Fo me I didn't see the start of the UNM game that much of a "hangover". UNM came with some brand new looks and a new QB that we were not ready for. Then we start a drive against a tricky defense and our receiver litterally pitches the ball right into their hands.
The no-huddle offence USU and UNM works for a limited time. If YOU AND ELLE WE come and prepare for it, we will be fine.
They look better than mediocre to me, certainly not top 25, but not even a little close to the bottom 25, which is where we are usually at. My eyes say something, heart says same … brain says - don’t be so fn stupid, you know how this ends, you have multi-decades of proof.
Auburn isn't very good this year. Harsin is likely gone after the year. SJSU vs Wyoming is good game.
Is Robbins alright for the game? I have not seen anybody mentioning anything but the way he ran against UNM...kinda soft.
Auburn is @ #2 Georgia this weekend, @ #9 Ole Miss next week, then a bye before returning home to face Arkansas. The money guys at Auburn want Harsin gone so bad, he'll probably have to find his own ride home from Oxford!
SJSU defense seems to be as good as ours statistically. They are definitely ranked better than UNM but that may be due to the Lobos' offence ineptitude? SJSU defense is fast. They blitz a lot against Wyoming. The short pass and screen plays are going to be important as the running game. They are prone to long bombs and we have the WR for that.
UNLV had trouble recognizing much of anything against UNM. But that’s Long. I mean, I’ll call it quirky, unorthodox, gimmicky … doesn’t matter if it works. It’s almost akin to the old AFA/Princeton offense or even old LMU offense … it’s rare, it’s something you don’t see often, it’d hard to practice against; you need to get used to it. I wasn’t worried down 17-0. Because they weren’t panicking or pressing … they got used to it and adjusted accordingly.
