I’m sooo upset with Smith tonight!!! We should have won the game by 3 had we not gone for it on 4th and goal! I understand the wind but those were potential chip shots!! SMITH LOST THE GAME NOT THE PLAYERS!!
The other thing that struck me was how clear it was these 2 teams are clearly not playing on the same level at the top 3 or 4 teams in the pac. They each have playmakers for sure, but as a team, they are a notch down.
1. Why were the tight ends nowhere to be found in the game plan tonight? They would be a tremendous help to a quarterback as inexperienced as Gulbranson.
2. Why are Gould and Irish not more involved in the perimeter run game? If opposing defenses have to respect the edge, it will soften the middle for Martinez and Co.
3. Why would you consistently drop 7 on third down? The only time Penix struggled is when the Beavs brought pressure and got him out of rhythm. They were never gonna get home with 4 and Penix had all day to convert 11 of 18 third downs - that’s 61%! Unbelievable.

Yep. One try gets a pass. Two is frustrating.
So good
Thanks. Serena is a pro.
Great photos…tough loss.

In the broadcast, you could see Serena outside the endzone snapping shots of the pick6.
My first thought was to look for that shot on the blog! Found it. Fun stuff!
Three questions for Smitty:
1. Why were the tight ends nowhere to be found in the game plan tonight? They would be a tremendous help to a quarterback as inexperienced as Gulbranson.
2. Why are Gould and Irish not more involved in the perimeter run game? If opposing defenses have to respect the edge, it will soften the middle for Martinez and Co.
3. Why would you consistently drop 7 on third down? The only time Penix struggled is when the Beavs brought pressure and got him out of rhythm. They were never gonna get home with 4 and Penix had all day to convert 11 of 18 third downs - that’s 61%! Unbelievable.
I think you should attend the press conference, and ask those specific questions. They are reasonable, and deserve an answer.
Having flashbacks to UW-Cal ‘lightning’ game delay
UW is owed a call after that phantom 15 yarder 😊 thx for great photos
