Helfrich and Frost REALLY shit the bed, they went super conservative up 10 with half a quarter left against a team that can score quick... so STUPID

I know, that drives me crazy. The only time you should do that is when you're trying to kill a game when you're up like 30.

There were some encouraging signs from individual players tonight, at least. Mondeaux looks pretty damn good. Prevot continues to improve and made a few nice plays tonight. Johnny Mundt is actually doing a much better job of blocking. I know that was a problem with him and kept him off the field in the past. Charles Nelson was an animal, and in just his 1st appearance (yes?) as a cornerback looked better than the rest of our CB's combined. Overall, our pass-rush is looking better and better.

Some discouraging signs other than the obvious QB issue: Ihenacho, Robinson and Springs looked terrible again. These were some pretty highly rated recruits if I remember correctly. I know the schemes Pellum runs don't help, but when it came down to man coverage they looked awful - almost disinterested, even. Nelson will be a significant improvement going forward, but what's up with Stewart and Amadi, are they injured or benched? They should be given a shot. Ihenacho and Robinson have a lot to work on and should take their places on the bench anyways....

I normally like being abused by cougars, but that was ridiculous.

I guess things could be worse.

I'd even put Mahalak out there at this point even though he supposedly sucks.

some facts to ponder. Morgan was the 11th ranked QB in his class by rivals. Only one QB ahead of him in those rankings has started a game. Most of the great Duck QBs of the past never started a game until their Junior year.

Were you aware that he missed most of last year to a shoulder injury?

I'm sure I was at the time but have since forgotten.
