Cowing and Singer have been outrunning DBs all season. Although they certainly got open, they couldn't outrun USC's DBs

Last year, defensively, we were far from Desert Swarm but not terrible either. We were losing games from a lack of offense. We supposedly have more talent and more experience this year so what's wrong? The big difference is the coordinator. I think he deserves more than one year but things need to c...

My Fandom for UofA started in 1968 during Mudra's tenure. I lived in the same dorm with a lot of the players and knew a lot of them. I have a lot of fun stories about them. I remember the defensive coordinator was Royal Price and he was a ton of mean. A lot of people thought Frank Kush was mean but ...

Fuck. Although I can watch Big 10, ACC, SEC, and other games on Directv, still no PAC 12 network. Ficking ridiculous-especially in this part of the country. Fucking pisses me off. I'll be hitting you guys up for a stream. Don't worry I got you, assuming it's on the national pac 12 channel Plan B ca...

LOL. he's just jealous of my fame. listen. there's reports of F the Bison chants and Zona fans in faces of elderly fans after. We lost, we beat ourselves multiple times, we had 15,000 fans bigger than most opponents bring and physically manhandled Arizona most of the game. your QB mobility was your...

When Singer was asked in the presser about the physicality of NDSU he said it wasn’t about how physical they were but more like they were taking cheap shots. Watching NDSU I thought they were a dirty team. Yes they're physical but I saw a lot of forearms to the face away from the ball after the pla...

That's interesting. I'm feeling the opposite.

tgrumpy2

Even without the not running for yards, he still would seem to fixate on one guy when pressured and forget about everyone else, at least last game. He was ignoring wide open guys to try and hit tight windows while scrambling around. Probably just needs to work on his read progression. I also wanna ...

I agree one hundred percent. They sucked.

I hate this game is on the schedule, just stupid. Playing FCS schools is a no win situation. It's like a 6th grader fighting a 3rd grader. If you win it's because you are supposed to, if you lose it's just a huge embarrassment. IIRC, UCLA, USC and ND have never played a FCS school, although I think...

I thought JDL was a bit rattled most of the evening. I think he's a serious athlete and introspective enought that he probably knows where all of his mistakes were. We were still in it mistakes and all right into the fourth quarter and I think our defense just got tired, they were on the field a lot...

I hate FS1. Hard to find a stream. Hopefully FC can provide one. Sportsurge Thanks. Hopefully it's not another FirstRowSports with a bunch of popups and virus downloads. What do you do for the reference code in the registration box? I use adblock add ons, just choose the most popular ones in your b...

I also thought Fafita looked the best of all the QBs. Very accurate with a nice touch. De Laura does have some amazing instincts but I can see why Fisch isn't willing to name De Laura as the starter just yet. The upgraded receiver corps I think is everything its been cracked up to be. Some of it is ...

tgrumpy2

I don't think Fafita is going to play much this year. I think he's going to redshirt unless something really drastic happens. If Cruz hits the transfer portal this will be his second time and he'll lose a year of eligibility. Plummer really progressed during the season but he's still a work in progr...

tgrumpy2

Speaking strictly about recruitment, did everyone get what they wanted? Between the recruiting class and the transfer portal this has been Christmas.

I will root for anyone they put out there to start. I'll do that because I'm a fan and I'm not going to boo some kid that's playing his guts out and trying to do his best. I want Plummer to progress and if he doesn't during Spring and Fall then no I hope he doesn't start but if he does, I'll still r...

tgrumpy2

By playing so well last season, it’s Plummer’s to lose right now. I think Jordan is a better QB and with a full spring and summer to develop, I think it will be Jordan in the end. Feef is going to see time probably ever game, so will Plummer. Gotta develop Feef and keep Plummer ready. I don't think...

tgrumpy2

Does anyone know anything about the other athlete we might be signing or did that not come about or has it just not happened yet?

tgrumpy2

I think that leaque is where coaches go to die so let Sumlin go and we can be done with him

tgrumpy2

The number one key to the offseason I think is finding a LT, Morgan isn't it. Laie was much better in that spot as a true freshman and I still can't understand how nobody can dethrone Jordan "The Matador" Morgan. And on the post above I think he was referring to Lines, the TE who was mainly used fo...

