We’ve ran the ball more than USU... 

[NM Green]

Our running game is so unimaginable. Did we get a new center? What is with all these snaps?

Exactly. We’re the team that can’t run the ball more than we are the team refusing to run the ball

[Green P1]

You wanna run the ball against a team that knows you can’t throw?  That sounds fun.  Let’s do it!!

What did you tell us?  I mean seriously, we were basically one dimensional once Fine got hurt. 

[laxtonto]

So you are telling me a team with one first down in the first half is struggling to run the ball? Shocked I say, shocked.

No Fine, no Rico, no reason to USU to not press up and stop the run.

And who's fault is that? My candidate is whoever made the decision to NOT give the other QB's game time during the season in blow out games.

Definitely  their fault for not giving them reps. Also, definitely  no way of knowing if it would have helped.

Welcome to the game Martin!

Honest question - how many teams really give game reps of any substance to backup QBs throughout the season. Consequental reps that matter? Especially teams that have an all world QB helping to put their program on the map....

Very few.

I posted this thread in reference to the series before Fine got hurt.  

Our defense $hit the bed on the first play and we come out without an ounce of patience, chunking the ball, not establishing a drive and putting our defense right back on the field.  

Then when we did hand off it was that same lame-ass delay draw between the tackles on short yardage.  

No sweeps, no misdirection, no getting Torrey the ball in space.

Then Mason is forced out of the pocket and gets hurt.

 

Pitiful!

But regardless of toughness, very few teams start a maybe five ten hundred and seventy five pound QB.

I believe that Love rarely played in the fourth quarter this year.

Yeah...would have been more fun than asking QB’s who have rarely played to keep throwing it to the wrong jerseys.  Might have kept it under half a hundred at least?

That looked to me to be a smart group of EXTREMELY UNDER PAID people on the other sidelines today.  

If people missed the first part of this game at home they missed seeing what looked to be a fired up, MOST EXCITED TO PLAY USU team vs a slow, unprepared, mistake-riddled....unexcited NT team team.

The altitude got ahold of the snaps.

We had no plan to run the ball from the very beginning of the game, which is what I was referencing when I posted this.  

But even late....snapping it and falling down three times before punting it away would have been better than what occurred..

True, but he's comparable in size to Kyler Murray.

Check out the scores of their games versus our results. They had many more opportunities than us to sit their QB. 

Sadly, Love wasn't that impressive to me. They won the game on the lines.

You mean like the Liberty, Incarnate Word, and Rice games?
