….
Somewhere near a Reser a cow is attempting difficult birth…
Luton has been bad but our offensive line and play calling have been just as bad. It is time to
see if we can adjust and win this, Washington is leaving the door open for us.
Gebbia should be coming in now. These coaches aren’t as smart as you guys but they have to had figured it out by now.
Now that’s the spirit!
Well played by punt receivers, good thing the ball bounced as planned!
A drive for TD by the O could put UW in catch up mode and give them thoughts of last few weeks failure at the end of games.
Where is the presnap movement get the defense looking around
The Defense is going to give up at some point.
We just reached that point.
3rd and 7 better than 3rd and 10+….run game isn’t going either.
How about a middle screen? Shovel pass?
Musgrave!
Yes something quick to TE
Game. D is gassed.
It’s really not their fault. Great effort by them.
Luton nut suckers will find someone else to blame now.
Agree. They have played great.
except the obvious offensive line implosion.
Yep and saw /called this in 1st quarter
Offensive line has been beyond horrible. Looks like men vs. boys
Lost 3 yds on the run back.
oh some misdirection, and the crowd goes wild
JJ going to be sore Sunday…
You dog!
Feels like an avalanche coming…..
Luton needs to sit and we need to see Gebbia to spark something different on offense.
Smith looks defeated. Luton like he wants to be somewhere else. Go there…
Confessional with RevBeav?
44 yards rushing through 3 quarters but it’s Luton’s fault. Not the O line getting dominated.
Do you even understand football?
Then use play action? I’ve seen Luton make ONE good throw in this game
Where do they get those freakish dlinemen? Their heads look proportionate, but the helmets barely fit.
If you still think Luton is a good QB after tonight you seriously need your head examined. Folds like a cheap tent vs an above average defense.
D is gassed. This game was there for the taking.
So even if Luton sucks, why only 44 yards rushing?
Think about it, they only have to defend one thing
Have they even tried the outside? I’ve only seen runs up the middle.
I get your point though. Why is the offensive play calling so vanilla?
I’m not blaming this all on Luton btw
Totally agreed. The play calling has been absolutely atrocious. I knew we’d lose as soon as the first play from scrimmage was a pass vs a run or screen or something that challenged the defense. Also the first 3 plays were passes and they gained about 2-3 yards total. This game is over and Washington will win this 28-10.
Brilliant coaches just keep trying the same things even if they don’t work over and over. They don’t try something different to create a spark.
We have a brilliant coach…
Put Gebbia in and roll him out and give Washington something else to defend. Luton is no threat to run
and our offensive line is being man handled. Gebbia gives us a running threat that the Huskies would have
to respect. Now Washington just over powers our line and Luton curls up in a ball or throws it 2 yds when we need 5
That would be smart, wouldn’t it?
At this point Peterson decides how much he wants to beat us by….
So what can’t any of you smart guys explain why they have less than 50 yards rushing through 3 quarters?
Scroll up. You’re a broken record, a stupid one at that.
Grow up son
Washington knows Luton can’t beat them so they load the box to stop the run.
Bingo.
Luton has time to throw?
No, because he can’t move his feet.
Luton doesn’t have time to throw.
Obviously the pocket is collapsing…Get the fuck out of the pocket.
I’m watching now because the D deserves it…
Huge stop. That’s the play of the year with how long they have been on the field
Way past time to see what the other qb can do. Nothing to loose at this point. Crap we onside kicked it to start the second half. If that doesn’t say let’s try anything I don’t know what does.
Does this game say more about where the Beavs are at or where the Huskies are at
Both? The defense is better now than ever. The offense needs to pull their heads out of their asses and play football.
D has no depth and they’re dominating a good offense. While we probably lose this game (Smith Luton 3.0) just think of the progress on that side since game 1.
Defense has flexed their muscles and played this the best they could and the offense is going to go 3 and out. Our offense was somewhat our strength, but now our defense is showing experience.
Luton is a statue against this D.
Darnit Luton couldn’t you jump in the air and fly over that sack?!!
a lot of this is play calling, know the limitations of the line and qb
Haha, good one.
Luton looking to drop to the ground before he even received the snap lol
Luton is so bad it’s comical at this point.
