*2024 tCun Shenanigans, Arguments, Cobras, Feckless Marmots, Fake Pandas, Dirty Cheaters

Who was it on Halloween 1987?
That was Michael Taylor’s first start for TCUN, after Demetrius Brown was injured in the prior game.

The team ran for 374 yards against NW’ern. Game

Taylor was the only QB to attempt a pass, and was 1 of 5 for 3 yards passing, the completion was to tailback Jamie Morris.

I was at 6-6 before The Trojan Debacle. I'm still at 7-5. Upcoming losses to Oregon, Pedsters and Ohio State, and they'll drop either Iowa or Illinois.
Don't write-off 6-6. I didn't see anything in that game that made me think they're better than I thought they were going in. Lincoln Riley put together a ridiculous gameplan and made it even worse by continually calling absolutely assinine plays. And their defense still has significant deficiencies...tackling at the top of the list. tCun were dead in the water for almost the entire second half until their defense pissed down their legs and let Mullings rumble down the field setting up the winning score. Not to mention that idiotic possession where USC could have sealed it, but decided to keep throwing like morons and only took 50 seconds off the clock. If they would have ran it a couple of times, they could have taken 2-2:30 off the clock and FORCED tCun to throw. I still say tCun could lose any of the games left on their slate.

Hell, run a 5-4 defense as long as you’ve got a LB or two that can reasonably cover a TE.
Which we have…

We should consider Hamilton/McDonald/Williams/JT/Sawyer on the field all game. Seriously they shouldn’t be subbed in for if things go correctly.

Reason I say this is if TCUN continues with this approach of running the ball every play there’s no excuses we can’t force a ton of 3 and outs.

Then at LB you can go Simon/Reese with the standard secondary. I have to be honest I don’t think Styles can play man vs Loveland.

I’d imagine we’ll actually be a 4-3 but we cannot be late to adjust if we are being hurt. We can’t wait until they have 150 yards rushing by halftime and 2-3 big hit scores like USC did. I know many here won’t admit it but watching USC lose the way they did sort of looked similar in a way didn’t it to last year for them? This team can beat us and I don’t think they are the gimme that many here (or in our fan base) think. They have the defensive line to throw our offense off and they have beat us before by lining up and bludgeoning us to death. It can absolutely happen and frankly that’s why I was more pissed after that USC game than I normally ever am when casually watching.

That loss would’ve really unraveled that program but now they have some momentum with this stupid style of play. Such a missed opportunity to have the wheels fall completely off.

If someone doesn't run a Bear Defense against these fuckers this year I'll be extremely disappointed.

Pretty sure USC tried it. Hopefully our DL and LB's are better than USC's. Some of the DE's look small so maybe they lined up their regular personnel in Bear. I wasn't able to spite watch the game so I took a look at the highlights to figure out how a top 10 team can get beat by a team that only threw the ball for 32 yards. This play ended up getting stuffed, but the next one in the highlights went for a TD against a 4-3. We'll need to be prepared to go big and really big.

Just have to play disciplined and not let them break those big runs. Tackle well and the safeties need to be in good position at all times and not take stupid gambles just in case they get past the Line and LBers. Without the long runs their offense is literally nothing.
