Should be interesting...
-Mark Banker is Assistant Head Coach and Inside Linebackers Coach at UH.
-Our DBs will be busy, but they seem improved, but need to create turnovers against UH.
-Beavs need to learn how to contain the edge, recurring problem, why don't other teams seem to have that issue as often?
-Lots of athletes in that uo/Auburn game, big, fast, and quickness noticeable compared to Beavs.
-Soon to All-American and the next coming of Eric Manning and Dwan Edwards, J. Whittley had 0 solo tackles and 1 assist against Okie St. May need to pump the brakes on this, usually takes JC guys a few games to adjust.
-Elu Aydon looked better than last year, a bit more stamina, hopefully that continues;
-Once Okie State saw that we lined up Colletto and Flemings the same way every kickoff, and Colletto will always fair catch, it pretty much takes away any strategy on returns, not sure why we line up that way every time.
-Nothing against Flemings, but no way a 5-5 141 lb guy should be starting in the Pac-12. Can you imagine that happening at Auburn, uo, or USC...no. UH will key on Hodgins, could really use Bradford back for that game.
-I was really disappointed in the crowd on Friday. And what is with people, on two of Okie St TD's, I have people trying to get past me in our row to sit down, and this women is yelling at me to scoot down while the Okie State guy runs into end zone. It's not like there aren't enough stoppages in play to wait before you barrel down a row. Not to mention these people didn't even get to their seats until 6 mins were left in the first half.
-I'm done with 7:30 games. I had amnesia about how long these games are now, got home at 1:15am. Did they add more TV commercial breaks? My goodness. And the new clock on the field now to show how much time until the TV break ends might make it worse, you realize how long you sit there doing nothing for no reason other than for ESPN and Fox to make money off kids not getting paid.

It can only works If he has amazing Balance and turn on a dime agility which he seems to lack. he gets pushed off balance by anything unless he is running north and south clean. any contact takes him down pretty or change in direction seems to slow him down too much. With the fly sweep It seemed champ can't seem to shrug off contact and keep moving this effects basically everything we try to use him for.
For champ to be successful it might be a better Idea to see him get deep and out run everyone. this might be where he succeeds at this level.

Louisville had a player about the same size as Flemings starting last night. He had some explosive plays. |

Completely disagree on the DBs. Only Nashon Wright offered any sort of resistance to anything Oklahoma St. did on Friday night that I saw. If Isaiah Dunn played, I didn't notice him. Hicks Onu and Jaydon Grant I noticed for the wrong reasons. Our only pass break-up was a swat down by a lineman.

You mentioned you were disappointed with the crowd, and then say you're "done with 7:30 games." I'll give you your due respect for showing up despite hating the late games. Sign of a good fan to me. Of all the late games, it seems like this is the one that people should've been able to stomach the most. It was warm, it was on the front of a three day weekend, you had plenty of lead time of knowing when this kickoff was going to be, a good team that had never been to Corvallis before....these are all things that should've mitigated the late start time. I'm pretty done with any excuse for not coming to games other than "the team is not good." That's the reason. That's the only reason. Sure there are always reasons that some people can't make one individual game, but to me it seems like people are using the "games are late" excuse to not get season tickets and then also not buying tickets to the games that occur at more traditional kickoff times. |

I'm not sure Dunn played after the first series. My son kept texting about him so I rewatched the 1st quarter. The first series he was absolutely useless holding the edge against the run and did not come back out for the nest OkSt possession.

Louisville had a player about the same size as Flemings starting last night. He had some explosive plays. Trindon Holliday was a 5-5 159 lb. sophomore for National Champion LSU and followed that up with a six-year NFL career. Of course, he ran a 4.27 40 as a freshman. |

That USC Thur night game was lightening in a bottle, OSU coming off a 9-win season against the #1 team. That's a scenario that is unlikely to play out again in Reser in our lifetime (unfortunately). College football attendance is declining, including student attendance. Last year the PAC-12 had it's lowest average attendance since 1982. The conference has decided that money is more important than their fan's attending games. I don't like it, but if that's how they want to get revenue good luck to them, I think it's a race to the bottom.
First they moved late kickoffs to 7:30 instead of 7PM. Then the length of games that averaged 3 hours in 1996 became 30 minutes longer -- uo/Auburn was 3 hours 38 minutes, USC/Fresno was 3 hours 41 minutes. Combined that's an extra hour later that you get home from Corvallis. A lot of casual fans are going to be turned off by that after one trip. And Reser cannot be filled without attracting the casual fan.

DBs were awful, just awful. I watched #26 get beat time and time again, miss nearly every tackle that would have made a difference, ( I think he had a few, should have had a ton), but OKIE figured it out early and worse, get sucked inside and pinned all night long. I get he's a freshman, but lordy, at least put someone out there that will get dirty and CONTAIN the end please. Cost us numerous runs, for third down and more..... It's not that hard to teach someone that one concept is it?? |

The reality is this. Nobody cared one bit about the 08 game against SC being on a Thursday night 7pm kickoff, we were ALLL THERE and the stands were PACKED. Per Wikipedia, that 2008 USC game was the least attended game of the season at Reser. Not how I remembered it either. The last time we played a home game on a Friday prior to Labor Day was 2015 vs. Weber State in GA's first game. It was a 5pm start and drew 35,160. Prior to that, the last Friday home game we had was a 2013 November 1st game vs. USC at 6pm. It drew 45,379. We were 6-2 going into the game. |

Packed being a relative thing... packed compared to what we are seeing on television today. Back in 08 I'm pretty sure we were looking at consecutive sellouts, that one was probably considered sold out even though it was the most lightly attended. |

Certainly not devoid like now though... |

I'll never forget telling my best friend that Sammie was going to break their back on the punt return and then seeing it happen right in front of us. Still have goosebumps. |

Hawaii is 1-0 v PAC 12 this season. Imagine how motivated they must be to take that to 2-0? Will be a Very revealing matchup. If Beavs don’t win the knifes will be OUT.
