SMH… you’re right but it shouldn’t be.

I’m positive we didn’t realize there was only 6 seconds left.

Otherwise we just try the FG

If Day can't win a National Championship with this roster, it's never happening.

Still can't believe they didn't get a shot at FG when they were already in range. That hurts to lose that game you should won.

12 team playoffs but you wanted #1 seed

I’m glad my dad is somewhere in Africa instead of blowing up my phone tonight, because he would be fucking pissed And I don’t have the patience to deal with that tonight!

Which had 12 people on the field at the snap…

But sure

12 men isn’t presnap penalty. It’s like offsides. You let the offence have a free play. Problem is we did t want the free play.

Good game guys. I felt Oregon left too many points on the field but I don’t think there is a defense that can stop us once we get rolling. Both teams will make the playoffs, or possibly meet in the big ten title game. Rest of the big ten is complete shit. Good luck rest of the year.

Another loss in a big game. Sigh.

My ops manager is a Kansas State grad and huge fan. Said as good as Howard is, he does a lot of bone-headed shit that has you shaking your head. Tonight was one of those. But this defense sucks! I’m sorry, but I’ve been saying it over and over. 33 and 44 can go. JTT only plays up against one team, Penn State. Now we have to beat Penn State just to make the damn playoffs. Meanwhile fucking Clemson will run the damn table and make it even though they looked like shit vs Georgia. We lose another game, and I don’t give a damn if we beat Michigan, Ryan Day has got to go!

Ryan Day, enough said. Guy is not a championship coach. New year, same story.

Stop it.

Jim Knowles blew it.

Not Ryan’s fault

31 points wins everytime without the mistakes.Penalties turnovers and onside kick.

It was a PRE SNAP penalty

Nope. A pre-snap penalty blows the play dead.

When he started to run, but still 2-3 yards behind the line Smith was open right in front of him to get to the 30. Not sure if there would have been enough time, but smarter then whatever the hell he did.

Howard just isn’t it

Hahaha

Maybe say Knowles isn’t it before castrating a kid who just went for 300+ with no turnovers

Ryan Day, enough said. Guy is not a championship coach. New year, same story.

Bingo.

Gtfo with this generation defense talk.

Couldn’t get 1 fucking stop when it mattered

I never saw this defense being anything other than "good". Nothing from previous seasons gave me indication that this year would be any different.

it's not a pre-snap penalty though...

I mean it was but whatever.

Fuck it.

Two weeks to stew on this.

Just fucking awesome

Everything that could have went wrong, did. Burke having the worst night of his career. At Autzen, at night ish, with some terrible calls. This team's only getting better.

Seasons not over yet

Yeah. It’s a learning experience. I’m pissed but less concerned overall.

Every team will drop one in this era. On the road to a top 5 team? It stings but go win out.

I disagree.

This is an alleged "veteran" team. They don't need learning experiences.

Unfortunately, the clock on the TV isn't the official time. The officials keep time on the field.

Keep your facts out of this, mister!

DaiMonMoore said:

That is 100% on Day.

Even if you think Howard should know that, it's 100% on Day to tell all the players that.

He continues to show that he WAS born on 3rd base, and he'll likely be stranded there.

Give me a fucking break. We know you’ve pulled this Days a horrible fucking coach schtick for awhile.

Defense lost the game. Plain and simple. Couldn't tackle, and couldn't get off the field. They finally played a team that didn't shoot themselves in the foot.

LordJeffBuck said:

I still question whether Will Howard can win a big game by himself, but with the rushing attacking and opportunistic defense he may not need to.

Click to expand...

My question has been answered – he can't.

Day is what? 1-6 vs Top 5 teams?

We cruise against teams we should beat and lose against teams that are close to our talent level or even below.

Something has got to change. The defense has been a problem for years now.

Now Ped State in slappy valley is a must win if you want to play for the conference title. What a fucking shit show.

Ped State got away with 2 clear DPIs in the overtime (on the only 2 USC pass plays) and weren't called. Refs make a huge deal to outcomes.