O line is getting absolutely destroyed. Pass, run, misdirection. If you have no line you got nothing.
But at least one quip, where are the slants?
Stupid play call by petey, should have punted and pinned beavs deep
BIG JIM calling for something to the middle of the field, seems the approach a 6’7″ QB could exploit? Gotta be quick though, OL can’t hold.
Where is any kind of creativity on offense? Bubble screen? Try getting the ball outside?
Agreed with above posters. UW only has to stop the run. Which they have.
The Champ sweep was a bit late…easy to read.
How about a screen, draw, multiple TE set?
The whole offense has given up. Our offense is so hot and cold. Hot when they have a team they can push around but cold when playing a team that is tough.
If we hold them to a field goal, AB’s 15 point spread could be the winner
If this dork could make a FG!
The D continues to play, commentators continue to appropriately laid the D
Defense is going to out score the offense.
Why not Gebbia?? coach Smith it might work when nothing else has.
Stubborn or stupid.
Only he knows
Why not Gebbia…..let think about that for .000001 seconds
Because Luton has 19 TDs and 2 picks on the season
Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks
But he’s in chuck the ball away mode just like he was against Utah. Doesn’t even try, the pocket sucks and he’s getting pressured and he’s not even looking around. Just get rid of it.
Luton put up good numbers vs. weak teams. He has never put up any good numbers vs. decent teams. He folds. Angry
called it before the season started and Luton keeps proving him right.
Defense gets 2 interceptions, huskies miss 2 field goals, defensive touchdown
Sounds like a pretty good chance at a win right??
I think I saw Gebbia throw the blue penny on Luton.
D playing lights out, UW kicker having off night…
No opportunities for Gebbia.
Realistic order of blame:
1 Offensive Line
2 Not giving Gebbia a few drives
3 Play calling
4 Luton
Is Lavaka out?
haven’t seen him
Did choukair transfer to uw?
By the way, when I said Washington was a terrible matchup this is why. So physical compared to us.
Is a new thread on the way?
Spot on. We have all been pointing this as a very likely loss. Really nice to see the progression of the d. Frustrating to see the two steps back by the offense.
So played Luton against Wazzu and Gebbia against the quacks. Who matches up better against ASU next weekend?
I had some good nachos in the 3rd, so there’s that.
My wife made some kick ass chili, although that, and this game, may give me the shits
Weird timeout
I cut the cord this year so haven’t had Pac-12 network. It’s funny but the last time a game was on FS1 I saw a Beavs with no defense. I finally get to see a game again and see a team with no offense but they have a defense. I will say my health is better without PAC-12 network. Maybe if I catch a game again next year I’ll see a team that brings a complete game to the field.
No run game and no time to throw would lead an intelligent fan to realize the O line was dominated. Not on this forum though. Now I see why Machado charges money to join her forum.
All of our offense was dominated.
So Luton has NO time to throw a quick slant?
Why no up tempo offense?
You should go pay and only communicate on Machado’s forum then. Bye Felicia.
When your o line is dominated the QB needs to roll out. Shit, I guess we don’t have a QB who can do that.
There’s plenty of blame to go around here. Vanilla play calling. O line sucking donkey cock. But UW had a brilliant game plan. Stop the run and make Luton beat them.
He couldn’t/can’t. Which many of us have seen. Over and over again. It’s no secret.
My question is why is the play calling so vanilla. Obviously it works against weaker defenses. But it’s hot garbage against above average defenses. Is it the players? The coaching staff?
Why the inability to make changes on the fly or at halftime? If it’s not working, why keep trying it?
I’ll say it again. When a defense is being aggressive and stacking the box to stop the run, where are the quick hitting passes?
Btw, on that throw back screen to Jefferson on the first play after UW missed a FG in the 4th quarter, the TE was WIDE fucking open down the middle with no one within 10 yards of him. I saw this and rewound the DVR and showed my wife. If I can see this? Luton didn’t even look. He looked right then immediately turned his head back 180 degrees and threw to Jefferson with a shit pass for a 5 yard loss.
It’s unreal you miss these little nuances. But we’re all morons and armchair QB’s.
