That's the ultimate illustration of "Couging it."

Thinks Leach should kick fumblers off the team.

 

The thing is - Wazzu has been bad for so long, they haven't had a chance to "Coug it" for a while. It might be a sign of progress.

 

IMO every team should have a 'Fake Victory' play where the QB takes the snap, turns his back on the LOS and then hands to the right side wingback who then hauls ass around end.

75% of the time the dude gets smeared as soon as he reaches the LOS, but 20% of the time the entire defense is clustered in the middle hoping for the miracle fumbled snap by the QB and the streaking wingback gets loose for a game-clinching first down (or more).

Of course, this strategy like all strategies is fucked if your running backs fumble two plays in a row. (That is included in the missing 5% in the equation above -- the 'bizarro scenario'.)

Of course if your time/down/opponents time-outs remaining situation is such you can run the clock out without having to gain even one yard, just down it from victory formation.

 

Oh yes, we cannot have any situation which actually requires the opposing team to know the rules and to pay attention.


You would have to tell the officials, "We are going to make no motion to simulate a kneeling motion. Our QB is going to take the snap, stand there motionless for one second, then turn around and hand off the ball."


Of course, this would also work exactly ONCE for any team which tried it, because all opponents from that moment on would know, "when they line up in victory formation, pay attention because they might run a play -- if anybody moves, knock 'em down."

Why shouldn't the first team to be stupid/lazy/rule-ignorant to not figure that out ahead of time get to pay the price?

 

Zero references to the team playing. A headline and first paragraph so generic they don't even clarify the sport. Last name-only references to the coach, who is not the only Leach in the world. The expectation that anyone other than Washington State fans watch Washington State bowl games is absurd.

 

I thought this thread was going to be about chasing middle aged women

 

As did I.

 

As did I.

Damn.

 

Then I guess the first 10 people to post on this thread who knew exactly what it was about are clairvoyant and highly intelligent, since they had no problem discussing the topic whatsoever. Maybe college football does exist outside the state of Alabama, or outside the SEC, and that some people outside of the former Confederacy do watch college football.

Sorry to have wasted your time. You can be sure I will try harder to meet your exacting standards for message-board posting in the future.

 

The Bowl game just ended and the result was so improbable that i actually came to the board to see if anyone was talking about it. The OP doesn't have apologize. He wrote about a sporting event happening that afternoon.

If you can't figure out "Coug" and "Leach", that's your problem.
