Spot foul...a new one for me.

WR holding is not nearly as common as holding on the offensive line.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Generous spot.

Yes it was. Also on 3rd and 4 with about 9:50 left the top WR for WSU flinched right in front of the ref with no call. Myrick was going crazy.

[GopherBulldog]

Bend but don't break!

 

[Go4]

3 is better than 7

No sound at B Dubs. Is that why it was spot and not 10 yards from the spot?

well, only 3. Offense, we need a long drive so that the defense can regroup and get some rest.

 

[Gopher07]

Glad to hold them to 3.

Can't be giving up too many 17 play drives the rest of this game.

Time to get some first downs on offense, give our D a rest and regroup.

Yes. I believe it was a hold on Durr.

 

[GopherBulldog]

The ball was right there! Should have been a TD. Great job to strip it from the receiver.

 

[koalasibala]

That FG is a win for the defense.

 

[Spoofin]

Great block by RS1 on that pass.

Mitch needed to take off there. He would have easily gotten the first down.

I'm not so sure...perhaps you're right as to the odds though.

 

[theTurning]

Woz was wide open throw the damn ball.

Way too indecisive. He could have thrown it right away too. Only needed 2 yards.

 

[koalasibala]

So far, Wazzu's secondary looks beatable - we just have to connect on the routes.

 

[FanSinceTheFifties]

Second and two and no first down. We want to control the ball and keep them off the field so we run a bomb then a QB roll out. Can't we, with our running attack gain two feet three times in a row and get the first down?

 

[FanSinceTheFifties]

"...the second offensive possession of the game..." What other kind of possession is there?

 

[WHB Brewer]

Not a fan of 6 pass play calls so far and only 2 runs

No kidding. That's awful playcalling. Gotta keep the ball and the clock moving. Obvious our D will give up a ton of yards.

 

[Gopher07]

Hey hey a punt! Good job D. Let's get the ground game going.

 

[koalasibala]

BIG defensive stop. Gotta capitalize here.

 

[Class_of_99]

The players that were successful at QB always talk about how the game 'slows down' for them as they mature. For Mitch, I just never seem to see him getting more comfortable and that leads to panic like plays such as his poor decisions that lead to INT's or overthrows because he has time to decide on the target but not how to throw the ball (touch vs. bullet, etc.). For some reason it looks like his entire problem has been speed to reading the D and decision making. Those should be coachable after 4 years.
