I do know that, but it didn't fit my narrative, so I took the picture out of context. Just wait until you see what I can do next week by taking Stanford out of context.
Thanks for the write-up Christopher. I also watched part of the OSU Washington game. Our best hope is that the Bears can stop the OSU run game and not give up too many oassing plays. The problem with our bend but don't break philosophy is that while we have stopped the deep ball completions the dink and dunk approach has resulted in a lot of YAC for opposing receivers and TEs. If it is low scoring then it could be a rockfight. We used to win those games (cardiac Cal) but now it seems like we always end up on the short end of the stick. We need to reverse the trend of losing the close games, but it is apparent to me that we don't exactly know how to win those games anymore.
Watching the OSU-UW game last weekend, I was very impressed with the OSU DBs individually (they were often draped over their WRs in man coverage) but I wasn't that impressed with them as a team. They gave up a surprising number of yards on busted coverages where it looked like the DBs weren't on the same page. I'd like to have some confidence that Musgrave can draw up some routes to exploit that but, well, it's Musgrave...
That was the single worst coverage bust the OSU D in a year, since former DC Tibesar was disposed of.
After hearing from Coach Smith, it wasn't so much Wright; it was a bust underneath and a miscommunication w/safety support, which left Wright alone with 2 receivers to cover. But it was still a TD allowing breakdown.
Actually, Benny was giving Butch chest compressions to resuscitate him. And it worked!

Oski doesn't stand a chance, though.

In the UW game, I noticed it was Rejzohn Wright busting on those coverages (e.g. the TD).
