While I should just ask what game you are referring to, when it comes to pylons, assuming the feet are in bounds, hitting the inside of the pylon is a good try, and hitting outside is out of bounds.
I’m at the Washington game right now so I didn’t see it but I heard David Shaw essentially pants’d Mario in the second half?
The game basically played out how the Jets-Browns game did on Thursday. One team goes into the half controlling it and then ends up losing in the second half.
Agree with Pruitt if this is what actually happened. Pretty refreshing response to just say what happened.
Hell yeah, love it when college coaches throw players under the bus to the media. That’s the kind of leadership I love to see from a grown ass man. Pruitt sucks and he makes rooting against UT easy
It would actually be kind of crazy to see Stanford be a top 5 team considering, if you've seen them they're really not that good but stranger things have happened.
So I saw the highlights this morning.....I guess the pantsing wording was wrong but what the fuck was Cristo doing getting too cute at the end and not just kneeling the damn ball? If you guys play like that, you can probably beat Washington in a few weeks. This is easily their weakest team over the last three years. Easily the weakest OL/DL in the past few years. Luckily for UW, this will be the worst they are in the trenches for the remainder of Petersen's tenure. But for this year, I think UW is a 2-3 loss team and one of those could easily be at Oregon.
I don’t know if Cristobal explained it in his postgame press conference but my only thought is that he didn’t do the math correctly in his head and thought that kneeling and Stanford having a TO left would leave them a chance so he had to run it a few more times to end the game. Idk that’s the only thing that makes sense to me. Oddly enough the Badgers did the same thing - up by 4 with less than a minute to play and Iowa only had 1 TO and they still ran regular running plays (although they scored lol)
Yeah that was a tough one. Like, I guess I can understand wanting to run for a first and definitively put it away. Verdell had a pretty great game and that was a nice run, just such a bone headed move to try and stretch out for extra yardage and expose the ball. Obviously kneeling and punting was the right play but had we held onto the ball and got the first I'd be praising the playcalling. What I'm still struggling with is the overturned touchdown when Verdell Redd hit the pylon, like okay if the rule is the ball wasnt over the plane when he touched it therefore its not a TD thats fine, but the next stanford score Love went just inside the pylon while the ball also did not cross the plane and they ruled it a score.. Not to mention that clear takeaway graham had that they didnt even review and what I thought was a clear PI in overtime. Just such a tough loss given how dominant we were in the first half and how amazing Herbert played in primetime and what should have been his heisman moment. Could have been 38-7 and game over but you just can't give the ball away like we did in the second half and expect to win. Nice to see the AP give us a little respect though and move us up a spot in the poll. But yeah to your point if we play like we did in the first half I don't see a game on our schedule we shouldn't win, I'm heading down to Eugene for the UW game and that should be a great one, gonna be nice to have the rivalry be competitive again
