Game Thread: Dawgs vs Wildcats...

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright time to spread them out and run the air raid.

[KOdawg1]

Biscardi has had problems with xps at coastal but is money on fgs.

Yep, that was a concern I had about him

[BeardoMSU]

Good job, #4...

[magrooder]

That's on Ducking. He should have made the catch.

[mparkerfd20]

WR fault there. They can't catch a cold tonight.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Shit man. Who was that?

[Bdawg]

I swear Ducking!! Just catch the damn ball

[maroonmania]

Catch the dang ball!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Put your 17n mouth piece in, Ducking.

[KOdawg1]

Sshit

[Bdawg]

That’s the shit that gets you beat

[Activated Alpha]

This is why I?m nervous

[maroonmania]

I have zero confidence in Ducking. He is just too raw.

[EdwardDrayton]

My game swear jar is half full already.

[Commercecomet24]

That is such a State thing to do is sign a kicker that has a mental block with PATs

Dude can hammer long fgs though and In clutch situations

[magrooder]

Forbes with the INT

[vindastra]

Forbes

[Lord McBuckethead]

Forbes bails Ducking out.

[Statecoachingblows**]

Great grab what a play

[maroonmania]

That’s the shit that gets you beat

Nice pick!

[VandelayIndustries]

I love Forbes

[Leroy Jenkins]

Damn, Forbes ran that route.

[BeardoMSU]

Fortuitous turn of events, lol.

[magrooder]

May be overturned

[VandelayIndustries]

Cut out the mistakes drive drive down the field

[BeardoMSU]

What are they talking about? His toe was in...

[VandelayIndustries]

Damn this gon be overturned

[PGHBulldogBG]

15-10 will be overturned but still got the lead

[BeardoMSU]

Hmm...was not aware of that caveat, I guess.

[Hambone]

Toe was in, heel was not unfortunately

[magrooder]

block that kick!!!

[maroonmania]

Dang! Thought we had escaped giving up points off the turnover.

[Maverick91]

Mistakes are the name of the game for state!!

[Bdawg]

Nice pick!

I wish

[Lord McBuckethead]

I will put it this way, if a player cannot put in his mouth piece, what other basic shit are they missing?

[MoreCowbell]

What a boring atmosphere

[starkvegasdawg]

Toe was in, heel was not unfortunately

Don't like that rule. Should be the same as a toe tap.

[memsu06]

This is the week for ugly games.

[Bdawg]

Time to answer!!

[starkvegasdawg]

Now get back to the run game.

[CaptainObvious]

Our Wide Receivers keeping Arizona in the game. 81 and 4 not focused yet. Maybe a little aaa chewing during that defensive series got their attention. Will has to get in their ass about these drops.

[SailingDawg]

I will put it this way, if a player cannot put in his mouth piece, what other basic shit are they missing?

I noticed that a lot last week. I actually thought it was an equipment penalty if you didn't have it in.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That is kind of a stupid rule. If your toe is in, who gives a shit what else comes down.

[KOdawg1]

Just get out of here with a win. Idc how ugly it is.

[Homedawg]

Now get back to the run game.

They've started to slow our runs. Throw it and go back to the run. Passing game is open due to the runs.

[EdDawg]

Don't like that rule. Should be the same as a toe tap.

Yeah for me it's the same thing as the ground not being able to cause a fumble but can cause an incompletion. That just doesn't make much sense to me.

[LC Dawg]

Nice job by the defense after the turnover.

[maroonmania]

Mistakes are the name of the game for state!!

So far we've given away 5 points in missed XPs and the turnover.

[BeardoMSU]

Those running lanes have disappeared...

[magrooder]

This color commentator is grating on my last nerve sound like the Brooklyn Brawler

[Bdawg]

Who is this jackass calling the game? Blatant PI!

[Lord McBuckethead]

We are trying out some weird stuff.

[magrooder]

Now the O looks like shit

[Lord McBuckethead]

Who is this jackass calling the game? Blatant PI!

Yeah, he grabbed both arms.

[BeardoMSU]

Christ...

