**** that. That's a game we should have won.

Agree almost completely. The crucial third down that Gamboa gave up was a poor personnel decision. Someone else posted it, but Gamboa should never, ever, EVER be on spy-coverage.
I think they’re nervous about his health, which is why they’ve made him more of a limited backup. Whenever he’s played, he has been MUCH better than tonz, especially in the run game.
Elliot was the best CU coach today. We have such a liability with the O line which was my concern before the season
I saw Winfree get 1 target.
WTF?

Not really. Our line was a lot worse last week than today.

Chev has to get more aggressive with his play calling, and he's gone to the well with the wildcat way too often. It's OK to run a traditional play on 3rd or 4th and short.
Maybe if Fisher gets into the end zone on the pick, things would have been different in terms of playcalling and everything changes. But alas.
Sucks to take L’s on these last two but we’re still ahead of where I thought we would be in the season and I’m still optimistic we can over perform my initial 7 win bet.
We can get better. We’ll get a few more W’s this year and we’ll get to a bowl game.

Did you watch the game?
They got major penetration/pass rush rushing 2-4 guys.
Kaiser whiffed at least a half dozen times.
Tonz was literally pushed on his arse twice.
We were a little over 3 ypc against 4-6 man boxes.
They got whipped.
He's getting too cute with the ball. Everybody was pissed about him overthrowing people, now he under throws them. As far as him reading a D, let me know when that happens.

We ran for 100+ and aside from a couple late sacks, Montez had enough time to make throws. I've seen this O-line get whipped, but today they just got beat here and there, and there continue to be way too many miscommunications on who has to block who.
Quit going peckerwood. No wonder we lost.
I guess we have 3 more "should" wins and 2 toss ups, but the toss ups are at Folsom
It is cute that you think CU running for 115 yards on 35 carries is a success.
Tackling sucked.

Yeah, and Oregon had 170 on 49 carries, and Auburn had 147 on 45 carries, Utah had 129 on 29 carries, an BYU had 34 of 28 carries, and ASU had 164 on 40 carries.
UCLA is the only team that averaged more than about 4 yards per carry, as they had 150 on 27 carries.
Point is, UW has an excellent run defense. Rushing for over 100 on them, by us, is absolutely a success and kept us competitive.
Me and Duff haven't always hit it off, he was right about this, though. That game was right there for them. You come up empty with turnovers, you're weeping, yes I know we got a couple they only got a fg on. The should wins is what I'm talking about. It was right there, they didn't take care of business.
People really need to move away from total yardage for passing and rushing to make their point and look at **** like yards per attempt.
Does my head in when a Defense that gives up the fewest yards against the run or pass gets called the best in that category.
From a defensive standpoint, giving up the fewest yards in a particular statistic, is essentially the best in that statistical category over the course of a season.

Agree. Efficiency measures are more important, more predictive of success.

Success against a team that's this good against the run is different than success running against a team like Oregon State. If you'd have given me an O/U of 3.5 yards per carry today, I would have taken the under.

Our LB's are very bad at breaking down and adjusting to the QB stepping up in the pocket. Could have had 5 or 6 sacks just off of that.
What's the better unit?
This is a NFL example
Run D
Total Yards 1363 (2nd)
Yards per Carry 4.0 (15th)
Rushing attempts faced 344 (fewest by 39)
Pass D
Total Yards 3643 (29th)
Yards per attempt 6.3 (4th)
Completion pctg 56.1 (3)
Rating 70.1 (4)
Pass attempts against 613 (most by 33)
Well it has been yearsQuit going peckerwood. No wonder we lost.
Rushing/passing yards per attempt and third down percentage are usually what I look for with a defense.

Is that passing total mean 29th worst or 4th best against the pass? Is this the same team, or are these each a different team?
It's hard to judge anything based on this data. The team you posted the rushing numbers for might have been scoring a ton of points and not had to face that many rushing attempts. They were still good against the run though.
You can't really judge season totals without knowing how teams performed in certain situations, IE first and 10, 3rd and longs. Just looking at end of season stats doesn't tell a complete story either.
For this example I'd go with the pass defense shown because they didn't allow a high percentage or yardage total despite facing a lot of attempts.