Happened in the first half too. Looked at 17, covered. Spun 90° to the right and chucked a turd to AP who went nowhere. 81 was 10 yards away standing flat footed with his hands up waiting for the ball.
Can’t believe we’re only down 12
Gave up 28 to UW last time in first quarter….
Did our D show up or did UW sleepwalk this one?
S steppes up. 400+ total offense given up by the defense, hold the husky offense to 3 field goals 1-2 made and only lost by 12 at home. If the defense plays like they did tonight the rest of the season, then obviously they have ‘arrived’.
Yep
BREAKING
Aydon still has energy to help up two dawgs and one fellow Beav at the end of a single play! Conditioning!!
3rd dinner at halftime he has some fuel to burn.
Sydin has been really steadfast this year minus being a hot head. Massive improvement in conditioning
That wasn’t a 1st down. Lazy refs want to go home.
Good someone caught it.
Shane Vereen sounds like a stoned Mexican teenager. Not exactly a prime time announcer voice.
I knew a girl that dated him and met him several times. He’s about as smart as a blank thesaurus.
Defense was awesome, were going to be monstrous over the next couple years. O Line is still not there but could be soon. QB is an obvious problem.
Standing ovation for our defense and the D-coach. F- for offense and offense coach. Exited that maybe we will have a good defense next year.
Said it a couple weeks back, there’s still room on the Tibs bandwagon. Join me?
I am on it
Jake Luton, a season high -34 yards rushing. That’s on the o-line too. Coaches have to work with what they have. Just like Hawaii game, I’m always going to wonder with if Gebbia gets a series or two. What do they have to lose?
What the hell was that
50% poop.
88 yds and 1int! Still our best option though….
Huuuuuuuge props to the defense!!!! They straight up came out to play tonight…..showed tenacity and even scored to help out the O. That’s all I’m gonna say….gnight y’all!
Well that was fun. I’m goin to go sit in the car for a couple of hours before going to bed, to simulate the full game night experience.
Also….. how does the sound engineer know to play the chain saw effect, before every Husky first down?
Leave the car running, dont roll up the door
Lmao!!!
Should I not have laughed at that?

Sure, dawgs missed a couple passes on their own but didn’t the DB’s (including Hamilcar’s time back there) look the best they have all year?
Wasted a Bradford start, maybe he changed his mind and isn’t limiting himself to 4 games?
Most had this one as a loss from the start of the season, which of the final 3 games have match ups that provide good chance for wins?
Bend but don’t break moved to keeping it infront of you but attack. Pass defense was really good compared to well…forever ago
I see ASU and UO as the easier wins. Cougs are a super bad matchup.
I’m hoping they can duplicate it against Wazzu. They are starting to jell. Onu-Hicks was not a loss, maybe he knew that.
ASU and Oregon are better matchups than WSU.
After the D improvement ASU should be a pick ’em.
The O-Line was such a disappointment. I thought they were better than what they showed tonight. They’re going to have to close the gap at some point. I’m concerned that the Oregon game is going to be the same way.
They couldn’t match the physicality, just like Utah. Ducks are a better matchup because they are more fast than physical. Good technique can deal with speed. Nothing deals with a dude chucking you away like a ferbie.
Bad week for the trolls.
Now that Luton is all rested up after taking tonight off, he should be ready for ASU next Saturday!
These P-12 matchups are so freakin’ weird. I watch this game and think how the hell did Stanford have almost 500 yards against UW and the Beavs can’t get a first down? Luton has only improved enough to not hurt the team against weaker competition. I guess that gets you four wins instead of two? Still a long ways to go. We are kidding ourselves if we say this game was competitive. It really wasn’t.
Say what you will but the d WAS competitive.
The offense made the game non-competitive. The stats would say the final score should have been a 30 point win. It was nice to see a defensive TD, but that’s not going to happen every game. Their kicker missed two makeable attempts. It was a dominating, but a sloppy performance by UW.
The defenses were competitive. Stanford could handle UWs physical presence on defense/offense…we can’t. We were too fast for Stanford and should have won
Bold Prediction: Whittley is an absolute force next year and gets drafted in the 6th round. His conditioning isn’t there this year. I haven’t seen an OSU player get off the snap like that since Paea.
New thread up with some post game thoughts.
