Other games weekend of 10/11-10/14

Watched most of the WSU/Boise St. game last month and knew WSU wasn't for real. The USC win was nice but the Trojans were vulnerable and overrated as it was. Cougs are a good team, but not Top 10 good.

I hate the SEC but acknowledge that fandom exists on another level down there. Death Valley is on my list. Hope your son has a blast!

Yeah. I'm pretty sure he's getting blasted. Oh. Wait. You meant something else. Right?
 
Cal is no joke. Opportunistic D, solid ST, decent O. Not a gimme for the Buffs, especially if the OL keeps pass blocking like a bunch of girl scouts.

Hope we took notes on what cal D was doing. Deruyter smart guy.

DeRuyter makes 300,000 this year, offset by FSU buyout so he is going OK. But in year 3, the only makes 500,000.

CU is paying a demoted DC 700,000.
 
Leach was telling it true. A lot of teams struggle with being a front runner, and Wazzu certainly did last night.
 
FSU @ Duke tied at 10 early in the 4th. Mich @ IU 13-10 Blue early in the 3rd.

True, but even Clemson last night struggled with playing inspired/focused football.

Right, but Mike Leach teams are good for 4-5 losses a year... luckily he is a "national treasure" because he just says whacky and crazy things in press conferences. He might just want to focus on coaching instead of trying to make it all about him all the time.

He runs a consistent offense that works, however, it is nothing that will ever be a championship style of football. Good enough for a top 15-20 team, but nothing better. The other stuff is great to listen to and won't complain. Still wouldn't want him as my teams coach, as we are seeing his ceiling.

Some of it is funny. Other times, it seems like the media gives him a pass for having his team totally unprepared because he says crazy stuff after the games.
 
I wouldn't read much into that game last night about either team.

An average WSU effort (plus no ridiculous refereeing) has them up at least 17-10 at the half. They were awful in all three phases most of the night, but they still moved the ball enough to threaten before making costly mistakes (or get screwed on that one TD pass). I wouldn't count on seeing that effort in Pullmam next week.

As for Cal, give them credit for capitalizing, but WSU made some ridiculous, unforced errors last night in the first half, and then quit in the 4th quarter. They are improved defensively, and they had a good offensive game plan last night, but without all of the WSU mistakes in the first 3 quarters, I highly doubt the 4th quarter goes the way it did.

They were moving the ball with ease, but were consistently shooting themselves in the foot. 7 turnovers will also do that to you. Cal did have a bunch of sacks as well, but seemed like Falk couldn't find an open receiver most of the time on those sacks.

Even some of the sacks were ridiculous. Falk was sacked on a corner blitz at one point, the RB was in exactly the right place, but put his head down and lunged instead of just meeting the rusher. Barely made contact and only slightly slowed the guy down on his path to sacking Falk.
 
South Carolina wins, in large part due to dreadful clock management by Jones. Wasted ten seconds for no reason.
