I'm waiting for the first newspaper article that hails Yonus Davis's return against Utah St. as the "spark" that will get us back into contention with teams -- because I don't believe for a second that it matters who is in the backfield. Hunsucker seems quite good, actually. It just won't make a difference. As SJSdude says, until we can open some holes (and keep Tafralis from being pressured on every down), we don't have a prayer. If we can't get our O-line doing better than this, 2005 is going to look like a wildly successful year by comparison.
: WE.......CAN"T.......BLOCK
:
: At least, that's what my answer was when
: asked to sum up SJSU's problem in three
: words. Actually, I was asked to sum it up in
: two words, but I asked for a third.
:
: While the defense made a few mistakes, and
: had some issues with not wrapping up on
: tackles, a lot of those came about once
: fatigue began to set in.
:
: Easily the most glaring issue with this team
: is the O-line's inability to run block.
: We're talking no holes whatsoever. What
: little yardage Hunsucker got, he earned on
: his own. As was said by someone else
: tonight, it's scary to see how far this team
: has dropped off from the end of last year. I
: think the general bad feelings tonight from
: Spartan fans had more to do with how we
: lost, rather than the fact we lost.
:
: So, this week, no postives to speak of. No
: silver lining. Nothing really to show for
: tonight's game. My guess is Utah State will
: be favored by 3 next week.
:
: Well, at least the tailgating was fun.
