Here's the thing: If you're not an option team, and you call option, you shouldn't expect it to work. The Huskies can only call speed option when they have a down to waste. Yes, it might pay off huge...but it also might blow up in your face. It cannot be the "gotta have it" play for a team that isn't built around the option.
The biggest shame is Coach Fisch didn't know what play to call at the end and was looking over his play sheet. Don James would've known in August what he was going to run there.
Coach Peterson said if it’s not part of your core identity, don’t run it in that situation. Clearly Fisch doesn’t know his own team’s core identity. He obviously is no DeBoer.
@@aaah8447sure thing boss. Kalen lost to a poor UCLA and Arizona his first year. Let's get a body of work to examine...... Arizona has a real nice body of work to look back on.
@@paulkysar6207truth. Crazy that people bringing up past coaches like they were flawless. We knew coming into this year it would be difficult with all the turnover. Coaches are still learning each other and the players. Peterson didn’t have a perfect season his first year here. Don James lost to an Oregon State team that we were favored by four touchdowns, but all I hear is such and such wouldn’t happen if Don James was coach. This loss sucked, but WSU wanted it more in a game we weren’t that highly favored. There is still a lot of growth that needs to happen and it won’t come overnight. Try to enjoy the ride and process.
This team is not a super experienced team yet. Lots of new pieces, lots of new coaches. I think there's a lot of potential, but mistakes will be made early this season. Washington State was good enough that the Huskies couldnt afford those mistakes. Will need to grow fast before Michigan, Penn State, USC and a couple others... otherwise a winning season and a bowl game will be difficult to attain.
In that last play, there was no misdirection or motion, also why didn't they spread out the defense? Plus that offensive line just is not good enough to run that type of play there was no way they were going block that play right.
We knew there would be stumbling out of the gate. I don't expect Fisch to get DeBoer results but we'll see. I watched both Coug games and knew they were scrappy. It is what it is. Regroup, fix things and head back out
First - GO COUGS! Second - The Huskies needed less than 2 yards to score the go ahead TD - You call a play that all of your data and experience tells you is a 2 yard play most of the time. Third - Execution is the key. The COUGS executed on D and the dogs didn't.
Definitely still the Apple Cup that’s an idiotic take. Cougs outplayed, out coached when it mattered end of story. You also never run speed option into the boundary on the goal line. Wildcat with Jonah would’ve had a higher probability of scoring
You're probably a Coug, but Brock is the only Dawg I know who is continually "whining" about it! If it's UW vs. WSU, and the Apple Cup trophy is at stake, DUDE, IT'S THE APPLE CUP!
I am a uw graduate, I think the rivalry is still there. Huard is a poser. Someone did a great job pumping up his ego to this age. I guess some people really practice fake it till you make it.
This is his fourth year, so not sure how we can jump to an “overrated” conclusion especially how his first three years went. Arizona was trending up before he left and it was not a school that was in a good place when he took over. We really don’t know at this point, but I love the recruiting, mix of experience he picked up, his NFL philosophy and the network of coaching contacts he has if assistants move on. I think that should be a recipe for success.
