You know that the lights won't work if they do that.
His explanation of the situation is pretty entertaining - starts at 45:10 (whole interview, including description of interactions with CJK5H, starts at 25:30 and is a great listen)
Our Buffs do seem to have a good history of beating Leach teams in years when the experts would say we've got no business beating them.
Anybody know if Javier has been practicing this week and is expected to play? Or are we not expecting him back until next week?
Haven't heard a word. Coaches may as well not say anything in order to make game planning for WSU include an unknown that requires a bit more work on their part.
I actually fear Wazzu running the ball more than their pass game. I think CU could whether the passing game a bit better, but if the weather dictates they run the ball more, or Leach is smart enough to run it more, then CU is in big trouble. CU can't stop anyone in the run game and Wazzu has a very effective run game.
Some of Wazzu's effectiveness in their run game is due to teams planning for their pass game, but they've taken a big step in the run game this year from what I've seen.

Even getting Javier to play a few plays here or there could really help this struggling D-line.
Well let's hope Javier is ready to play man, I've yet to see much of anything from him.
Turnovers is how they'll have to. Find a way to get some pressure, he'll make mistakes.
The point I was making above. And USC always beats the **** out of us no matter what.
Except THEIR qb runs for 325 yards while our D is sucking oxygen hoses.
Really? Unless I’m mistaken, his defensive skill involves standing straight up at the snap and watching ANY back run right past him.
Except they are much worse without him
His job is to take up blockers, not make tackles. He hasn't been great at it this year, but we need all dlineman (especially NT) that we can get. Front 7 is as bad as you can get and any injury makes a big difference.

What does DJ know about defending air raid?

The 3-4 rush scheme is designed to collapse the pocket creating rush lanes for the fourth rusher, be it ILB, OLB or Buff. CU does not have the personnel up front nor the speed to execute this basic princiile. It is inexcusable that this is happening in year 5.
I'm not going to look it up specifically, but he's played and coached at the college level for 20 years. Pretty sure that Air Raid wouldn't be something all that exotic to him.
Better than defending the run?

I went back through his history. It’s not immediately apparent where/when he schemed against the air raid. Maybe Tulsa in 2006 as LB coach. Maybe you can find something different. This is a big game for him.
When he was at Rice, he definitely practiced against an innovative offense that spread things out in space. Pretty sure that was Herman's as OC when he was there. Not air raid, but same type of strategic priorities.
Weather forecast has slowly improved over the last 24 hours. Now essentially a coin flip if it is raining the 4th quarter - but still heavy winds.
I was torn on whether it was going to be in our favor or not, but if we thought it at least evened things out, the forecast hasn't broke that way.
Thanks John Madden
