Agreed...last week his completion ratio in the first half was "not so good", improved in 2nd half...still not so good, but all in all he did a pretty good job...he has character and is a fighter...I like. Canales seems to be able to get real performance out of RD, vs last year, where he was terrible...way too many turnovers. So far, so good...like canales, we will wait and see!

He went 11 of 14 in the second half, so if that is "not so good" what is your definition of good? I would say 11 of 14 for 201 yards and 3 touchdowns in the second half is pretty damn impressive.

Sorry, we expected nothing worse than 20-14 in the second half to make up for the first half. Your kind of thinking is what has held us back in the past, no more!

I believe we have a DB that shares the same number of Tune

I hope these erroneous participation reports are corrected and do not hurt Tunes consideration for a waiver.

Those responsible for the confusion have been sacked

I like llamas.

Under appreciated comment. Isn't Tune Swedish?

Riley had a good game against Troy, but that doesn't change his arm strength. There is 0 threat of a deep ball for opposing defenses right now (which makes Riley's numbers against Troy even more impressive).

Thompson will start next year, and Riley will move back to the slot, where I think he will be one heck of a player.

Riley could win the Heisman and houstonmeangreen would still find something wrong with him. Just the way it is.

Riley has been our best qb all season statistically. But the others haven't had much of a chance either.

But I still say the kid isshowing off they great skills he has. So far the only bitch about him is tht he can't throw the ball downfield. I beg to differ. He had 9.2 yard per attempt in the last game. He does have a meager 6.7 yards per comp overall. I know he doesn't throw deep but under canales he is seeing things that haven't been there in the past and those numbers will keep rising. Throwing a deep ball isn't everything and a 15 yard out seems to be something that Riley can throw for yards.

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
