Game Thread: Wash state vs Stanford

[Texas Jefe]

I think he's actually mellowed with age.


Anyway, is entertaining.

 

[WestEndVol]

Hope it's an interesting game.

The ultimate offense vs defense showdown. Should be very interesting

 

[dennis580]

Wash state got a shot imho

Yea Wash St always has a shot with this offense.

 

[KnightAndDay]

Wonder what kind of effect the pac12 refs have on the game tonight?

 

[WestEndVol]

Couldn't ask for a better start if you're a Stanford fan.

 

[dennis580]

Wash St is making Barry Sanders look like Barry Sanders

 

[Red_Alert]

A lot of empty seats

 

[KnightAndDay]

3-0, 'Furd

 

[KnightAndDay]

10-0, Furd

 

[Wild Turkey]

Terrible spot.

 

[dennis580]

4th and a half yard on your 34, and you throw the ball? Should have QB sneak it

 

[Wild Turkey]

WSU isn't really a flashy offense. They just never stop throwing.

They really don't have many running plays and most of them are QB draws. I doubt they could snap the ball with the QB under center no one would know how.

 

[KnightAndDay]

Nice throw

Anybody can run a QB sneak, and that is a play you should always have in your arsenal when its a half yard or less

I forgot how badass the Mike Leach offense was

 

[Texas Jefe]

Leach runs basically the same offense Briles runs. They learned it from Hal Mumme.


Need to add Sumlin in here too.


Leach at TT used good running backs as integral part of the offense, as Briles now does at Baylor. Guess he just doesn't have any yet at WSU.


When TT was in their prime, they had very good Olinemen, and they used huge splits, which are now more common all over CFB. That offense used to be pretty rare at bigtime CFB schools, but now parts of it are used all over.

Fun fact: WSU's last TD is the first 1st qtr TD vs Stanford since 2005

Briles runs the same offense as Leach

I don't remember every play at Tech being a pass, they at least tried to run.
