Remember at the beginning of the season when we were so disciplined?

What happened to that? We’ve gotten a lot better since the beginning of the season, but we’re not as disciplined as we were early.

i think there is a level of frustration with

a) the worst performing offensive line in the NCAA

and

b) The worst performing first half qb in the in the NCAA

yeah

you’re right. we’re seeing more personal fouls, delay of games, wasted timeouts (real ones, not referee-induced ones), false starts. maybe lack of concentrationas the season wears on?

I would have been fine

with 4th and half a mile, but we needed to at least try and make the completion past the first down marker. Making the guy catch and run for the first is leaving too many variables open.

this is actually good

the fake punt didn’t hurt us cuz they would have scored on that

and we get the ball back and know what we have to do with 10 minutes left.

It would be worse if they took 7 minutes off the clock to score.

OK, lets learn this lesson

you have to roll craft out. He cannot sit in the pocket with this offensive line. It is not going to work. He is not good at it and the o line cannot protect him.

We can still be bowl eligible

There’s no reason keeping Craft in the rest of this game, but if he’s still our best QB he gives us the best chance of reaching a bowl.

It's not all on Kraft. We are so 1 dimensional that we force a weak player to carry the entire load

He’s a 3rd string player.

Our first string players are not playing better than him.

It's not all on Craft

The QB almost always gets more credit than he deserves, on both good and bad plays. But he is throwing into coverage, if that ball wasn’t tipped it would still have been interceptions.

by dokein on Oct 25, 2008 3:42 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

You are so right about that.

will it deflate Forcier to take the helm with that in mind?

I agree. We have no running game and no pass protection

Until the line gets resolved, we are going nowhere on offense.

For all you football experts out there:

does it seem to you that Craft is simply not reading his receivers well and throwing uncatchable balls to them?

by eubruin on Oct 25, 2008 3:44 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

he doesn't throw accurately ever

and he is inconsistant with his judgements on who to throw to. Drew Olsen actually didn’t throw the ball accurately to receivers, but he picked the right throws to make, and he had receivers who could catch anything he put near them. so, even if the threw high or low, he didn’t throw high or low into double coverage.

"when you've seen how big the world is, how can you make due with this?"

by silverlakebruin on Oct 25, 2008 3:46 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

and Drew Olsen had a great running game

Which Kraft doesn’t have. Defenses don’t have to defend the run against us ever, which makes Crafts job much harder

have been in this in the first place. craft threw about 5 passes that cal defenders just dropped. this EASILY could’ve been BYU all over again. so no, we were never in this or at least we shouldn’t have been.

at this point, we need to be thankful we have our defense and their staff. if i read another post or comment saying walker is overrated and our defense always uses the excuse of the offense letting them down…let’s face it – IT’s TRUE.

question for all you

i kind of want to see what forcier can do, but what good will that do us this season. Chow has convinced CRN not to bench Craft thus far, so who knows if he will bench him this season. At least by having Craft in the game hes getting reps in. But my question is, who are we going to play next year at QB? Can’t imagine Brehaut starting over Forcier or Craft, simply because he won’t have enough time to absorb the play bok.

by uclabruin34 on Oct 25, 2008 3:47 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Both have a good future but prince is the 3rd stringer not chrisman

by dude106 on Oct 28, 2008 5:19 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Brehaut is coming in early though

I still think he has an outside chance to be the top QB. He is that good.

by trainwreck84 on Oct 25, 2008 3:50 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It may be that Forcier isn't as good as Craft in the coaches' eyes

And, until we have a solid O line, no QB will look good.

So, I think the coaches will decide whether to risk Brehaut after they have decided whether there is ANY QB who can have success behind the o line.

The ball was on the 8 with 2 minutes to go and Tedford ran it the first play. I definitely bleed Blue and Gold, a darker blue and a deeper gold, but I don’t think that was running up the score. Kneeling it might have been seen as disrespectful and with Brian Price on the field that would have been unwarranted disrespect.

this one is on KD

and our lack of talent and depth in the older class. I think the guys played hard and gave it their all, but we have too many holes to play 4 quarters and beat a team with more talented players.

This will all change, but lets keep supporting our boys who continue to play hard.

I agree this one is on KD

While I agree this one is on KD (just ask yourself how many of the non-freshmen would play for any other Pac 10 school, save WSU), I must admit that after 32 excruciating quarters watching Craft, I have had it with him. If even half of the potential interceptions had been made and added to the ones he has thrown, we would be in record territory. He will NEVER lead us anywhere but the rare last minute victories over sub 500 teams. It is time to give Forcier the ball and let him learn on the job. It is obviousl that Craft is no better now than two months ago…
