That was a pointless delay, and the announcers were wrong about all of that time nonsense. There were 40.1 seconds left at inbound, and 37.2 when the shot was released. 2.9 of the 3.0.second left on the shot clock.
Nah. There's not REALLY anything on the line when winning gets you to 8-4 and a date against one of two teams that already slaughtered us 6 weeks ago. We dodged another embarrassing loss next week.
A west title doesn't mean a whole lot when all the teams have at least 4 losses.
Losing to...
If DeJean plays the whole game, we win. It's really that simple. His replacement got burned twice for TDs.
That should have been a close game where our D took over late and we won by 7.
Them's the breaks.
Don't most sport parents believe their kid should be starting? I figure this allows them to save face a little bit, who wants to admit they aren't good enough to play ahead of below average starters? I've rooted for the kid since day one because, well - mostly because he has an awesome name, and...
Brian knows that he's unpopular and that he's mostly handcuffed by his dad's schemes.
Leaving for a place they recruit better athletes would be tempting. Get out of his dad's shadow, see what he can do. Fail and he could go be an OL coach somewhere or back to the NFL.
Then Kirk can promote KOK...
I liked his game and by all accounts I heard he was a great locker room guy. Apparently not enough catches to go around in this offense. Can't say I blame him, watch him go blow up somewhere good next year. I wish him well.
Apparently a decisive QB who goes through the read progression and gets the ball out on time is all we were missing.
A competent passing game opens up the running game.
Could we finish 6-6?
It's like the offense is a complete afterthought.
Kirk's philosophy seems to be....play good D, get turnovers, win the field position game, and then offense should be able to do just enough to win.
Except when none of that works, you look like a lost, clueless team.
Definition of a letdown game. Iowa certainly isn't #2, but they aren't as shit as they look today, either. Purdue has it's issues but they know how to effectively move the ball against this zone defense.
Pure jubilation. Who gives a shit what anyone thinks? Are we just supposed to calmly file out of the stadium after one of the biggest home wins in school history?
Plus....traffic sucks after games, why not hang out after for awhile and have some fun until it clears?
