The Arizona fans I talked to were nice people. Some drove up for it. We’re complimentary of our set up and atmosphere.

Not enough milk on the training table
Let me preface this by saying Taylor Mouser is an incredible offensive coordinator.
Short yardage situations...after the Kansas State debacle (fumbled pitch to Sama near the goal line) and the drive killing 3rd and short call to Townsend tonight...
We have one of the best downhill, run through contact backs I can ever remember for us in Carson Hansen. Line him up in power formation and run him right behind Trevor Buhr. If the defense stops that on 3rd and less than a yard you tip your cap.
Can we all also acknowledge Rocco Becht is UNREAL at the QB sneak as well? The guy is allusive behind that offensive line and so damn good at darting through a gap. He has incredible drive in those legs as well. That QB sneak isnt getting stopped in a "must have it scenario."
I guess in short let's be less cute on 3rd and less than a yard. Don't want to see it cost us in a crucial game. I remember last year being 1st and inches for a TD against TTech and not getting into the endzone. Cost us that game.

More like swinging **** amirite
I'd like to add that we can stop calling timeouts at the end of the first quarter when an opponent is going to punt. It almost bit us again.
Might as well have some fun with both our kickers hurt. When I coached we never had a kicker that could make an extra point, and ran it every time. If you make it half the time, you are still even, and we made it more than not. Kids like it and it can make the defense look foolish if you do it right.
So a torn bicep or pec from a d tackle isn’t a S&C issue? Ok
When he was going ti the tent, he buckled over in pain 2-3 more times. I'd be very surprised if he's back
Mouser has the guys working the NFL Eagles' "tush push" play to perfection. Each time they did it they got 2 yards or better. Awesome.
How a guy 5'9" plays QB with any level of effectiveness in the Big 12 is kind of impressive.
Didn't work very well yesterday though.

I remember when Usain Bolt was having hamstring issues and the self-annointed S&C experts on Twitter said it was because he needed to do more Nordics.
I made basically this same post in another thread a week or two ago but:
Football is a fast, aggressive game predicated on deliberately violent physical contact. Nearly every movement executed by nearly every player on nearly every play is at maximum-effort even if it doesn't involve contact with another player also exerting maximum-effort. Do that hundreds of times a week across practices and games for months and injuries are going to happen, it's inherent to the sport and largely comes down to luck / unpredictable accidents. We have had more than our fair share of bad luck when it comes to injuries unfortunately.
Anyone who thinks the injuries from yesterday were a training issue, respectfully doesn't know much about what S&C is like in a modern major conference football program.

It's also one more thing an opponent has to scout and prep for which is a PITA for them.
I mean 99% of the short yardage plays were sneaks or runs with hansen. The one play you pointed out was 2 plays to get a yard. I don't really get your gripe
They said on the broadcast he was in a sling, so almost definitely collarbone
I thought he did really well. They have some WRs that are good at getting open and can make tough catches. We weren't going to give them anything deep. Fifita was going to have to drive down the field with the short pass and he did it a few times. Really accurate for a little guy.