UW game. Up 16-7 and driving. 5 straight run plays, for 40 yards (35 total because of false start penalty). 1st and 10 and the UW 28, and I know Fisch wanted to call a "safe" pass play, but why? We were running the ball down their throats, and in a positive position. If you call play action, you go...

tgrumpy2

This idea that you have to have spent 20 years coaching to recognize when playcalling is suboptimal is hilarious to me. We went 1-11. We scored less than 20 touchdowns during the entire season. If you think Jedd called the right play 99% of the time but for some reason they just didn’t work, you ma...

tgrumpy2

Joiner has done whatever has been asked of him. Running back, quarterback, receiver and done well. I would love to see him be able to stay at one position for the rest of his college career and excel. I do like that kid. I personally think Hines is going to slowly disappear. I thought he had a lot o...

tgrumpy2

I agree that over all the verdict is still out. He still has to sooner than later produce wins. After next year, I may be more on your side of this but right now I don't agree with some assessments on his sideline coaching. The players seemed to have bought into his system and if he was that bad, pl...

Holy shit. How do you come out of a 1-11 season and call people Chicken Littles? :lol: It's easy. There is a group in here that is about nothing more than doom and gloom. They can't make up their mind about the cause of it. Yea last year was a real turd but who here thought it would be any differen...

I want to see who is going to win the "Chicken Little, the Sky is Falling" contest. The competition is stiff for sure.

tgrumpy2

I'm confused. In one breath out one side of the mouth comes the "we have no talent. No OL talent and no one at QB and what in the world can ever do and oh my god". Almost in the very same breath but out of the other side of the mouth comes "he can't call plays, he gets an F and he's so bad". So whic...

tgrumpy2

I think you might be a bit to quick to judge the QBs. I don't think any of them are what you'd call All American material but they are capable of starting and doing a very good job if you have good people around them. We seem to be gathering some good ones. I think you might be a bit to fast to cond...

tgrumpy2

A lot of times sports writers are simply cranking out click bait with no real thought behind it. That is what I think of that article. With what Fisch had to work with and the injuries, the man deserves a C+ at least. Just keeping a team's morale up and keeping them playing hard was an amazing feat.

tgrumpy2

Now Jedd can concentrate on Slovis. He is the best option that won't alienate Fifita, whom we pretty much have to make the QB of the future now lol. I don't know if Jedd will be looking at bringing in a qb from the transfer portal this year. Mike Luke had Fifita on his show the other day and Fifita...

This is making me crazy. lol

I'm about to pull a cousin Eddie from the Griswald Christmas and steal the neighbor's 25 year old RV and kidnap TMac to explain to him he needs to sign his NLI for UofA. That is the Christmas bonus.

Certainly a lot better than that prediction of mass decommitments someone put out there last week.

Some of you are a bit overly defeatist. This team played with Oregon for 3 and a 1/2 quarters despite 5 pics, played with UCLA until McCloud got hurt, played with Utah all game, was within striking distance of USC in the 4th quarter. And yes, we had our self inflicted face plant at asu and didn't s...

Just my opinion but Curry lacked top end speed and struggled to get consistent separation. Be interesting to see where he lands but I believe this coaching staff determined we needed an upgrade outside and he didn’t fit That was my take on Currie. Just sort of ho hum. Maybe it was just me and when ...

tgrumpy2

Not a bad thought If Rutherford can stay healthy with Stukes on the other side. I wonder if CY would then man the other safety (SS) spot. That seems to me to be the most talented back end we could put out there Not even sure who plays the mike backer. Roberts was doing it in a pinch but think he is...

Rattler is better than anybody we have right now. I don't really keep up with prep football here in the Valley but someone I know that does said he was kicked off his high school team for some rule infraction. The rumor is that he already has his scholarship to Oklahoma and didn't feel like playing...

tgrumpy2

Do you guys really think Spencer Rattler is a good idea? The rumors I hear are he's a real prima dona and hates competition and wants his ass kissed. I don't know if that's true but that is something I've heard. If he was so good why didn't he start at Oklahoma?

tgrumpy2

Until we get a talent upgrade this is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic… Better talent isn't going to happen overnight and not in one year. It wil be a gradual thing but there is no reason not to expect gradual improvement either. Look what just a few players through the transfer port...

Well, its enlightening because his first DC was known for coaching. This one is known more for recruiting. I think you may need to look at hisi resume again. No, no, don't get me wrong.

It's seems that Fisch believes we are so devoid of talent, recruiting is currently more important than schemes and systems. He's probably right. there's nothing enlightening about that. Fisch has even said how important it is we upgrade our talent and everyone on here seems to agree. As far as sche...

I have no problem with this hire. One of the biggest complaints I see in here is that we always hire retreads and people lament about how we need to hire someone young and hungry. Well it seems that's what we got. He's coached every position on the D side of the ball and most on the O side as well. ...

I don't know what everyone expected this year but I don't think a lot of people have thought this through. Did any of you really expect this to be over in a year or two?
