This team is a fucking joke. And the refs are even worse.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Wed Dec 27, 2017 8:18 pm

maybe the D can force a turnover here. cause we certainly need something good to happen

pokinmik · Post by **pokinmik** » Wed Dec 27, 2017 8:19 pm

So obvious Mizzou wasn’t gonna kneel with almost a minute left. Should NOT have happened.

Purdue running a clinic on how to run an end of half drive.

RR should take notes.

We are a dumb team with know situational awareness. That's on the coaches.

Game is far from over. One score and we're back in it. Relax.

Tate couldn’t just go down. Instead of 28-21 maybe it’s about to be 35-14 and ball game

That replay reversal and fake kneel-down was, in a two-play swing, a microcosm of what is left of the respect Rich Rodriguez commands in this game.

indeed

Criticize tate for ball security (or lack-thereof in this case) if you want, but don't criticize him for trying to get some extra yards.

Worse than dumb. We're (hopefully) the final of several programs RR has reduced to a gimmick in order to feather his nest.

When the refs just look away from you and your vitriol after a 50/50 replay call, what's the point of you coaching another season? Nobody's listening anymore.

Umm...yeah.

Well. down 31-14 at the half. Purdue gets the ball to start the 2nd half.

Hopefully somethign clicks at half time

He’s a QB and the most important player on the field. I’d prefer he play it safe all the time but especially in that situation. Obviously it wasn’t the right thing to do.

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Wed Dec 27, 2017 8:25 pm

The games passed him by.

I guess purdues coach is a rr hater since he doesn't respect our D

pokinmik · Post by **pokinmik** » Wed Dec 27, 2017 8:26 pm

Defense needs a stop to start the half or this one is officially over. Fuck this sucks.

Eh, it's basically Tate vs the world half the time he's out there. I find it hard to blame the guy for trying to get couple extra yards, especially given his success in doing that through a large chunk of the season

I'm leaving if the D gets shredded to start the half. Team doesn't deserve my time with the shitshow tonight.

getting an int there woulda been big

Big game RR

CatMG · Post by **CatMG** » Wed Dec 27, 2017 8:49 pm

Fucking sick of watching the worst defense in the nation game after game. Making a mediocre offense look like the best offense in the country. Fire RR already.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Wed Dec 27, 2017 8:49 pm

well. held them to a FG try and they miss it. cool.

ghostwhitehorse · Post by **ghostwhitehorse** » Wed Dec 27, 2017 8:51 pm

Kinda think that was over confident of 'due...

I hate his system. I want a coach who will run a pro style offense.
I hate his system too, but for a different reason. I want a coach who recruits to protect his skill players. RR does the opposite. His system exposes them to injury.

If you're an Arizona fan and are OK getting punked like that for another season, just to see if he's got nine wins left in him, GTFO of Tucson with him. Nobody wants you back.

That's why I hate it, too. Heeke's reported comments after the ASU game make it seem like he wants RR out ASAP. I'd rather RR gone now than drag it out another season and have a shitty 2019 class. Tate is an improving thrower and I think he can excel in most systems. The air raid would not be a good fit (another reason to stay away from Kevin Sumlin) but there has to be someone better than RR.

First penalty on Purdue

Made up for by a weak ass holding call on Arizona.

TD, didn't matter thank goodness

I've always thought Tate arm is under appreciated relative to his other skills.

Ellison should not be our best WR but I really like that kid.

Nicely done on that drive and great throws from tate.

now we need the D to hold again

ghostwhitehorse · Post by **ghostwhitehorse** » Wed Dec 27, 2017 9:03 pm

Haver needs to be able to dead drop a kick when needed... .

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Wed Dec 27, 2017 9:04 pm

fuck yeah D. there we go. the INT!

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Wed Dec 27, 2017 9:04 pm

Finally INT!

Yes. Major Applewhite and Lane Kiffin have been good mentions.

The players are fighting and playing hard. They just are constantly making amateur mistakes and not being in the places they should be. That falls on lack of preparation--all coaching.

damn tate. you just decided he wasnt stopping you from getting that 1st down

Post by **UAdevil** » Wed Dec 27, 2017 9:06 pm

Nice catch...maybe

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Wed Dec 27, 2017 9:06 pm

holy shit. great pass tate and nice catch johnson. Actually, much much better catch than it was a pass.

and flag on purdue so it still counts

Tate is such a baller. Agree with CST about him as a passer. Solid touch and arm strength and most importantly he is clutch.

Flag...Flag in the backfield...flag in the endzone all have a different risk factors. Maybe I missed it, but if not, wish the announcers would ease my mind somewhat. Was it just me?

Totally.

I would love to see what a real coach with innovation for the late 2010's would do with him.
