Playing a triple option team is like playing rugby. Everyone has an assignment and you got to do your job. Best tacklers should play

It’s different now. And lynch described it perfectly at halftime. You have to fool the offense by chancing your assignments.

We didn’t do that.

In a previous post someone stated we are a 4-2-5 D and we did not change the look at all. That is very surprising.

It was so bad all the way through. This staff is awful. I don’t know that the players are that bad, they might be, but they deserve a shot with a real staff.

what? Is this true? Preventing reporters from attending a press conference??? Seriously, is this true? Could explain why we get zero coverage anywhere!

Reviewed this weeks depth chart and noticed the TE Fowler, is not listed on the 2 deeps. Also noticed we have transfers that have not seen the field this year; Hanson OT and Allen DT. I really thought they were going to help, but apparently I am wrong.

The offensive lineman must be really bad then.

Just to add: Joe Stein #1 TE, Chambers moved from RG to LG with Ty Mead from center #2 to #1 RG. Also #2 LB Brady Kerperin to #1 over Jashawn Nelson.

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last week all 3 started, but the AF game notes did not indicate that lineup.

Since Korcek and his staff left, the game notes have been on a constant decline. Does anyone at all miss the quality game programs we used to have for football, plus men's and women's basketball? Hell, even the Olympic sports had some type of free fold-over with rosters and schedules. Pretty sure there isn't a P4 program that doesn't have a game program and I can bet the better G6 schools still have one.

The tweet literally says the opposite of what you said. It says they were preventing reporters from leaving, not entering (not that it’s any better)

Your right! I read that wrong. I thought it said "before the presser". I would like to retract my statement. lol

Yes the lack of changes when your team has zero wins tells you a lot.

Does anyone know why Luke Skartvedt is out for the season? He missed significant time last year.

My resources say that he saw how bad this team was this season and decided f**k it.

He was in some sort of arm contraption on the sidelines at the last game. Broken elbow?

Thanks for the update - I think he missed last year for shoulder and saw him in a sling then.
