Week 11: Eastern Washington @ Davis The game was still winnable in the third quarter due to early good defense, early EWU miscues (pathetic kicking), and a kickoff return for a TD in third quarter. Only 1 offensive touchdown is not going to cut it against EWU or Sac. I am not blaming just the QB, but when things are not happening you have to change it up, and “boding well” is not going to cut it at the end of the season - you need to win or your out. The only thing that was a bit consistent was jet sweeps.
I do not have inside information about HR and Hawkins interviews seem to be cryptic on the status of HR even using the word “injured” at this weeks press conference - but tense was a bit weird. I don’t think that is the case as he has been cleared and is on the sidelines. So I think that is almost some sort of a cover but I have no idea. I do know that when TT came in (and somewhat similar to the Idaho game) he breathed some life into the offense when swapping out for MH. I am not saying TT should be the guy at QB, but rather I think it is indicative of the benefit of scrambling ability when maybe other things aren’t working. Barriere of course is a master of that plus he is an accurate and strong passer. If Hawk thinks Miles is the guy-fine with me but at end of year with playoffs, he needs to be on a very accelerated schedule or otherwise I think you need to be open to alternatives for the balance of this year.
