Papa, STFU.

Also, to address why a certain player is not getting more reps: he's recovering from a lower leg injury. Besides, how many here actually thought the Cats could go to Oregon and beat OSU? Seriously. All those secondary issues are being corrected as I type my worthless two cents worth in a sports chat room.
Go back, as UTUCATS has done, and look at your stupid ass posts. Then, go back and listen to all of Coach Vigen's media statements. He said after the first game the kid is injured. We've got a Butte kid playing quarterback again! How many other AA kids would even be out on the field after the injury he had in the National Championship game? None. We're going to replicate NDSU whether all you air raid dipsy doodle ****** football fans like it or not. That's why Coach Vigen is here.

Re: The official-Unofficial Bobcat-Oregon State gameday thread!
And that's my point. If there was a reason the staff was comfortable with you knowing, you would know. Maybe he's protecting the kid somehow. Maybe they don't trust him but don't want to say it in public. Maybe maybe maybe who cares, he's not getting carries because Chambers mellott and the receivers are better choices. If it starts costing us games or injuries that is another story but it hasn't and likely won't. I won't argue it was good coaching to run Tommy at much as they did in the second half last week but more generally, he has to run a bunch to set up what he can do throwing. He's not beating anybody from the pocket at this point in his development.luckyirishguy25 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 8:11 amThe thoughts in your heads.... no one has said they know more than the coaches.

For the “I don’t like getting lied to” crowd, what if Vigen said Ifanse wasn’t ready yet heading into Cat Griz, then he shows up and runs for two hundo, and we spank the Griz. Would that be ok? Lol

Or... and just spitballin here... let's say the staff knew Sunday that their best player would be out for cat griz, and didn't tell anyone all week, and then put a lopsided beat down on the griz without him. Hypothetically.

Re: The official-Unofficial Bobcat-Oregon State gameday thread!
I have a little rant bc I've seen a few posts on how the new DC isn't good, the scheme isnt good, the performance against OSU was unacceptable, etc.
The people who think that, do you think we did any better against NDSU? Because we did not. And that was with Banks, and a lot more defensive talent. Now I know NDSU "only" scored 38, but we couldn't stop them at all. They just play a different style of offense, but they easy could've hung 60 on us. We were just outmatched. Obviously that's simplifying things, but we didn't perform any worse against OSU than we did against NDSU.

Good point. No fans know how good we are this year. Cats have a proven track record the past few years of getting stronger as the season goes on and peaking in December.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

Re: The official-Unofficial Bobcat-Oregon State gameday thread!
I think the Cats should continue to get better as our defense figures it out and some more RBs become available. Offensive line should help ease that process. Being able to pick up positive yards on the ground even when the opponent expects it is huge. The griz ended last season dominating us and then EWU, who they lost to in the regular season so not sure how you can say they peaked early. They ran into a JMU team that was simply better, Griz had no viable QB and got whooped. To be fair, JMU was leading NDSU in Fargo in the 4th quarter of their playoff game last year. Just think NDSU and JMU were probably a notch above everyone else last year.catatac wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 11:03 amGood point. No fans know how good we are this year.

Re: The official-Unofficial Bobcat-Oregon State gameday thread!
South Dakota ST beat the bison last year, and we beat them in the semi's by 14 points. They weren't THAT far ahead of us but yes the bison were the better team that day. Losing our star QB in the first 2 minutes, who led us on that whole cinderella run in the playoffs, didn't help the team psyche and the game would've been alot closer had that not happened.MT Logger wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 12:47 pmI think the Cats should continue to get better as our defense figures it out and some more RBs become available.

A few more sustained drives that maybe result in points but just less clock for NDSU to run all over us

Re: The official-Unofficial Bobcat-Oregon State gameday thread!
Or maybe with the game a bit closer, NDSU thinks they need to throw it a bit more and go into the strength of our defense. We generate a turnover or a couple sacks... and probably still lose but the point is losing Tommy made a difference.thisnamesucks wrote: ↑Sat Sep 24, 2022 7:00 amThe only thing having Tommy would’ve done would have been to make the game shorter and therefore closerBelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 2:05 pmA lot closer?

Losing our star QB in the first 2 minutes, who led us on that whole cinderella run in the playoffs, didn't help the team psyche and the game would've been alot closer had that not happened.MT Logger wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 12:47 pmI think the Cats should continue to get better as our defense figures it out and some more RBs become available. Offensive line should help ease that process. Being able to pick up positive yards on the ground even when the opponent expects it is huge. The griz ended last season dominating us and then EWU, who they lost to in the regular season so not sure how you can say they peaked early. They ran into a JMU team that was simply better, Griz had no viable QB and got whooped. To be fair, JMU was leading NDSU in Fargo in the 4th quarter of their playoff game last year. Just think NDSU and JMU were probably a notch above everyone else last year.catatac wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 11:03 amGood point. No fans know how good we are this year. Cats have a proven track record the past few years of getting stronger as the season goes on and peaking in December. I think that trend continues, hope I'm right.BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 10:39 amI have a little rant bc I've seen a few posts on how the new DC isn't good, the scheme isnt good, the performance against OSU was unacceptable, etc.
The people who think that, do you think we did any better against NDSU? Because we did not. And that was with Banks, and a lot more defensive talent. Now I know NDSU "only" scored 38, but we couldn't stop them at all. They just play a different style of offense, but they easy could've hung 60 on us. We were just outmatched. Obviously that's simplifying things, but we didn't perform any worse against OSU than we did against NDSU.
Side note - the Griz seem to peak early the past couple years, hope that trend continues too.
A few more sustained drives that maybe result in points but just less clock for NDSU to run all over us

7-3 after 3? I gotta say, I did not think they would hang with USC.

USC must have a slightly better defense than the Cats.

They’re a lot better than your typical OSU team.
