Sad to rush 4 all game. Simply no pressure and gave WSU all the time needed. Cover 2 and the middle open all day. I guess we just couldn't mix it up on D..no press coverage. Playing prevent D almost all game.. We really didn't make it difficult.
 
Hamilton being lost is hurting the rush against an O line which had experience...
 
I honestly thought the last set of downs in the closing minutes Kemoko would have his time to shine.....but nope.....he got a penalty.....and was pulled....
 
There was no Wash St pass rush last year either. They live on the quick release. Helps to have DBs that can make a play for ball.

66 passes for almost 500 yards with no sacks or INTs. If it wasn't for Grant's Hester impression RU isn't even in this game

Throw in Some of Leach's mystifying decisions and I agree with this.

But the sad part is without the penalties and turnovers, our offense could easily have scored enough points to overcome our Defense's ineptness.

What a shame to waste Grant's heroics, 339 all purpose yards, a school record.
 
I agree the Defensive line looked exhausted. At times we rushed 3 linemen and WSU still was able to pick apart the secondary. When you lose five starters regardless of the reason it hurts.
 
also I don't think WSU got called for holding by the linemen protecting the qb.....we almost never got to the qb, and the linemen did not have
to resort to holding at any time...
 
It was hard to tell at the game but how much did Turay play? I saw him make a few tackles.

BS. If it weren't for 3 turnovers and 2 penalties calling back touchdowns, WSU isn't in this game. Total yards close, we had the more balanced attack. We simply made mistakes, really big ones. Plus no blitzing, was head scratching .
 
Turay played a bit. Had a 15yd face mask and 5yd offside penalties and 1 sack from what I recall.
 
Everyone wanted big DL. These guys need more practice on running stunts.
 
We made Falk look like a superstar. Hell any QB worth his weight would look great having 5 sometimes 7 seconds to throw the ball. Zappaa is right when we did blitz we sped up his clock and threw off his timing. The problem is we only blitz 6 times in 66 passes. That's not taking chances that's called playing prevent defense. Our D was so vanilla you had to know WSU would find the holes eventually. Hell standing on the sidelines I could here the old time letter winners yelling you've got to bring the pressure. But for some reason our DC couldn't figure that out.
