Arizona is implicated as a swoosh school

Course not, our bball boys rock the swoosh. Jones must have known something was up.

That is too bad. Ankle surgeries are never good.

That's not good. Any announced time table?

No. Not at all. Depends on the bone. We haven't heard for sure by my guess is it was his fibula which is not a weight bearing bone. Takes about a month to heal. 5-6 weeks should be enough time if that was the injury depending on the severity.

I get it

Currently, the ship is belly up. Didn't even make it out of the harbor.

I'm sure he will be the bigger man and post a correction in short order.....

I think we're also missing Obrien's passion on d. Not only was he making the calls but he was also the guy who got the most excited after making plays.

Which is a problem. This years team has a glass jaw. They have shown no ability to hang in there and regroup.

This one was a rub route and their dbs ran into each other. Pretty cut and dry blown call.

That PI call wasn't lack of discipline. It was a straight up blown call.

And late in the game with the backup qbs

We're 1-3

For a team like ours that had struggled mightily the previous game an opening drive TD would have been huge. Instead the blocked fg continued the negative momentum from the previous game.

bull$%!# Dev was a stud as a true fr. I agree on the lines. Both are too small and not strong enough.

How? We went from a TD to a blocked FG. That's a massive change in momentum.

Different defenses too. They have more DTs on their roster and we have more LBs. That 10 lb difference doesn't sound like much for the LBs but that adding 10 lbs of muscle makes massive difference in strength. I think our DL is undersized by about 20 lbs per guy.

I outlined why it isn't here at MLB in another thread. Injuries + abnormal attrition. Same for the OL. Also, Dev Ferguson would have looked good in green as a senior.

Don't hold your breath on Bungum

I remember a couple of years ago Wade Philips talked about how one year he went way too complex with his defense. The next year with basically the same personnel he simplifies everything and they were all of a sudden flying around and dominating. You can't play fast when thinking.

Due to all of the injuries it's time to readjust expectation to a realistic level. "Other teams have injuries too" isn't valid here. Find me another team that is down to its 5th and 6th MLBs. The OL also isn't helping. Those fr aren't ready and neither is Blair. Worst of all is the digression of the DL in my opinion. I don't think it was wise for Tank to lose weight in the off season. Our NTs aren't clogging things up like they need to.

I wonder what the composition of this game would have been if they refs hadn't blown that offensive P.I. call that took away that TD. I feel like that momentum would have helped the team.
