San Diego St. Gameday Thread [Sat. Sept. 6, '08]

WOW! Here's to the same shit again. Another long year for the offense. This is San Diego state for christ sake. Cal Poly beat them. This is just sad football AGAIN!

 

[Freeman Ara]

where is the intermediate passing game? Its all go routes, just like last year.

 

[MUGSY]

Wow, this was a very disappointing quarter of football to say the least. Let's call it first game jitters for now.

Go Irish!

 

[Junkhead]

Why do we keep running left? Pound it behind Stew and Young! It's way early, but this is still a little embarrassing.

One thing to remember folks, there is HUGE pressure on these guys right now...rightly so. Let's wait until the end of the game though before we pass judgement. Yes, I'm in agreement, we look TERRIBLE on both sides of the football, but once the nerves pass, perhaps things will get better

 

[NDboy15]

Hasn't been a good first quarter, hopefully they step it up in the 2nd.

Not impressed by Tenuta's "genius" blitz schemes yet. Every play looks like the same play with a linebacker (usually B. Smith) blitzing up the gut and a cornerback (usually S. Brown) blitzing outside of the offensive tackle.

Looked like a bad snap on Walker's missed FG...but he did show me on the kick that he has a strong leg.

I wouldn't say that the defense looks terrible, just bonehead penalties from Crum really had their last drive going. I like the defense so far.

Great 3rd Down stop by Harrison Smith. He and Brian Smith look like they are all over the field. I'd like to see the same from Bruton (where was he in the 1st Quarter?) and Crume (no more dumb penalties).

 

[Freeman Ara]

Hey look, Golden Tate can run an out route now lol

 

[sportallyr]

Holy crap, I just saw a close up shot of Chris Stewart. That's one big mo-fo!!!

 

[Freeman Ara]

ok here we go...RB's look good picking up the LB's.

 

[Freeman Ara]

AA looks totally different this year..

 

[NDOM]

Right when you think they look good they show their 2007 colors. DAMMIT

 

[onenybrother]

That's a big loss there. And i dont mean the fumble.

 

[sportallyr]

Oh crap...Hughes fumbles on the 2 trying to get into the end zone. His knee was clearly down though. This should be reversed.

 

[patman1868]

looks close hopefully the overturn that. Thats tough Hughes had that secured pretty good just got it stripped. Lets hope Hughes is ok also.

 

[IrishFan4Life]

His knee was down. I hope he's ok.

 

[onenybrother]

THis a key injury to early in the season.

 

[NDgettysburg]

screw job!

knee down, one guy wrapped up on your arms and the other pops the ball out....what a bunch of crap.

 

[IrishFan4Life]

bullshit

 

[Freeman Ara]

Well, they couild atleast get the call right. His knee was so down.

 

[onenybrother]

Who would get the bulk of the carries now.

 

[Junkhead]

Bullshit. What garbage officiating.

Calm down we don't even know how bad it is.

Thats for sure Hughes looked really good that drive, he and Allen really compliment each other well out there. Maybe we will see some Aldridge now?

 

[NDOM]

How many damn times are we gonna get burned on that shuffle pass? damn

 

[NDgettysburg]

Calm down we don't even know how bad it is.

I think he'll come back out....they had his shoe off, he was up walking around, then sitting back down and they put his shoe back on. Doesn't seem like it should be too bad.

 

[patman1868]

How many damn times are we gonna get burned on that shuffle pass? damn

Idk its a tough play to stop especially when you are pass rushing, I think that play would work nice with Allen.

 

[MUGSY]

OK, now they need to put together another solid drive and put it in the endzone. Did anyone think that we would have a hard time scoring today?

Go Irish!
