Sweetness replied to the topic correct me if I'm wrong, but if Utah wins their next two, I think a NY6 … in the forum Football 5 years ago
Yeah, if we lose the pac12 title game and Oregon isn’t included in the playoff, we’re going to the Alamo. I could be wrong on this, but I believe there’s only one at large spot in NY6 available for P5 at-large selection, which is in the cotton bowl. No way we get picked over the likes of Michigan, Penn State, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, etc.…[Read more]

Sweetness replied to the topic Does Utah go to the Rose Bowl if … in the forum Football 5 years ago
Yeah, I’m pretty sure the rose bowl just gets to pick. The USC/Colorado year was unique. USC had Sam Darnold, a top 10 ranking etc, and Colorado was 10-2. If we finish at 11-1, there’s no way we could picked over. Who else would they take? At best they could get an Arizona state team that finishes at 9-3, otherwise it’s USC or Washington at 8-4 (…[Read more]

Any thought on when Garbers will be back? We need him healthy for when they play USC.

Sweetness replied to the topic Hans Olsen talked about Bam Olaseni today in the forum Football 5 years, 1 month ago
Ideal scenario would be Bam plays and balls out this week at LT, Staff keeps him in the starting lineup, moves Paulo to RT for next week against Washington, and then brings him back for pac12 CG + Bowl game.
If we could get high level play out of both tackles, that would be a huge boost. Would be nice to see bam get some reps and get ready to go…[Read more]

Sweetness started the topic USC loss still has me shook. in the forum Football 5 years, 1 month ago
1. 16 penalties
2. Opening up the game in man coverage
3. Fumbled exchange at the goal line
4. blocked field goal
5. Blackmon taking a few inexplicable angles
6. Conference scheduling it on a Friday night
7. white-white-black uni combo.
I don’t think SC drops more than one game coming in. We’re gonna have to win out or else we’ll likely…[Read more] -
Sweetness replied to the topic I blame the schedule for our USC loss in the forum Football 5 years, 1 month ago
That may be true, but don’t put the freaking game on a Friday night. Make it your afternoon ABC/Fox game or in a prime time FS1/ESPN spot Saturday night.
This conference and TV man…literally screwing pooches all the time. Drives me crazy!

Sweetness replied to the topic I blame the schedule for our USC loss in the forum Football 5 years, 1 month ago
Maybe it makes a difference in the outcome if we play a harder OOC schedule, maybe not, but it takes an incredible amount of oversight/stupidity to schedule biggest game in the south race fora Friday night in September…so unreal that happened. So easy to foresee Utah and USC being top teams in the south.

Sweetness replied to the topic BEAT ASU in the forum Football 5 years, 1 month ago
Still cannot believe we rolled out in the white-white-blacks for our biggest game of the season at USC.

Sweetness replied to the topic Nope. Don’t like that. in the forum Football 5 years, 1 month ago
I’m probably wrong, but I’m not very worried about this game at all actually. I think the two touchdown line in Vegas is about right.
ASU’s best win by far is at Michigan State; however, as they are showing sparty is decidedly average this year. They opened with a win over a bad Kent State team, and then the following week beat FCS sacramento…[Read more]

Sweetness replied to the topic So who do we blame for the special teams decline? in the forum Football 5 years, 1 month ago
Lennon has been a bit of a disappointment for sure, but he hasn’t been terrible, and we had what seemed to be a very solid kicker on our roster in Chayden Johnston who unexpectedly retired and left us scrambling. I think this will be a temporary blip. Sounds like we got a commit from a very good high school kicker the other day.

FYI, you can’t just cut NBA players. It’s not like the NFL.

Sweetness replied to the topic Cut Exum sick of the waste on him. in the forum NBA 5 years, 1 month ago
Huh? He’s been incredibly unfortunate with injuries. Seems to have had a really good attitude through everything and in the limited time he’s been healthy the last couple years he’s played pretty solid.
He definitely hasn’t lived up to the hype of a #5 pick, but I don’t get why anybody would people hate on the kid.
He got fouled hard in an aft…[Read more]

Sweetness started the topic Are we getting a little bit overconfident in the offense? in the forum Football 5 years, 1 month ago
It’s been awesome to see the offense lighting it up the past few weeks, and great to see us actually leading or the near the top of some offensive categories in the conference, but I can’t help but acknowledge we have played some pretty terrible defenses. Our opponents’ SP+/Defensive Efficiency rankings are as follows:
BYU: 64/52

Sweetness replied to the topic Utah vs Arizona State Time Announced in the forum Football 5 years, 1 month ago
looks like Colorado/Wazzu was the game we lost out to. Oregon vs. Washington is understandable, but ESPN went with CU/WSU over a likely top 15 matchup. That’s just insane. Our fan base must just really not move the needle at all. Also, P12 network needs to cut the BS weeks where they take 3 games. So short sighted. They are killing the c…[Read more]

Yikes…34 yarder. That’s not good.

Sweetness replied to the topic Utah: Let's show everyone what undisciplined looks like. in the forum Football 5 years, 2 months ago
Next week has me super worried…sure Wazzu’s collapse was terrible and their defense fell apart, but UCLA was +5 in turnover margin and had 2 special teams touchdowns…and wazzu still almost won. I still think they’re really good, they’re going to be pissed, and they’re a terrible matchup for us.

Sweetness replied to the topic On paper, we should won this game in the forum Football 5 years, 2 months ago
I strongly disagree that they have to play a “pitch perfect” game to have chance. A pitch-perfect game and they win going away.
I’m curious which statistical models you’re referring to? At this point in the season statistical models are flawed. There simply isn’t a large enough sample size to put much meaning into analysis/projections. The…[Read more]

Sweetness replied to the topic Chaos Dream Scenario in the forum Football 5 years, 2 months ago
I don’t get it…why would you want to see this? We go undefeated, win the pac-12, and are left out of the playoff? I’d start burning things…I can’t think of a more “trolling” football season.
