There can be only one...my post will soon feed off the life energy of this post.
October 23rd, 2021 at 7:33 PM ^
Indeed. You must be quick with everything you do in your life... ?
October 23rd, 2021 at 7:43 PM ^
Do any coaches not clap? I didn't really understand why that was Hoke's "thing" in the eyes of the fans.
October 23rd, 2021 at 7:46 PM ^
The problem was more that he didn't seem to do much else
October 23rd, 2021 at 7:55 PM ^
He didn't even wear a headset, so he wasn't involved in in-game strategy. He was a glorified cheerleader out there.
October 23rd, 2021 at 7:46 PM ^
Looks like Alabama has a bit of a discipline problem...
October 23rd, 2021 at 7:47 PM ^
Go Volunteers?
October 23rd, 2021 at 7:54 PM ^
well fuck it appears the death star is quite operational.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:13 PM ^
Kyle Hamilton just had a bad looking injury. Never like to see that...nevertheless Go Trojans
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:17 PM ^
That throw by Stroud was incredible. Threaded that perfectly in the rain too.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:23 PM ^
Welp... OSU isn't going to get any opposition tonight w/ IU's QB issues.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:23 PM ^
Hoke's team looks very competent in all game phases vs a pretty good AF squad. I like Brady and really scratch my head at his well coached team vs the declining performance we saw at M.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:33 PM ^
When he doesn't have Dave Brandon breathing down his neck, he's actually a good coach.
October 23rd, 2021 at 10:39 PM ^
When he doesn't have Al Borges running his offense...
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:03 PM ^
Borgess was Hoke's OC at SDSU before Brandon hired them...
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:35 PM ^
If your predecessor (RR), didn't recruit a QB in his last class and you didn't recruit a solid QB in your first class then you don't have a QB in your last year at the helm. What Hoke had at the end for QB was a wide receiver that couldn't read defenses leading a very, very limited offense. The rest of his mistakes were forgivable.
Edit: SDSU is doing well based on AF turnovers. Will the turnovers stop?
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:38 PM ^
Good points
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:11 PM ^
You're wrong. In the offense that Devin Gardner was recruited for, he would have been almost as devastating a QB as Denard Robinson was in that offense. Don't blame Gardner for Hoke's/Borgess' failures as coaches for putting him in a situation he wasn't suited for.
I absolutely HATE this trope about 'glorified WR' or 'RB' playing QB. Neither DRob nor Gardner were ever going to be any good as pro-style drop-back passers - which is what Hoke wanted them to do. But leave them in a spread - like Hoke did in 2011 - and they were damn good. (Well, at least we know Denard was, as Gardner never got the chance...)

Against Indiana sure, but this OSU offense looks unstoppable.
October 23rd, 2021 at 8:51 PM ^
SDSU is just dominating I am shocked..bet they are 17 or 18 next week.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:24 PM ^
Indiana lost to PSU, Iowa, and MSU. Maybe Indiana isn't really very good.
October 23rd, 2021 at 10:27 PM ^
This has been obvious since they got blown out in Iowa City. Notice that nobody is jacking off about how great a coach Tom Allen is this season. IU was a one-hit wonder.
October 23rd, 2021 at 10:29 PM ^
Surely that can't be true. After all, they took mighty MSU down to the wire just a week ago!
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:26 PM ^
The Hokes got boned on that call. They reviewed it and f'd it up.
October 23rd, 2021 at 9:29 PM ^
I'd ask when was the last time anyone saw a kicker hit an 80+ net punt and make a 50+ FG in the same game, but Araiza did it last week too.
October 23rd, 2021 at 10:07 PM ^
USC’s kicker is named Parker Lewis, he can’t lose.
October 23rd, 2021 at 10:45 PM ^
I'm just thrilled to not be the only one that said that to myself tonight.
October 23rd, 2021 at 10:54 PM ^
Really loved that show. Everything is being rebooted. How has this not happened for Parker Lewis yet?
October 23rd, 2021 at 10:45 PM ^
Where do I find SDSU on the magic box?
October 23rd, 2021 at 10:46 PM ^
Fresno - Nevada is coming down to the final play. Been a fun final quarter.
October 23rd, 2021 at 10:47 PM ^
2 pt conversion and 2 seconds from OT!
October 23rd, 2021 at 10:52 PM ^
Nevada WR catches the 2pt conversion but was OOB. Nevada recovers the KO but time expired. Fun finish.
October 23rd, 2021 at 11:40 PM ^
I was at the game tonight as my nephew got invited as a recruit. Got to meet Coach Calhoun before the game. Was a pretty cool experience. And Air Force should have won. They missed probably 3 wide open throws that would have went for six including a drop early in the game.

WHATCHU GONNA DO WHEN HOKEMANIA COMES DOWN ON U?????????
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
