CFB 2017 Week 7 |OT| Chooooklahoma, where the Cyclones come wrecking up the plains

If enough top tens lose, does Clemson actually fall in the rankings ?

They'll be under Clemson and UGA for sure. Oklahoma too. Not sure outside of that.

This makes me really appreciate the fact we've won 71 straight games against unranked opponents. Saban just doesn't do letdowns like this.
 
I hate the Huskies, but I don't like to see Trey Adams go down like he did. Dude was poised to have a lucrative career in football. Probably still will, but it looks like it'll have to wait.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
I don't know where the Beavers go from here. Surely not Riley 3.0. It's always going to be an uphill battle in Corvallis, but Andersen's performance at the challenge that is Oregon St was disgraceful.

I think Ken Niumatalolo is the guy they should go after. He runs an offense that could work in Corvallis and get some wins and show a new look to the conference. He can recruit better at OSU than Navy.. and it's closer to home for him. He can recruit Polynesian players really good at OSU, and they have a history of recruiting them.

It seems like the perfect fit.



Also, Washington just playing like shit... Browning is playing terrible. That last series he overthrew guys... badly.

Pettis missed out on at least 10 yards be hesitating there... hate when guys do that... get the yards on the punt return.
 
I'm surprised by how outclassed Washington has looked in this. ASU has executed way better sure, but ASU has looked way more athletic and physical.

EDIT: Holy shit, I can't believe UW missed that fg.

Fucking missed a gimme... and there was no point in trying that FG anyhow.. you needed 2 scores with it or without it.. so go for the TD.

Burmeister is at his best rolling out. He's a true freshman.


They haven't rolled him out once.
They haven't called a single screen.
They didn't call any last week.


Who is calling these plays?

I think the defense has played like 10,000 snaps the past couple weeks. I would like to see more, but I can't be hard on them when they watch three and out over and over, and failed 3rd and 2,3,4 not converted.


What is with the playcalling on O? It's been such predictable shit the last few weeks. I'm sending a DM to Arroyo on IG tonight.

I always feel bad for kickers. Because a lot of the time it is a bad snap, and the holder cannot get right, or a good snap and the holder cannot get it right, and the kicker has to adjust to that shit on the fly. Just a no win situation most of the time, and if you do miss, analysts almost never go back through the kick and analyze what went wrong. You just missed it, and that it is all on you.
 
Oh fuck this shitty game. Now Bryce Love is in the medical tent?

That I cannot reason. It's just been like this with backup QBs ever since Helfrich. There is no QB that is trusted to do anything.

Fucking hell... Browning.. wtf...

WTF is up with with Washington teams this weekend... playing horribly.

They roll out Burmeister and complete a pass. What is this revelation?! It's almost like they could've had forward passes in the game plan 😑

Just looked at the stat line for Burmeister... 2 for 6, 15 yds and 2 INT's.

Holy shit.

Taggert, just Gary Andersen this game and regroup for next week.


They were actually really good plays from Stanford. The O coordinator is not letting him do anything nor playing to his strengths. Zero screens.

I think that was the plan ever since Herbert went down.

I long for the day when a Masoli, or Nate Costa is waiting in case of emergency. Burmeister doesn't really even have an elementary understanding of reading a defense at this level. The problem is I would have liked to see some growth from him, but he's remained pretty static. It's hard to develop in the fire though.

My phone is at 73% so I don't have enough battery left to go into why this is happening, but I'll just say this:

If this were feudal Japan, our entire coaching staff would slice their stomachs open at midfield after the game.

If you were taking a shot after every Browning overthrow you'd be passed out almost 2 hours ago.. you should have played that.

People forget Oregon 2/3 stringers transferred this summer too so he's basically the 5th stringer.


Kinda weird we haven't seen Alie at all.

..and who's fault is that? That's on Taggart.

We should have went with PJ Fleck. I think he's done better at Minny than Taggart has at Oregon so far.

Oregon has no identity.

Yeah, it's going to take some time. Especially considering Helfrich's lack of recruiting. Willie has already proved to he can do it.


Curious they went and got that pro style QB. Seemed like an odd fit but the kid can play.

Eh. He got Carrington, Crosby and Royce to stay. He's good in my book. Leavitt was the biggest get.
 
I will say, I didn't realize Taylor Alie was healthy. He showed he could move the ball through the air before he got knocked out. I don't think much of him by any means, but why kill Burmeister's confidence. Just throw the senior in.

...and on cue he's in.

Good point. I have to guess there is a longer term plan and identity for the program the corresponds to that.
