Line ‘em up: Predictions and Game Thread USU

[Rosegreen1]

This defense isn’t as good as advertised. Only decent team UNLV has beat is Fresno. Houston and Kansas is absolute garbage,

Defense has 3 turnovers in this game. Without that we’d be in trouble possibly.

We clearly aren’t playing at full speed in the second half. That’s when you empty the bench and have guys playing at 100 miles an hour instead of 50 like we’re seeing here.

Oh my....how many times is HMW going to have to watch his life flash before his eyes? Thats like, a lot tonight.

The defense gave up a ton of yards in the first half. This isn’t just a second half. You take away the 3 turnovers this games close

 

[XFactorRebel]

Is the entire team packing it in? Already on a mental plane back to vegas?

Something... the oline tonight has been atrocious

 

[XFactorRebel]

Last years 4-1 start called, said they want their team back. LOL! Jesus Christ......

Yes I really don’t like having your first string creating bad habits for themselves. Not sure what the goal is with this second half approach.

 

[XFactorRebel]

I mean I think they're fine tonight, but damn I am getting nervous. This shit needs to stop...asap. Starting to feel like 4-0, 4-1, potential 5-0's are a curse for us.

 

[Mojo702]

I really think we're going to be in trouble the next 2 weeks

100%. Again can’t get off the field on third down.

Agreed

Yeah, I give them credit for the 3 TOs.

I just think they should be replaced with the bench after being up 3-4 scores as a reward. Guys are packing it in because they have to play a whole game. I don’t understand what CBO was trying to do there, it’s too late to pull the 1s from the game unless we get another stop.

 

[unlove]

Another 3rd & long for USU. Let’s see if we can get off the field or give up another long yardage play.

 

[rebelzzz]

We are playing as bad as we have since Odom came to UNLV. This second half is horrible football. Both offense and defense.

 

[XFactorRebel]

Is it we're just balling out first half and need more stam 2nd? What is going on? More horses needed?

 

[unlove]

Our defense seems gassed, again. Perhaps that’s why Marion is calling run plays.

 

[RebelinWA]

Did I hear the broadcast right? Catalon is injured? Well, there goes the season.

 

[unlove]

And now the penalties

 

[Masked_rebel]

So undisciplined

 

[unlvlurker]

Damn they needed that

 

[unlove]

School record for pass completions by USU QB. That’s embarrassing for our defense.

 

[Mojo702]

This second half sucks ass

 

[Masked_rebel]

He's on the sideline still in pads, concussion maybe?

Maybe so, I hope they get their legs back under them soon or it's gonna be a rough 2nd half of the season like last year.

 

[XFactorRebel]

omg lol at least he got out lol

 

[unlove]

Nice run by Hajj but he took his eyes off the ball on the snap. Second time cameras have picked that up that I’ve seen.

 

[rebel5280]

We are not going to beat Boise and we might lose to both Oregon St and SJSU!
This team has been exposed on defense and the offense is okay most of the time but bad play calling is going to hurt us down the road!

 

[Boston Rebel 2]

Our defense is being exposed. Don't understand why we are hanging back 8yds or so on their receivers off the line. They see it and they're just throwing short passes under it. Exactly what Syracuse did to us all have long.

Are they playing off the receivers or do they lack cover speed? Between our defense looking mediocre as hell outside of the turnovers our O line getting pushed around like children by a D line without a single starter is pathetic. I am not impressed with this win. You won’t get 4 turnovers vs Boise. Our run blocking and RB’s were the best part of this game. Hajj had some good and some bad.

 

[XFactorRebel]

ur up 20 why bother with that shit. acting like a bunch of children...

 

[Rosegreen1]

The focus isn’t there, should have been pulling these guys a quarter ago. CBO needs to wake up.

 

[RebelScrub]

Haha..the game is in the bag, don’t know what you guys are complaining about..

Good question. Even more why I don't get it if they lack cover speed. You'd think you would man them up more and closer to the line, not zone and force them to try to use the bad cover speed.

 

[Mojo702]

We only score 9 in the second half?

 

[Rebel1986]

Interesting to see all of the ads for Grand Canyon University on CBS during the MWC game. I wonder if this has any meaning?

Our offense I think will be fine the one question apparently is our offensive line. But I think we will put up points. The problem is without turnovers our defense can’t stop anyone.

 

[Rosegreen1]

Elad down. Goddammit.

 

[RebelinWA]

Elad down. Goddammit.

Elad, Mcduffie, and Catalon? Damnit.

 

[XFactorRebel]

Haha..the game is in the bag, don’t know what you guys are complaining about..

against a 1-4 utah st team, I think our "complaints" are about the habits, attitude, strat and focus are going to get us mauled by roughly 3 of the remaining teams this year.

 

[XFactorRebel]

Elad, Mcduffie, and Catalon? Damnit.

Not ideal.

 

[unlove]

OSU will be a loss if we don’t start cleaning up this defense. They really don’t have a quality win when you dig into their schedule but if they’re QB can pass the ball they’ll have a good shot against us.
