Anyone planning on going to the ASU game at 7 today?
Any predictions?
I'm sure, ASU will be 5-0 after this game.
ASU: 35
Stanford: 10

Maybe, but I don't think the cameras are. Geez. It's like watching ants.
Yeah SD sucks.
I'm thinking Stanford is in for a very long night.
Can I just point out how bad Rudy Carpenter actually is...
He holds the ball way to damn long, he misses the easiest passes in the world, and hes a deuche bag....
This game should be 45-3...
ridiculous...
It is also important to point out if we are this bad at redzone offense in the coming weeks, we may not be a .500 by the end of the year...
This is by far the most maddening 27-3 game I've seen this year.. lol
go devils!
Think back to the last time we played there and how we got our asses handed to us.
Don't you feel better now?

Stomped them! Somewhere, Gaddabout is still telling anybody who will listen that Stanford is as athletically talented as ASU.

Heh ... Stanford's first team defense made our offensive line look like turnstiles. ASU tried (and failed) to recruit every player on their defensive line. Yes, they made trouble for ASU.
I mean this in the spirit of the board, but I question anyone who is questioning Ryan Carpenter's heart or attitude. He took an absolute beating out there tonight. Ryan Torain *tries* to pick up the blitz, I give him credit for that -- he's not shying away -- but he just does not know how to get an angle and get his pads square to get underneath that blitzer. Ugh. It was painful to watch.
Gad, but let's be honest Torain is out there to run the rock. Koetter always would go with the best pass blocker or the guy who ran through cones well in practice but DE wants the best overall back.
If anything Pollack needs to take some heat, he is the "captain" and he said his line wouldn't repeat its poor perfromance, and yet it did, this line is average, pollack included. They talk a great game but rarely back it up.
(Also need some TE's, stat!). A couple of us have been expecting ASU to convert Lance Evbuomwan to tackle for a year now. Hopefully they can get some tight ends so they can make that move happen ASAP. Lance looks like a potentially awesome left tackle, but not so much a pass catcher. OTOH, I wouldn't want to meet him on a crackback block on a counter play with him at H-back. That would leave a mark, as they say.
No doubt, and I wouldn't take Torain off the field if I were the coach, either. Just not understanding all of the criticism of Carpenter. I think some people -- ASU fans -- just don't like Carpenter and they prefer if he takes the blame. Don't know why, because we're not going to beat the better teams on the schedule with Danny Sullivan. Carpenter is as important to this offense as Torain.
Krula has to sit next week. Put in Julius at RT to start the game rather than waiting for problems to correct the obvious problem. This has happened two weeks in a row. We don't have to guess any more the rest of the season what teams are going to do. They're going to send numbers until ASU shows they're going to limit the number of hits -- sacks or otherwise -- Rudy's going to take in a game. Eventually every QB has a magic number of hits they take before they stop looking downfield and start looking sideways in the pocket.
Don't think Pollack is the problem. Thought he played a very good game. He can't turn guards into tackles any better than Cozzetto can. We saw this recruiting problem two years ago and it's just something Erickson will have to address in Juco recruiting in the off-season. (Also need some TE's, stat!).

Agreed about the TE situation, Brent Miller has been pretty disappointing this year and they don't have any super solid youth at that position either, they may have to go the JC route.
