Game Thread: Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma State vs. Stanford

[RTR91]

Good defenses are becoming harder and harder to find. With teams focusing so much on offense and scoring a ton of points with these flashy spread offenses I think defensive fundamentals have suffered........A LOT.

I agree. That is why if I'm a team such as Okie State or an Oklahoma where I have a great offense, I go spend gobs of money on a DC like Kirby Smart to be able to have a defense to stop these offenses and win by 40+.

Stanford looks a lot like a well-coached SEC team. I'm really enjoying watching them play football.

The offense and play calling has a SEC flavor to it....good stuff.

Yeah, but without the speed on defense (or receiver)...

Just think what Trent would be doing against OSU's defense if Stanford can run like this on them.

 

[Rama Jama]

Agree Stanford looks very well coached. They don't look like they have elite athletes though. They look more like a Big 10 team to me.

 

[RTR91]

Nothing like scoring a TD and then allowing a huge return.

 

[crimsonaudio]

How do you play zone on the goal line and not even be close to the receiver?

Like osu!

 

[Mamacalled]

I like their offense, but I don't want us to run it. The complaints of a lack of a "big time" QB would still be there because we couldn't recruit one. Same goes for WRs.

Hope you are being sarcastic. We have recruited very well on the QB and WR front.

Agreed - this offense would be perfect for us, imo.

 

[RJ YellowHammer]

Oh he dorked the catch.

Look how often they pass. When they do, it's to the TE 8 times out of 10. Over 2/3 of Luck's TDs are to TE's.

People talk about us not being able to recruit top QBs or WRs now. We'd have an even bigger problem with that offense. With our current players, we would be fine. Three years down the road would be the problem when we try to find another big QB and WR.

Why? Did you bet the over?

Rather have a 7 minute scoring drive.

 

[RTR91]

Ruh-roh!

 

[Rama Jama]

Crap!

 

[ontopp]

That was costly

 

[RJ YellowHammer]

Cuss words! Cuss word! More Cuss words...

Because they keep answering with a score. I would like some padding.
