besides the usual 3 suspects, Raisins, Iq66, and Lord Sanka ie. the lady of the Fake Lake actually believe that USC would have come out of half and won the game yesterday in the cold damp Palouse if Fat Ass Hugs Helton was still the head coach at USC.
and no I don't believe Sanka actually believes half the tripe he posts, but notice it does generate clicks.
My guess was Fat Ass's strategy would have been hot cocoa as the half time treat. Now that's coaching. sc
I think so but not as convincing
do you really think Lardass would have gone for it on 4th and long TD at the end of the first half , and does that change your prediction? sc
@San Clemente USC is so much better than WSU talent wise, WSU doesn't seem to be the same without Leach.
and you don't think ucla is way more talented than Fresneck state? sc
Not particularly, no. I think the Bruins have a few athletes Fresneck would want, but overall I didn't see a whole lot of talent disparity. The QB had a lot better arm than DTR, that's for sure.
Now, that said, UCLA could have, and should have, definitely won if they'd been better coached, which of course they aren't. That's been the rub at UCLA for at least 20 years, and that's why they've sucked. So, to your point, yeah, WSU gives USC a game with Gomer at the helm.
Our secondary turns to dog shit when they face a good QB. Fresno St.'s QB is very good.
@ATLBRUIN UCLA's secondary isn't nearly as bad as the scheme they're forced to play. Yeah, the Fresneck QB is very good, and perhaps UCLA doesn't face another QB with his guts, that's for sure. But he probably doesn't make at least 15% of those throws if the UCLA DBs had been playing man...like men. The cushion they're being forced to play allowed an accurate QB like the Fresneck guy to chop them to pieces, and if the Bruins continue to play that type of pass defense again, they're going to be fucked for the rest of the season.
It's not really who beat the Bruins; Fresno looked pretty good. It's HOW they beat them. UCLA was so severely outcoached that it's almost pointless to be optimistic moving forward. I can't understand how so many seemingly experienced football coaches could have put their team (who, let's face it, busted their asses all night) into such a terrible position to lose that game. And this has been going on for about 20 years. It's fucking criminal at this point.
It’s just a really stupid question from a very insecure person
Put Helton on the sidelines of any game he's not coaching, and the steam will go out of the team. He's like a specter.
I think SC loses with Helton coaching. The wheels were coming off and they needed a leader. Williams isn't my choice for head coach, but he appears to be a far better leader than Clay (low bar, of course).
Fuck you, Haden.
@PeteBaglioni Williams let Orlando and Harrell run things. . No micro nanaging
In all the years with Helton at the helm, we have seen ZERO half time adjustments. Why would that have changed this past week?
you told us that it was the same team. Same soft whatever. Dena told us they were heltons players. Coaches. Program.
this is why you’re a double headed dildo. incapable of consistency If the first half is heltons fault then the second is his credit. Btw Helton pulled off a couple miracles last year so i don’t presume anything
for me it’s a huge double win. USC wins and I watch you spin like a top trying to make sense of the universe. You’re like the idiots who go try to commune with rocks and trees attempting to divine meaning out of things that have no life or soul spin away doc
If Slovis weren't injured, no. But with Dart in and his lack of exposure to Gomer's shit coaching, he would've improvised his way to a win. I prediected Slovis would be out by November and Dart would come in and do his best Darnold impression to get us to 8 wins.
Would've saved Gomer again. But of course Gomer did himself in and rah rahs are still trying to claim they never supported him, like Sanka
DC
@D CLEATER extremist much? Never said I didn’t ever support him.
I also think Slovis doesn’t win that game. There’s something missing about him. He’s off. He’s hesitant. He’s not as aggressive. He’s afraid to make mistakes. We never quite know until q back up arrives. Like when Slovis lit it up after daniels failed It’s pretty clear dart should be playing. It’s also pretty clear they’ve both taken shots and my prediction is both will start games this year. I just hope we don’t have to burn miller moss. He’s already played one game. Can only play I think 2-3 more
@Java Agree on that re: Slovis. But this is the same pattern we see with every QB under Gomer the last 6 years. They just regress the longer they are exposed to him. Of course this is only one game, but I found it very telling that he wasn't selected Captain. Maybe that has something to do with his confidence?
As the game went on you could clearly see Dart had leadership abilities that Slovis lacks.
DC
@D CLEATER I felt the same about the Captain thing. I suspected it was some black lives political crap. But the returning starting QB who is now a Junior, 3 year starter? That caught my eye. And let me say this. I think the kid is awesome. Every interview, every press conference. Total stand up. Not a lick of trouble on campus. Not a word about attitude. Model citizen. So I am super hesitant to criticize. This is a great story. A 3 star who sent silver spoon 5 star packing. Love it. But all last year. Something was wrong. And it's clear it aint fixed. Harrell is the QB and OC coach. So I am not dropping that on Helton. But my confidence in Harrell, a guy I was super excited about, is about 30% right now. I am about one more disaster game from wanted that guy out on a rail.
Not to take away anything from the win and what I think were good adjustments.
But wsu’s QB getting hurt changed the game, almost as much as Slovis getting hurt did. I think a Helton led team wins that game, but wins it ugly. It’s not like Helton hasn’t won game before where the other teams QB gets hurt, lol.
Or his own. Slovis arrived due to that. And Slovis got hurt and who was that other kid. Helped USC beat Utah. It can absolutely happen.
true, but a Hugs coached team quits. sc
