Reflections Upon the ASU/WSU Game

Dennis was lucky enough to make it all the way through the game. Way to stay strong, coach!

As I sit here reflecting upon our "victory" against Washington State on Saturday, I am still astounded as to the absurdity of it all. Amazed that we actually won a football game after turning the ball over 6 times. In shock that Brock Osweiler was ineffective, and that Danny Sullivan threw 3 interceptions.

Our team is held up by the defense, and our offense is only a theoretical at this point. It's ugly. So ugly, in fact, that I have decided that Sun Devil football has a face for radio, and even then it was pitiful.

I am glad that Dennis Erickson is still alive after being steamrolled by a college football player.
It is good to know that we can also miss two extra points and STILL win.
How bad is WSU? Seriously. Look at this stat: 32 rushing attempts, -54 rushing yards. What?! WHAT?!?!
I think it's time to start the chants for Samson at the next Sun Devil game. Honestly, what difference does it make at this point?

In the end, we got a win, and we're now 3-2 on the year. But NO ONE is pleased about this game, and no one gives a care about us playing Wazzu. Lets beat UW and then we can talk momentum and potential.

Am I wrong? Post in the comments. More to come this week at the House.

Not much else to say

I don’t see any way they win more than 6 games this year. An absolutely terrible QB/offensive line will do that to ya

SAM-SON!!

I at least want to see him play.

The only one who liked the Cardinals so much he became a St. Louis Cardinals football fan.

Horrible

And the weakness of our defense continued show why it can’t carry the jockstrap of the rest of the defense. How do you give up a 99.9 yard TD pass?

Sullivan stinks, Brock is not the answer, Samson is not the asnwer – here’s hoping that Threet is good. I’d like to think that anyone who is recruited by Michigan and starts as a freshman must be good. He was put into an offense that was all wrong for him so he transferred.

You've got it all figured out, huh?

How do you know when Brock and Samson are not the answers when they haven’t even really played?

Threet

I am a big Sun Devil fan and Michigan fan. Growing up in MI I have always loved the Wolverines and watch every game of theirs. Here is my thoughts on the situation……

Threet will be the starter for the next couple of years. I have not seen much of Brock but he honestly cant be that good if he hasn’t taken Danny’s starting spot yet. If he was as good as we all hyped him up to be then he would have been in there a couple games ago. Threet came into Michigan with a totally new offense, system, coaches, and as you all know the team was terrible. To me they only had a couple bright spots and one of them was Threet. Threet is an athletic qb that has the ability to escape and run (we all know with our offensive line we need that) and make some plays. He is not the greatest passer and hopefully he has improved on that aspect but from what I saw in watching every game that Threet, Sullivan, and OZ’s (warmups), Threet should be the starting QB next year. ASU fans will be pretty happy too.

I'm sorry

have not seen much of Brock but he honestly cant be that good if he hasn’t taken Danny’s starting spot yet. If he was as good as we all hyped him up to be then he would have been in there a couple games ago.

But that is terrible logic. It could also be because we have a stubborn old man for a coach.

So then why has so many other true freshman played??

Every other good true freshman has seen the field. DE hasn’t hesitated too much on them. I promise you that if OZ was really that much better he would have been in already. Trust me I hope I am completely wrong and OZ is the man, but it’s not like he has to beat out a really good qb to see the field.

Terrible logic, I dont think so. Being reasonable about the situation.

Every situation is different

Erickson clearly has a different opinion of Sullivan than we do. Just because Oz isn’t playing now doesn’t mean he’s not a good QB. There are lots of factors that go into it.

Unfortunately, I really do believe that Osweiler may just not be ready. If he’s not good enough to take over for Sully, we are in real trouble.

This may be splitting hairs

But, I think “not being ready” and “not being good enough” are two very very different things.

OZ that bad?

I listened to some of the game while driving around ,listened and read game re-caps, scanned some comments and this is the first time I heard people pissing on OZ’s lawn. Was he that unimpressive? The whole O is messed up. Although I did read some about Threet being the realness. But are we really waiting for another qb battle? We need play makers on O. Its that simple in my humble opinion.
