      Per Whittingham and Bernard they’ve had a great week. Upbeat and positive.

        I can’t bring myself to believe anything like this from Whittingham anymore… The past season and a half have made sure of that.

      I wonder if we will see any more jet sweeps to Kuithe and triple double reverse option in first down.

        Gawd. That trick play in the TCU game broke that drive and may have been directly responsible for losing that game.

          Ludwig always did stuff like that and they weren’t even huge risk huge reward plays. They were huge risk low reward. So many drives killed by running some cute stuff randomly that wasn’t even setup properly in earlier plays.

            That’s what was really mind boggling. We would be shredding a defense and then throw in that garbage and kill a drive.

              Okay, so we all saw these mind boggling plays. Why do we say that Ludwig stepping down was “falling on the sword”. He was the one calling these drive killing plays we’ve all seen.

            The worst was the reverse/QB pass at the start of the 2nd half in the Penn State Rose Bowl. Everything went sideways after that call.

              This things make me mad years later.

                I still wake up in a cold sweat screaming at Devaughn to throw the ball away.

                  The Kuithe direct snap with Rising moving to the slot against ASU was all I needed to know that Ludwig lost the plot. I just don’t know how he saw going 10/11 on an obvious dumb play was going to work.

        man we ran so many reverse during the Covey days. They could all ended up as negative yards but Covey was magical in turning negative yards into chunk play. We just don’t have great players to bail us out from bad calls anymore

      I can’t remember which exact game (was a few years ago). But Utes were on a long drive (combination of passes and successful runs) and were down at about the five yard line right in front of us in section 33. They run a reverse and lose a lot of yards and I couldn’t help but cry out “A REVERSE!?!?!?”