[Bdawg]

OL failing now

[Activated Alpha]

Yup. There is our disappearing O

[LC Dawg]

That was a shit series by the offense.

[HoopsDawg]

Now the O looks like shit

shovel pass into no rush.

[Dawgology]

We just absolutely can’t play a complete game.

[BhamDawg]

New season, same s****y offense.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright Bulldogs. Our offense looks very disjointed. We need to get in a grove. Will looks to be out of sorts.

[Activated Alpha]

Will shit the bed on that series

[KOdawg1]

Kam Jones just let the DE by damn near untouched.

[CJDAWG85]

Let’s keep calling dump downs to RB’s

[TNDawg35]

So we just gonna stop running now that they are only rushing 3 and bull rushing the ends?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Got to take off 1.5 quarters every game.

[VandelayIndustries]

This is a bad AZ team, we need to step up

[HoopsDawg]

I have zero confidence in Ducking. He is just too raw.

There's no way Justin Robinson isn't better than Harmon and he may be as good as Ducking but we've got him buried 3rd string at X.

[Lord McBuckethead]

So we just gonna stop running now that they are only rushing 3 and bull rushing the ends?
Our offensive line doesn?t run block. Even when we are running, they disengage witchin 1 second and just watch as Marks gets blasted. Watch and you will see.

[BhamDawg]

So we just gonna stop running now that they are only rushing 3 and bull rushing the ends?

They figured out the two running plays we have in the playbook.

[BeardoMSU]

Got to take off 1.5 quarters every game.

Definitely seems to be woven into the scheme.

[HancockCountyDog]

That was a really bad series by the OL.

Let?s hope it?s the exception.

We look so much better when we are just running down hill.

[BeardoMSU]

Another horrendous missed tackle....

[Bothrops]

Hawk tackling

[vindastra]

Sirmon coaching us?

[Lord McBuckethead]

God we suck at sacking the QB

[HoopsDawg]

Another horrendous missed tackle....

Tackling seems to be an issue.

[Activated Alpha]

Miss a sure fire sack and give up the 3rd and long. Only state would let that happem

[Maverick91]

Are players not taught to break down? Like seriously? This is stupid!

[Tater]

like i said. we just need to get out of here with a win. this game is going to be ****y as all get out.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That missed sack woke up their QB.

[maroonmania]

Forbes killed us on this drive by overrunning the sack.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Who is this jackass calling the game? Blatant PI!

He?s in the tank for Jed ?big NIL checkbook? Fisch

What a freaking joke, ?oh just a little arm action?

[CadaverDawg]

We're going to F around and lose to these shitheads aren't we?

[CovertDawg]

Too many plays where our defenders are looking to the sideline as the ball is being snapped.

[Bothrops]

Absolutely no pass rush

[maroonmania]

Are players not taught to break down? Like seriously? This is stupid!

Apparently not. Our defenders ALWAYS go full throttle into the QB on the rush and about 80% of the time the QB can just sidestep them.

[HoopsDawg]

We're going to F around and lose to these shitheads aren't we?

we appear to be much better physically than them. can't keep dropping passes, missing extra points and missing tackles though. And our safeties are not very good in coverage. Don't know why we don't have Banks in there to help in coverage.

[Activated Alpha]

Another missed tackle for a loss. Like WTF guys. Wrap the **ck up

[CJDAWG85]

They look way better throwing than us. We look like complete dog shit.

[Activated Alpha]

Bold strategy their Arnett. If our guys can?t tackle, utilize the other team

[Dawgology]

We aren’t prepared mentally or from a gameplay standpoint. It’s unfortunate but I’m not too invested anymore

[magrooder]

Need a stop right here

[KOdawg1]

Good job D

[Bothrops]

We've effectively west coasted our defense

[defiantdog]

This holding is getting old fast

[Dawg97]

Finally a pass rush there!

[PikeDawg15]

Think we got caught looking ahead to lsu.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright, I am going to grab my cowbell. It is time for us to start building a lead. Right now.

[KOdawg1]

A long TD drive here would be great.

