On this weeks ‘Old Crimson, Jason “Puck” Puckett is once again joined by Paul Sorensen, Jim Moore and Jamey Vinnick from Cougfan.com
The boys get right into the loss to New Mexico, which has now kicked them out of the College Football playoff discussion. Once again the Cougars defense failed to deliver and Puck brought up the point that he would like to see a coaching change at the defensive coordinator position or at least have Jake Dickert take over play calling duties.
They question the offensive strategy under Ben Arbuckle and wonder why he went away from the running game so quickly in the second half when it was working so effectively in the first half? Should the Cougs incorporate more zone read for John Mateer moving forward? And, again the problem with the Air Raid is their lack of commitment to staying consistent with the rushing attack.
Dickert made headlines this week when he said Oregon State are not there buddies. Some in the Cougars community have taken issue with what he said. Paul and Puck didn’t see the problem with what he said, but Jim did and they discuss.
Lastly, now that the carrot of the playoffs is over, what motivates the team for the last two weeks?
