1. Agree, but this coaching staff can't and won't figure it out. He should have started last night
2. I was there it didn't seem there were that many there, but it did feel like a Minnesota home game!
3. YES
4. More like the probable new Mountain West conference where you may have teams like UC Davis to compete with instead of teams like Boise St. UCLA would never get past Boise St. or even Washington St and Oregon St for that matter.
We are at the bottom of a deep hole.I remember when we were competitive and the PAC was as well. Well, mostly $UC. But the Rose Ball Game meant something,it was big bucks to the conference. Then the NCAA decided to trend towards the mean.
I think that if Martin started yesterday, we would have won. Martin, in his first ever start and playing against a top 10 team, played his heart out and managed the game well, with crisp looking passes. Imagine what he couldтАЩve done with a week taking first team reps.
Martin is also a better scrambler than Garbers and he canтАЩt possibly be worse at throwing out routes that Garbers missed multiple times yesterday, one of which resulted in an INT. Martin is also quicker at going to his check downs, while Garbers stared down his receivers all night.
I agree - while "good Garbers" ran the opening drive script well and hit the long pass to J.Mike to take the lead, we can't afford "bad Garbers" who misses an open receiver in the front corner of the end zone, forcing us to settle for 3, and the two killer picks (I don't really count the hail Mary).
I agree the poise Martin showed in front of 110,000 on the road vs a top 5 team bodes well... that said, I also hope Madden Iamaleava enrolls early now that CIF decided he's ineligible...
Attendance figures are juiced up by all the teeny-bopper cheer squads from the local schools and usually include paid, but no-show season ticket holders. My section was nearly empty - and has been for most of the season. I shudder to think what it will look like when Iowa comes to town if we lose our next two road games.
Takeaways:
1. Justyn Martin should get the start at Rutgers on Saturday.
2. I was blown away that we had something like 43K in attendance. Probably 10K were Golden Gophers.
3. Nice that the start was earlier.
4. The bruins belong back in the PAC 12.
