Not sure if this is a plus or not but every single defensive player on the field is coming back. All of the good offensive players except Patmon and Winston are back on offense as well.

If Air Force kicks a fg they are going to lose

 

[gobigred]

That’s a Touchdown

 

[podsox]

It really glad they didn’t call that targeting

 

[wazzu31]

Fuck that targeting whining. He went in with his shoulder first. It’s football Jesus. But good game, any takers on giving us $25 million for Leach?

 

[DJ]

Made it home in time to see the end of this....

 

[78Cyclones]

I wasted 22 confidence points on these losers.

 

[DJ]

Glad I took the under.....

 

[DJ]

The Cadets? Really?

Cougs got punked by a MW team running the triple option.

They don't do so well in bowl games...I think they beat ISU a few years ago...other than that game, I don't recall them winning a bowl game...it wasn't that long ago they lost to CSU

 

[RegentDenali]

Coug'd it bigtime again.

They played ISU last year in the Alamo Bowl when they had Gardner Minshew @ QB.

Getting punked? A shitty defense who has sucked against the run loses to a straight running team that controlled the ball the entire game? Without the Gordon fumble the Cougs marched at will except inside the 1 yard line.

Ya, Leach has sucked balls in bowl games except two. Falk was healthy when we beat Miami in a snow storm and Minshew was healthy. To make an excuse, Leach hasn’t had a real QB except his two wins. Falk was a joke his junior and senior year and Gordon was the third best QB on the roster this year. So it’s on him but Hilinski wasn’t ready to start against Michigan State and Colorado State was essentially the UCLA game where the team stopped playing when they were killing them.

The game has passed Leach by

Wasn't surprised by this, if you don't see the option a lot you'll usually struggle

You already admitted you didn't see 3/4 of the game. Leach went for it on 4th down 3 times and lost two of them. Both at pretty much gimme FG range.

It was a badly coached game with a team that looked like they gave up for half of it. They said on the broadcast that leach lit into his offense and threatened them with benching and a hell off season to wake them up.

Cougs always quit when times are hard. This was no exception. And against a mid major at that.
