Amazing we won 11 games with qbs that were so bad at passing. Offense the year before was way better at consistently moving the ball. Our stats only look good cuz of the big plays we had this year.

Last years qb with this year's team? I think we would be undefeated and in Boises spot. Anyone think different?

The qb’s this year had 25 TD’s and 6 INT’s,
Last years qb’s had 17 TD’s and 12 INT’s
So the qb play wasn’t as bad as you think, yeah less passing yards but the team made it up in rushing yards. Combined total offense this year vs last year there is about 100yd difference.

Funny you mention Snyder, that IS the model that Harper keeps citing in his pressers when it comes to who he’s looking for or how the program should be run. Harper played under Snyder and knows who the real McCoy is when he’s interviewing coaches for the job.

He truly values hard work and as a result something special could be brewing here long term.

The fact Harper played under Synder, something I didn't know, makes complete sense. He knows UNLV could be turned around after 40 years of ineptitude because he was part of a similar transformation. Cool connection.

You know when we played on Fox for the championship game in Boise, Urban sounded like a guy that was keeping tabs on UNLV.

I thought at the time he was just deferring to the old MWC/Wac days when he was at Colorado State and Utah.

I do not have blind faith in Gloria.

She has "promised" payouts that may not come to fruitiion. I think she got somewhat bullish with the PAC which probably soured any merger potential (both are culpable IMO).

I think she wants to look like we are "winning" by making additions, while the PAC isn't whole but I can't see how any of these schools will help our payouts. I think she is is just driving the price down.

I like the UTEP add. It made sense, and it looks like it sparked something in their athletic department

I like the GCU add. We need more basketball schools, and they could eventually add football, but they need to be FCS at least 5 years first.

UCDavis? Don't get that one.

I mean the PAC is doing everything to keep their payouts high, even to the extent that they are being very selective in their last addition.

I wish would would do the same.

Once we see both leagues' contact values our decision to stay is going to hurt a bit.

Are they being selective or just running out of quality schools like the MW? Tulane and Memphis saying no really put the screws to them and then UNLV coming back and saying no really did

Well let’s not forget that most had this team winning 7-8 games. They definitely overachieved.

It looked like Hajj regressed but people don’t realize that Ricky White was almost always blanketed with double coverage. Cain and everyone else had a tough time emerging as a #2 option with drops and bad routes, then there’s Hajj hanging on to the ball too long. There’s a lot that goes into it, but again the number one thing for Hajj was to not turn it over. Complementary football.

Under CDM’s offense, you’ll be required to make a decision in a couple seconds and know where the mismatch is. That’s the whole point of CDMs offense, spreading the Defense and identifying the mismatch. CDM also values accurate passers. So we will see a totally different approach and look next season.

Instead they will be playing in a muddied version of the MWC with a new label and are about to experience the pain of giving Boise competitive advantages financially.

BSU's extra pay was between them and the MWC. I can't imagine they could hornswoggle a "Boise bonus" in the PAC. Times have definitely changed.

We would have been far less effective in the run game.

Maiava puts the ball in danger a lot.

We finish with about the same record.

Hajj struggled down the stretch but saying he couldn't pass when he had a pretty high completion percentage and threw for around 2k yards in 9 games seems kinda harsh.

Nice.

Won’t ever happen but it would be crazy to see Urban Meyer as Senior Advisor to the HC.

(Posted at 8:52 am, don’t steal my ideas Arrigo).

Football season is finally over and we can focus our attention on those Amazing Running Rebels. Kind of funny since turning our attention to bball used to happen mid-October. Times have changed!

Burning questions

Will the Rebels ever get to full strength?

Will we ever see a set 8 man rotation?

Will the Rebs win a game they aren’t supposed to?

How many head scratchers will they lose?

Will we ever pass the ball up court for a quick easy bucket?

Will CKK turn things around and return next year?

Does Harp have a list in his pocket?

Hard to say. I think we would had have at least one more win. Lets look at QB stats for the three losses.

1 V Syracuse. Hajj played well against Syracuse, he was 21/25 passing for 227 with 57 yards on the ground. Other than the lone interception, I m not sure how much better we could have done there with a passing QB.

2. V Boise. Against Boise went 12/21 with 179 yards with 144 rushing. Here I think another QB might have won this game.

3. @ Boise. 13/28 for 110 yards and 98 on the ground. I think it would have been closer here, but the result would have been the same. Boise's defense was dialed in. Our pass protection was suspect here.

Hard to criticize Hajj, like Sluka, his numbers were not good in terms of percentages in completions.

BUT when we needed a play, they made it happen. The other thing is, Hajj was not rattled last night. He was calm cool and collected. That has an impact and Hajj is a good QB for a team built on complementary football (meaning you need a QB to NOT turn the ball over).


So while the stats aren’t pretty, he did his job. Next season will be a different story and CDM did say they are running a spread offense.
