With Reid Forrest back there it would have been a guaranteed first down.

Too bad Musberger is calling UO/USC
I liked him until he completely blew the biggest call of last season, the TTU touchdown against Texas:

Anyone who starts a potentially game-winning play with "second down now"
Probably should find a new career.
Gus Johnson, on the other hand, would’ve spontaneously combusted.
I heart Gus Johnson.
The one bad thing about us totally obliterating ND and Winthrop two years ago is that we didn’t get to have Gus go insane for any of our good moments.

Yes, but he's a double-edged sword
I wanted to kill him when I was pulling for the Zags in the UCLA game.
But when you’re on the right side, he’s awesome
I was rooting very hard against the Zags.
So I loved every moment of it.

"first time tonight ND has started a drive in Cougar territory"
wow, that’s good, except we’re losing by 23, that’s bad
I gotta say
Overall, we’re doing a much better job of wrapping up while tackling.
We’re just not in position to do that before they’ve got 8+ yards.
Why do the guys from the blue "state" school love Bobby Bowden so much?

Yay football coach from another school!

me too.
clearly allstate has an east coast bias.
by displacedcoug on Oct 31, 2009 6:57 PM PDT up reply actions
And seriously, that has to be the worst endorsement deal ever
Allstate: Hey Bobby, we’ll pay you a ton of money, and you won’t even have to do anything. We’ll just mention your name once in a while.
Bobby Bowden: Sign me up! (runs down the hall en route to losing football game)
I just can't root against the Yankees with the passion that I used to.
It’s sad.

I understand it is a serious injury,
but turf toe sounds like the lamest thing ever. And yes, I did just use the word ‘lamest.’

I'd guess it's because we keep only rushing 3 people

It's sad the number of times we hear the words "touchdown saving tackle" associated with our team.

isn't every tackle a 'touchdown saving tackle,' really?

he should be
After all, he did get a perfect score of 100 in awesomeness

Well what are people supposed to do when they are being embarrased on National TV?
I actually thought we would…
a) cover the spread
b) continue some of what tuel started last game
c) maybe even upset
o-line is soooo bad … no real playmakers besides maybe forzani who is in the 2nd year of playing football and already a junior in college

Positives
Normally I am incredibly negative when it comes to the outlook of the Cougs and Wulff. But today I was pleasantly surprised. We didn’t get blown out by 55+ like we did last year. Tuel doesn’t look incompetent (remember Lopina/Lobbestael last year). We didn’t fumble 30 times (like it felt like last year). We sort of resembled a Pac-10 team- a bad one, but hey, its progress. Side Note: We were so unbelievably bad last year (duh), it pains me to think that we may finish a half game worse and be much improved.
standards
how far our standards and expectations have fallen… when a 40/14 loss is ok.
Expectations yes, standards no
I don’t think anyone is happy about these results. But if you don’t lower your expectations to be concurrent with the talent on the roster, you’ll just make yourself crazy.
Standards
Not sure if that statement was directed toward my comment or not, but either way:
We are Washington State. Standards? Really? We have been to 2 Rose Bowls since 1931. We aren’t exactly USC (or heck, Washington for that matter). While I think its wonderful we had 3 top 10 finishes, those aren’t standards we should expect (Total side note: but how can a Coug even totally enjoy those seasons when we lost to Washington each year?) Maybe our standards are different, but I’d rather get blown out by top 25 teams and some how find a way to upset Washington and/or go to a bowl (1982,1983, 1988, 1992, and 1994 come to mind).