[Maverick91]

My wife just said that leach doesn?t act like a head coach, he acts like a news reporter on taking notes on the sideline. Lol

[magrooder]

Need a clock eating drive and score

[Goldendawg]

Absolutely no pass rush

No pressure since we went to the 3-3-5.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Need a score here before half. Harmon and Duck better get rid of the hands of stone or start throwing elsewhere

[Bdawg]

Got to put a drive together. Build this lead.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Need a clock eating drive and score
This would be great as we get the ball coming out of the half

[maroonmania]

We are still going to miss Makai Polk bad this year. Rara Thomas is about the only guy that is close to Polk in this system.

[Dawg97]

Score here and get the hall the second half will be big!!

[Dawg97]

We have the smallest sheet in college football! 😂

[BeardoMSU]

Nice thread there from Will.

[magrooder]

Great catch by Williams

[Activated Alpha]

Will getting a little too comfortable throwing those balls that could be jumped by DBs. Come SEC play some of those will be

[Dawg97]

Will missing too many guys in stride like he did last week.

[KOdawg1]

Dillon Johnson is running with bad intentions tonight

[Hambone]

May see the highest rushing game tonight under Leach. They cannot stop the run.

[Maverick91]

Is marks hurt?

[vindastra]

Dillon Johnson is running with bad intentions tonight

Seems like our better RB

[EdwardDrayton]

Another quarter like this one and I’ll be uncapping the bourbon again.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Will is calling the majority of the plays

[Lord McBuckethead]

We need to play with tempo without subbing our RB every two plays.

[Dawg97]

Dillon Johnson is running with bad intentions tonight

Johnson is playing tough. Haven?t seen Marks much so far.

[Activated Alpha]

Our option plays scare the shite out of me

[Lord McBuckethead]

I do not like us pitching. If we are, the RB needs to start directly behind him.

[KOdawg1]

Seems like our better RB

I think they both compliment each other well. Dillon is more of the power runner. Both are averaging over 7 YPC thus far.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Our option plays scare the shite out of me

Me too.

[BeardoMSU]

Nice back-shoulder there...

[Lord McBuckethead]

How are they going to blow that dead, he was still driving.

[BeardoMSU]

No flag? lol....

[MedDawg]

Refs blew the whistle too early. DJ was still moving.

[LC Dawg]

Why did they blow the whistle?

[BeardoMSU]

These ****in' refs.

[Lord McBuckethead]

What the 17 are we doing?

[mparkerfd20]

Blatant PI twice!!

[KOdawg1]

I don't care what the numbers say.

Our redzone offense sucks

[maroonmania]

Neither of those plays had a chance. That was a bear hug!

[Activated Alpha]

How was that one not PI?

[MedDawg]

Blatant Defensive holding not called

[CadaverDawg]

Man I hate this offense

[Dawg97]

That was a bad bad series there at the goal line.

[Maverick91]

We do not have a good fade route. These receivers are 6?5 throw that thing up and make it a jump ball.

[LC Dawg]

We got screwed on 1st and 2nd down.

[HoopsDawg]

We've got 3 timeouts, why are we rushing to get the play off. Two rushed, poor plays.

[Statecoachingblows**]

No PI on either of those last two plays? How??

[Lord McBuckethead]

Why did they blow the whistle?

What a 17n mess. Dillon Johnson was still driving, had leverage. No need to blow that dead.

[defiantdog]

Dude was hugging rara

[Activated Alpha]

SEC refs huh?

I agree though we had 3 timeouts still. Should have used one for the 3rd down to call up a better play

[magrooder]

piss poor red zone

[WhiskeyPirate]

PI is blatant, and this **** ****ing announcer is complicit

[Bdawg]

What the 17 are we doing?

All out of sorts on goaline. Lot of grabbing on those routes but RaRa needs to fight there.

[Lord McBuckethead]

No PI on either of those last two plays? How??

Yeah, they only grabbed both guys. Like was wrapping them up, yet no call. Shit Walley was being tackled on his break.

[Saltydog]

And that last set of downs is indicative of the weakness of the air raid. It's just terrible when you're in close.

