I just hope all the Corp and Mustain apologists and PC critics finally shut up.

Hopefully we get Barkley and Mays back next week and get this train back on the rails.

FIGHT ON!

Sad thing wasn’t that we lost, but I hate to watch a bad FB game last week two teams played well. This week only one team gave it their all, Turf isn’t a USC field but I swear they jived us. Arbo was saying that before season started he told a friend that this team wouldn’t go undefeated maybe 2-3 losses, to young.

Wow secondary is really thin

There will be another one next week and another and another so we shall see what this team is made of. Right now I would have to say this team still doesn’t have an outright leader.

1) This is Barkley’s team
2) We lost to a good team that will end the season ranked by only 3 points, without our best player (Mays), and with a bench warmer QB.
3) Never count Pete Carroll out

I was wrong about Corp. I admit it. He didn’t show any of the poise that I saw him have at practice. He forced a lot of dangerous throws, and it was surprising that he wasn’t picked off more times. I’m happy that he got his shot, but I’m not happy with what he did with it. He really can’t complain now.

As for the game…. the running backs lost it for us. Too many fumbles. It was atrocious. I have to hand it to the Huskies though. Polk was a mad man. He really pushed the pile after contact and fought for those extra yards. Jake Locker is the best QB in the Pac-10 by far, and he proved it today on 3rd and 17, and 3rd and 15. We went 0-9 on 3rd down, and thats all on the QB.

It wasn’t the best effort. People will try to turn this into another stanford, but its not. Washington is a good team, with a great QB. They will probably be in the hunt for the Rose Bowl.

Final thought. Stanford won with 4 picks. Huskies won with 2 fumbles and a pick. We are only beating ourselves here.

Oh yeah… and our special teams are killing us. How about having a punt return without a 10 yard penalty.

Rant Over

That douche of all douches, Wolf, is getting his just desserts over at his embarrassment of a blog. The fake quarterback controversy he promoted so vehemently went down in flames and the mob is savaging him mercilessly.
BTW, you Bruins aren’t looking so hot either (barely leading 13-9), hopefully you can hold on for our Pac-10’s sake.

For the third straight week we tried to beat a team without having our QB make plays and this time it finally caught up to us. The lack of adjustments on O were pretty obvious and Corp was so rattled in the third that the only reason he wasn’t pulled is because Barkley’s injury was really that bad.

Also Sark attacked the middle of our defense which has always been a weakness of our of scheme. We’ve always been susceptible to teams with good TE and Sark probably knows this better than anyone.

As if the rest of the Pac 10 hadn’t figured out the play book on how to beat us, I think Sark just showed them a whole lot more.

Aside from that, Jake Locker is the real deal. That guy made something out of nothing more times than I can recount. He might be the most complete QB in the conference right now.

I hope Barkley is healthy next week and that Bates and Morton finally open up the playcalling a little. As good as our O Line is and our RBs we can’t beat teams by running the ball every down. I think these next two weeks will define our season.

Because the Huskies didn’t beat us. WE beat ourselves.

I was at the frakkin game today on the 40 yd line most of the game only around 20 yds away from Barkley watching him toss the ball on the sidelines, jump around, pull on his helmet, jawing with his teammates and coaches, and all but beggin PC to put him in the game. Barkley was ready to go.

We lost because our RBs couldn’t protect the ball, we lost because Corp sucked like no SC QB has sucked in recent memory, and we lost because PC is so damn unwilling to ever pull a QB from the game.

But do not overrate the Washington Huskies. Rose Bowl contenders my ass. We could have should have won this game by 21 points. We gave the frakkin game to Washington. Jake Locker – we contained him awesomely. Polk – the same just check his stats.

WE beat ourselves today folks. UW is a pedestrian, 5-7 team at best. Pretending that Washington is a good team is a lame excuse for our crappy execution and nearly insane game management. USC beat USC today.

It is glaringly obvious that the “horrible play calling” was born of AC’s inability to throw the ball. The most painful scene was when Bates had to sit him down to review the gameplan and check-off the plays AC was not comfortable with.
He threw six times that I could count into double or triple coverage, so it was a minor miracle he was only intercepted once. His passes sailed like lame ducks, most of them underthrown, and he kept locking on to his intended receiver. He was so spooked that on the final drive there was no way Bates could ask him to throw a pass.
As far as the fumbles are concerned Joe was being Joe; but knowing the gameplan was out the window and doubting AC’s abilities, Johnson and Havili tried to wring every last inch out of their ill fated carries, instead of taking care of the ball.
Yeah Pete shoulders the blame, he blew it at the end of the second quarter and he should have pulled AC in the third, but if Mustain had laid an egg the uproar would have been that much worse. Finally, if Barkley can’t come back next week Garrett Green should be given the opportunity, as a Senior at least he’ll show some leadership.
Corp should move to wide receiver or transfer.
PS: We’ll be lucky to have 70,000 next Saturday.
