I'm assuming Jacobs is still banged up.

And who would be the third back if not him? I'm not sure though, that 4 carries in a blowout really qualifies as "in the rotation."


It was a blowout until we put him and Tua in the game. After they bumbled around in the 4th quarter it wasn't.

But some idiots want Tua to replace him moving forward.


I truly do not know a single person who thinks this.

Internet trolls? Sure. Moronic media? Yes.

I was shocked that they even let him play. Hamstrings are tricky.

Harris had two carries for 8 yards after the starters came out. Tua threw a pass behind him that would've been a big gainer. I mean, if you don't like Harris that's fine. But how are you going to blame him for Tua playing poorly?

Not from the defense we've not. When is the last time we've given up around 400 yards and 20+ pts to non P5 team? This defense just doesn't have the it factor. And the injuries sure as hell haven't helped.





Gave up 300 yards rushing and 20+ to Georgia Southern in 2012.

The last time we played CSU the game was in doubt going into the 4th quarter.

I may get proven wrong, but I'm not terribly worried yet. This was a 32 point game with 10 minutes left. Bama was playing a lot of combinations and CSU never quit trying to score. With the injuries, the guys coming in late just are not to the same level.

If people still move the ball when Evans and Jennings get back then it will be time for concern.

Everyone, I would like it known, that I put all offensive problems on the OLine. They are soft.

Harris looks slow every time he runs the ball, even with the starting offensive line. He had 4 carries for 11 yards with one being 7 yards.

He's certainly not a Top 5 overall talent like his ranking suggested.

I still like him. I'm just reiterating my statements that he was extremely overrated coming out of high school.

but but but...TRUE FRESHMEN!

That aside, are you saying that when the offense doesn't sustain drives it impacts the defense and gives the opponents more opportunity to score?

Hey, that's fine. I just thought giving an example of him "bumbling" around and letting CSU back in the game was way off.

Najee Harris isn't even one of the Top 5 running backs who are True Freshman, let alone a Top 5 overall Freshman.

I don't want to say I told you so just yet, but I'm getting real damn close.

He's not explosive and he dances too much.

One true Freshman led us to the national championship game last year. The other couldn't even muster a first down against a Mountain West team.

It wasn't just him. Having an offensive alignment with multiple true freshmen at all of the skill positions isn't going to be successful.

Their inability to move the ball put the injury depleted defense back on the field with almost zero time to rest.

My point is that is what allowed Colorado State to have success in the 4th quarter.

I'm pretty sure you were one of those that blamed the defense for losing the Clemson game, in spite of the fact that the offense's lack of ability to move the ball and sustain drives put our defense back on the field with almost zero time to rest, resulting in 99 offensive plays for Clemson, allowing their offense to have success in the 4th quarter.

Irony is ironical.

And, per usual, you'd be fricking wrong.

I have never said the defense was to blame for us losing that game.

We lost that game because our drunk, idiotic OC forgot we had a 1,000 yard rusher sitting on the sideline.

I've said many, many times that Sarkisian is the reason we lost that game. You are more than welcome to peruse my post history to confirm it.
