    Why do we line up all our gunners on the punt team to the right, when Wishnowski rolls to the right? It makes it so he is rolling right into 5 or 6 defenders.

    Double post. Hands of stone, like most of the receivers in this game.

    Hey, aren't flights from DC to Dallas cheap? How come you are not at the game?

    When I checked just after the bowl game announcement, flights were about $800 round trip.

    So that's why we don't throw to the TE.

    Sold on them meaning what? Huntley isn't going to win the Heisman, but he looks at least as good as anyone else we've used in the pac12. Same for Taylor.

    I guess I was hoping they would be an upgrade.

    At least Tuttle is coming in. Let's see if our receiving corp will be any good. If o-line can block. If TE can catch. If schemes are any good. If center can snap.

    Fair enough. They may turn out to be upgrades. For now, at least they aren't downgrades. Next season is a big one for us.

    Did WVU watch Utah game film? Why did they initially only rush 3 on big downs? They caught on quickly and started blitzing instead.

    Moss was great, as usual for the 2nd half of this season.

    I'm all for the RPO; it can be devastating when done well. But I wouldn't mind some called runs mixed in while we try to get there. There are just too many instances where we aren't in sync.

    WVU was pretty bad, but I'll happily take a dominating bowl win against a P5 team.

    Me either. Huntley isn't accurate enough downfield, at least not compared to PAC QBs.

    Taylor doesn't seem to have an identity. I think it's a no-brainer to be a run first offense but that seems to change from game to game. Give Moss the ball then let the throw game open up.
