It feels good to win but we all know we don't deserve both wins. I believe we will get our just deserts next week. If we continue to play this way we will lose at least one. fssca51 likes this.

Hufanga was missed when he had to come out. I was glad to see JJ3 make his first catch. Slovis was clutch as usual. The short yardage plays are getting ridiculous. The announcers seem to be more knowledgeable than our coaches. For crying out loud add QB under center and QB sneak to the playbook. And let Slovis occasionally run the zone read play and keep the ball. gubo&palanka likes this.

Just put the ball in your best player's hands. Damn RBs are way too slow as well. Get Christon in there more and run some sweeps. metrobank likes this.

The OL are blocking very poorly; they are too high. They must go low and drive their legs hard. C. Drevno must practice the fundamentals of hard drive blocking (ole fashion sled blocking machines) mucho minutes. And, get stronger. Last edited: Nov 16, 2020 metrobank likes this.

See this over and over again the first two games. Insanity! Also, see if we could actually run a sweep (Student Body left or right) to stack up the yards. So predictable on offense.

He was throwing wobbly balls and I wonder if he has a finger issue. He was missing guys high and low and our oline doesn't protect well against stoudt compact dlineman (mostly samoan or tongan guys). Drevno isn't earning his keep. Canyon likes this.