[CJDAWG85]

2 absolutely obvious holding calls… nothing

[Bothrops]

We like to make it a little more interesting

[BhamDawg]

Three GD timeouts and we don?t use any of them. instead we rush to the line to get two terrible plays off before a delay. Just wtf?

[Cowbell]

We do not have a good fade route. These receivers are 6?5 throw that thing up and make it a jump ball.

Did you not see our second td

[BeardoMSU]

Would love a greedy pick here from AZ.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We do not have a good fade route. These receivers are 6?5 throw that thing up and make it a jump ball.

Box them out and throw to the front Pylon. Like Jimmy Graham style.

[BeardoMSU]

2 absolutely obvious holding calls… nothing

Officiating has been dreadful.

[HoopsDawg]

Three GD timeouts and we don?t use any of them. instead we rush to the line to get two terrible plays off before a delay. Just wtf?

This

[Maverick91]

Right now. We are ranked where we need to be.

[maroonmania]

That was a bad bad series there at the goal line.

Boy, that is something that has never been said about a Mike Leach offense.***

[Cowbell]

Blatant holding on Charlton

[Activated Alpha]

Our defense I swear

[KOdawg1]

Pathetic

[maroonmania]

They are going to get the FG right back. :(

[magrooder]

O Line for AZ is holding on every play

[VandelayIndustries]

We suck

[Lord McBuckethead]

Who the 17 is coaching right now? Cause we are just letting them work.

[EdwardDrayton]

We’re going to win. But we’ve squandered our chance to impress somebody.

[HoopsDawg]

RaRa has to be on the field. He's good. Somone has to explain to me why either Tulu or Robinson aren't on the other side at X!

[BeardoMSU]

If this guy's mobility is giving our D trouble, holy hell are we in for a treat.

As I type: nice sack, dipshit.

[maroonmania]

Stupid play by De Laura

[Bdawg]

Zona qb bails is out

[Activated Alpha]

Three GD timeouts and we don?t use any of them. instead we rush to the line to get two terrible plays off before a delay. Just wtf?

That is also on Will

[KOdawg1]

Great job of Charlton there by not over running his rush. Kept him in front of him. That's what we need to do.

[maroonmania]

Here comes the end zone heave i guess.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Whatever.....if the Offense puts up 20 points a half, that’s not the problem...
And it should be 20 if Biscardi doesn’t have the yips....needs to see a sports psychologist and ride the pine

[Bdawg]

O Line for AZ is holding on every play

I’m sick of seeing holding too!

[Dawg97]

Too many no holding calls on this drive!!

[BeardoMSU]

Who the 17 is coaching right now? Cause we are just letting them work.

Mike is doing his latest color by number**

[Maverick91]

Did you not see our second td

There is a difference between a back of the end zone throw and a fade. A fade is a jump ball. Will didn?t do well with them last week and he ain?t doing well with them this week.

[Cowbell]

That is also on Will

You obviously don't see him chewing butt trying to get everyone lined up. He's playing chess and half the offense is oblivious to the pace at which they need to set up.

[PGHBulldogBG]

This will definitely calm the sunshine pumpers down. Not a bad game but not good. About what I expected. Still on board for 8-4 this year

[Cowbell]

There is a difference between a back of the end zone throw and a fade. A fade is a jump ball. Will didn?t do well with them last week and he ain?t doing well with them this week.
That second td was a classic fade

[vindastra]

Their QB when he clicks, has some Russ Wilson vibes

[CadaverDawg]

My first half thoughts...

- Thank goodness their QB thinks he's Manziel, and has killed a few drives by hanging on to it too long.

- It's too easy for teams to drop safeties and force our offense into check down mode where we need 20 play drives to score

- Our kicker sucks, again

- In typical Mike Leach fashion, we are only up 8 on a team that we are 40 points more talented than.

- Our red zone offense is pure garbage

[magrooder]

Let us off the hook and Leach needs to figure something out at the half.

