Run-bows

I would like to see more of a wide-open passing offense, but by the end of the season, I think the rushing average will be higher, We may see more of Cole McDonald in an option style offense in red zone and other short-yardage situations. That’s my guess.

Duster:

if your “hunch” is correct — I sure hope UH does not call too many “up-da-middle” plays

or, use this as a “ruse” and go for a pass or run for the corners — especially if Tuiasoa is the RB

I liked the mis-direction call with Cole running the ball in the Western Carolina game to the opposite side and wide open spaces — notice haw many times Dru is facing a wide open field after handing the ball to #22?

IMHO, feints or ruses should be part of the offensive game package and not considered a “trick-play” as mentioned by so many sports casters — by the way, now that the “spread” is officially part of most if not all college/pro teams, what’s his name ( Herb sidestreet ) does not mention it all — like now he used to blast UH and Colt about being a one-dimensional team and reason for so many passing yards

any one noticed the “hook ‘n ladder” play after they blocked the field goal? missed that at the game, but saw it on re=play.

Apparently I watched a different event, even though I was there. Warrior OL essentially had its way with Cowboy front-2nd level but mostly third level made all the tkls. A patchwork D held this group to 260 yards total-4 plays counted for over half of the yardage. Josh, who? Gimme a break/special teams faltered and that was key. Wyoming scored on a K-O return and a failed go for it on 4th failed attempt. No morale victory but great effort-waitin for whole package to surface-it will! GoWarriors!

at 3:46 in the 4th quarter.

Out gaining our opponents is overrated. Bottom line is you have to score as many points as u can. 21 points in college football is far below average. When u lose the penalties battle, lose the turnover battle, lose the kickoff and punt return battle that was too much to overcome. To just take it to overtime was short to amazing as it was. Plus, losing 3 defensive linemen was huge too. Don’t tell me it didn’t make a difference. Bottom line, I am disappointed. Every little mistake is magnified when you end up losing a tough game. U can’t get this loss back. The more I think about it the more I get pissed. Wyoming didn’t win this game, we lost it. What does Rolo say?

We have a young coach staff that’s learning the old fashion way – by trail and error. I’m sure no one is more aware than the staff that errors in judgement have been made. I’m pretty sure Rolo is learning something every time he reflects on what went wrong.

What I like about the team is the growth they’ve made from last year to this. The offense is now Rolo 2.0 as compared to last year’s 1.0 version. I really feel as the season goes along Rolo will add more “apps” to the offense so it’ll have the capability to do more. I hope Rolo is around long enough to roll out versions 3.0, 4.0, 5.0…..

…. hang over ….

from today’s ST column:

” …. it appears that two players were out of position on the WYO kick off return. … “

Special teams need a lot of work. Defense looks better stopping 3rd down plays. Need to be more creative on offense and no more predictable Cole McDonald plays we know are coming. Still way more exciting than any Norm Chow Teams. We are headed in the right direction. Must have quality recruits.

Watch for explosive plays by the opponent. Wyoming had 9 plays of 20 or more yards, while UH had only two, per Ferd.
Three of those Wyoming plays went for TD’s and one was a 59 yard run where they scored later.
They also had three other kickoff returns of 20 yards or more and a 37 yard punt return.

# 16. lol.

In fact, you should email your post to

smitty, stutz and rolo.

mebbe they ketch on a little bit.

lol some more.

This weeks opponents present a challenge. They are good but how good is the question-still say and believe that if the effort to match the ambition of this team is realized it will be a great game. They are coming off a bye so they have had time to heal and practice but they are on the road and do face the time differential and the heat. They do seem to yield points on defense so that’s the task at hand for the offense-defensively, having a full complete group-hopefully highly motivated should keep us in the game. Can’t give up special teams big plays. Gotta score at least 4 times on offense period. GoWarriors!!!!

I guess. I think in terms of value. Who’s got it? Then play. C.S.U. is also good. Hawai’i struggling at home is a good indication a backup quarterback should start. McDonald or Brownholtz. Both acceptable. + 3 1/2 Hawai’i.

NBA Clippers is here. 6-10 1/2 Blake Griffen, 7-0 DeAndre Jordan. Tall.

Do the Warriors script the first 10-20 offensive plays? It seemed to me that Wyoming was hell bent to stop the run on first down at the beginning of the game, but UH did not start throwing on 1st down right away to counter it.

perhaps the 2 starting DL will play lites-out to make up for their transgression last week and missing the Wyoming game

trying to figure out why UH OC is not calling Unga’s name over the middle on 15+ yards out — he has the height and speed to match the safeties — especially when the safeties are split out to help the CBs cover our receivers