[Hambone]

Ok, guys, you played pretty sloppy the first half at times. Take a breath, get your shit together, and come out with a can of whoop ass in the second half.

[LC Dawg]

Good news is that the first half ended before midnight.***
Except for you east coast Dawgs.

[Leroy Jenkins]

When you can play that bad and still win......

[Bdawg]

We’re going to win. But we’ve squandered our chance to impress somebody.

I hope that was our shitty half and we come out balling like we should 2nd half

[HoopsDawg]

Wow 21-15 pass to run ratio. Arizona is just sitting back with those 2 deep safeties. Gott to keep running it and throwing intermediate passes I guess.

[BuckyIsAB****]

For the love of God put your toes on the goaline and bat the ball down

[WhiskeyPirate]

Again the offense on pace to score 40 is not the problem.

[CadaverDawg]

Oh and....

- Our OL getting pushed around, or run past, by a bad Pac12 DL is embarrassing, and should temper expectations tremendously.

- Kam Jones is not good

[BeardoMSU]

When you can play that bad and still win......

With all the upsets today, I just want to win now. **** how good we look doing it. The weirdness of this game/time/location will all be forgiven as long as we win.

[Activated Alpha]

You obviously don't see him chewing butt trying to get everyone lined up. He's playing chess and half the offense is oblivious to the pace at which they need to set up.

I did but as the leader he knew the offense was out of synch and being rushed with the clock winding down. Use one of our 3 timeouts to reset and get a better play called

[HoopsDawg]

My first half thoughts...

- Thank goodness their QB thinks he's Manziel, and has killed a few drives by hanging on to it too long.

- It's too easy for teams to drop safeties and force our offense into check down mode where we need 20 play drives to score

- Our kicker sucks, again

- In typical Mike Leach fashion, we are only up 8 on a team that we are 40 points more talented than.

- Our red zone offense is pure garbage

That's just it. Mike Leach has had plenty of time to put in a counter to that defensive strategy and he has done nothing. It will always hold him and us back. Having said that, it wasn't a horrible half. There has been a lot of over reaction in this thread.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well, we already too our 1.5 quarters off. Now we can just play our game and execute for 17 sake.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Based on the officiating allowing blatant defensive holding/PI I’d say Vegas has Arizona and the points guaranteed.

[CadaverDawg]

That's just it. Mike Leach has had plenty of time to put in a counter to that defensive strategy and he has done nothing. It will always hold him and us back. Having said that, it wasn't a horrible half. There has been a lot of over reaction in this thread.

I agree it hasn't been THAT bad...but I'd like to win a lot of games this year, and missing PAT's and not being able to block 3 Arizona DL's with 5 "SEC" OL's is not going to get the results I'm hoping for.

[KOdawg1]

If we force DeLaura to stay in the pocket, we'll shut them down. The dude thinks he's a gun slinger, so if you force him to sit there and actually make throws to beat you, we'll be in good shape.

[EdwardDrayton]

Here’s to ripping the cover off the can of whoop ass in the 2nd half.

[preachermatt83]

Oh and....

- Our OL getting pushed around, or run past, by a bad Pac12 DL is embarrassing, and should temper expectations tremendously.

- Kam Jones is not good


We are on pace to score nearly 40. My gosh just stop

[Maverick91]

That's just it. Mike Leach has had plenty of time to put in a counter to that defensive strategy and he has done nothing. It will always hold him and us back. Having said that, it wasn't a horrible half. There has been a lot of over reaction in this thread.

We suck and should shut the program down.

[PMDawg]

We're getting man handled at the LOS on both sides. This is one of the weakest DLs I can remember us ever having.

[Lord McBuckethead]

With all the upsets today, I just want to win now. **** how good we look doing it. The weirdness of this game/time/location will all be forgiven as long as we win.

Yep. We had a weird bad half. Coach will get them centered. Our defense is going to score us some points tonight.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Yea, 40 points a game by the offense is just unacceptable

Lol

[Lord McBuckethead]

I hope all of our guys did a line of Coke at halftime. We need some energy.

[WhiskeyPirate]

We suck and should shut the program down.

Hoops is a troll

[Bothrops]

We?re going to win. But we?ve squandered our chance to impress somebody.

If we don't score on the opening drive to start the second half, all bets are off.

[BuckyIsAB****]

That is also on Will

Yes that was incredibly incompetent

[starkvegasdawg]

We're getting man handled at the LOS on both sides. This is one of the weakest DLs I can remember us ever having.

If our DL was being held any more than they are it would qualify for a gay porno.

[Bothrops]

Yes we are getting held up on the LOS, but our dline is bad. It may be real bad.

[Lord McBuckethead]

When you can play that bad and still win......

That?s true. It gives an opportunity to get in sync too, overcoming a weird ass half.

[Activated Alpha]

Yes that was incredibly incompetent

Didn?t say he was incompetent. Said he should shoulder some of the blame for the last offensive series at the goal line where two plays were assuredly rushed. If Leech wasn?t going to call a TO then Will could have to just reset the team. Felt like that was a missed opportunity to score a TD despite the obvious missed holding calls there

[Cowbell]

Oh and....

- Our OL getting pushed around, or run past, by a bad Pac12 DL is embarrassing, and should temper expectations tremendously.

- Kam Jones is not good

Their DL is legit

[Lord McBuckethead]

It?s only gay if you like it.

[WhiskeyPirate]

The D line is not bad, it has several future nfl players on it. The officiating is bad and one game does not make a career.

[HoopsDawg]

Yes that was incredibly incompetent

Nah, mainly on Leach. A little on Will though since it's past Leachs bedtime

[Cowbell]

Yes we are getting held up on the LOS, but our dline is bad. It may be real bad.

Quit overreacting- they can't run the ball and their QB is scared to death

[Cowbell]

Nah, mainly on Leach. A little on Will though since it's past Leachs bedtime

It was on the front line for not getting set. Will was yelling at them to get set.

[Bothrops]

The D line is not bad, it has several future nfl players on it.

It do?

[Cowbell]

It?s only gay if you like it.
You do you man

[Maverick91]

I think my biggest issue with leach is that three years in we still haven?t learned to put the foot on the neck and actually push down. We do not have a killer instinct.

[parabrave]

I would like to see our DBs wrapping up on those tackles. And for Wes to push the ball downfield/ But hell we are running dam good even those pitches are scary.

[Cowbell]

This papadick announcer is incredibly annoying

[HoopsDawg]

It was on the front line for not getting set. Will was yelling at them to get set.

Agree but a simple timeout by Leach or Will to get organized would have resulted in 7 instead of 3. FGs won't cut it against the SEC schedule

[Cowbell]

The only really bad thing I've seen is our tackling and some of our recievers need to wake up

[Maverick91]

Their players are dirty. Did y?all see the guy pulling our guys hair?

[Cowbell]

Dillon Johnson is becoming a grown man

[ZedFedder]

Dillon Johnson has really looked fantastic tonight. He is our best back.

[KOdawg1]

OL giving Will lots of time so far this drive.

[ZedFedder]

Yeah, they have had more than a couple of dirty plays.

On another note, if we can get this type of protection, it will be tough for many people to beat us.

Also, I think 95 for them faked the injury.

[EdwardDrayton]

Ducking needs to tuck that ball.

[BeardoMSU]

Nice route Rufus

[BeardoMSU]

That ref clearly marked it 2 yards short of what we gained....what the hell?

[BeardoMSU]

Oh no...

[Cowbell]

Oh no...

He stays hurt. Next man up

[Activated Alpha]

And of course another holding on our guys

[Hambone]

Isn’t that only the 2nd one?

[Cowbell]

And of course another holding on our guys

Dolla with a clean pancake too

[BeardoMSU]

Great effort from Tulu there!

[Maverick91]

Tulu is great. He is so hard to tackle.

[VandelayIndustries]

This guy spotting sucks

[BeardoMSU]

TD! Will to Austin!

[magrooder]

Tulu needs to be getting the ball more

[Activated Alpha]

There?s AW!!

[parabrave]

And thats what we needed.
