You think the CSU defense would play better if they were given real signals and not pictures of sesame Street characters

If it makes CSU fans feel better, Ferrar is miles better than SDSU’s QB even though we lost to SDSU

u/Titan16K Texas State Bobcats • UTRGV Vaqueros 1d ago
Our DC should not be happy, on the plays we gave up TDs we absolutely got torched. Was blown coverage every time lol
2
u/Bobcat2013 Texas State Bobcats 1d ago
People on maroon and golden have been begging for us to quit giving up the short passes. Looks like we committed to stopping that and gave up long ones instead. I wonder if they're happy now lol?

u/ReallyErick Texas State Bobcats 1d ago
yeah could have easily been 66-13, if not for special teams or that last 2nd quarter touchdown

u/NewHavenJeff UConn Huskies • Texas Longhorns 1d ago
I'm starting to think CSU might not cover the 14.5 point spread

If you are down 66-27, maybe back off the trash talk.

Is this the usual camera angle? It's giving Akron's a run for its money.

Dude the Missouri state game last night was comical as fuck. The whole game was a Dutch angle

Jeremiah Smith was my first pick in fantasy this year. Very blessed to be winning the league

I feel really bad for the DC who got fired in the middle of the game lol clearly not his fault

If it makes you feel any better he should’ve been gone before the season even started

that's why we should go for it

u/front_butt_coconut Texas State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns 1d ago
Seriously, if there’s any question about us “running the score up”, trust me, it’s not that. Our kicking game is dog shit.

u/freedadvice 1d ago
I'll say this: this kind of BTA by Tx. St. will help a nice little rivalry with Colorado State form. They'll want redemption for this embarrassment next year in the PAC.

I don’t even remember the last time the first one of our guys to the ball made the tackle. Legit was probably 5 weeks ago

I still can’t believe San Marcos got into the PAC 12

u/Bobcat2013 Texas State Bobcats 1d ago
Why's that?
1
u/Dry-Membership3867 Jacksonville State • Arkansas 1d ago
I mean, there’s not been a lot of on field success there in FBS. The biggest Success is in Baseball and some of the PAC teams don’t even have that.
San Marcos though is very beautiful

With that last run, Texas State breaks their school record for most offensive yards in a game (was 703 yards).

No yall dont understand... no lead is safe for us.... we've choked away 2 three score leads this year

u/KingJefferey Virginia Tech Hokies • Belk Bowl 1d ago
Im not an expert on Texas State but they seem to be guaranteed to score under 14 points next week.
Utah State congratulations

u/-Gnostic28 Boise State Broncos • I'm A Loser 1d ago
Texas state has had backups in right?
3
u/Titan16K Texas State Bobcats • UTRGV Vaqueros 1d ago
Backup RBs are in and looks like some rotation at WR, Brad is still in though

u/KingJefferey Virginia Tech Hokies • Belk Bowl 1d ago
QB1 is still in so nah

u/-Gnostic28 Boise State Broncos • I'm A Loser 1d ago
That’s wild. Backups need reps

u/fishheadsneak Texas State • Texas Tech 1d ago
You obviously haven't seen us play before. We could absolutely still lose.

u/-Gnostic28 Boise State Broncos • I'm A Loser 1d ago
If it was within 28-31 I could understand the worry, but this lead is too much

u/KingJefferey Virginia Tech Hokies • Belk Bowl 1d ago
Okay why the fuck even punt on 4th and 12 they have fucking 445 rushing yards its not like giving them worse field position is gonna do anything
5
u/LovieSmithsBeard Colorado State • Arkansas State 1d ago
Down this many points, why even punt? They're gonna score in under 5 plays no matter where they start

u/InternationalExam245 Boise State Broncos 1d ago
Colorado State has the biggest football operating budget in the Pac12, the highest paid coach in the league, the second highest NIL roster estimate, a nice relatively new stadium, and this is the product they put on the field... how is that even possible?

u/ThemanEnterprises 1d ago
Never underestimate a public colorado school's ability to overspend and under-deliver.

u/TidalWaveform Texas Longhorns • Texas State Bobcats 1d ago
It’s not like TS is trying to run up the score. It’s just nobody is actually tackling.
7
u/LovieSmithsBeard Colorado State • Arkansas State 1d ago
If we don't tackle, our terrible defense gets off the field faster. Flawless logic
6
u/front_butt_coconut Texas State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns 1d ago
“I’m not sure how abysmal their defense has been, but their tackling has been abysmal” I think it’s passed this dudes bedtime.

Well atleast the CSU offense is trying. Their QB could be a nasty with the right program.

It's midday Friday here in Australia, I'm at the office and I think I would actually rather just do some work rather than watch the 4th quarter

This is how you didgeridont run a defense.

They should end this game at the 3rd quarter.

CSU just needs to fire the whole defensive staff. The players can probably get better coaching from Youtube.

Colorado State has a concept of a defense

A concept is too good. It's more like a vague thought

Not gonna lie, there’s not a single play that could be called that could help this defense. It’s like they’re actively running away from the offensive players. DC may have gotten a raw deal on that lol.

we got a train that runs just a couple feet from the stadium

What is Mora's message to the offense each week? Don't worry gentlemen, if our offense scores 80 points every week we'll have a shot.

u/YailyReddit 1d ago
As a player on the CSU offense, how do you even keep trying? At this point your defense is just blatantly disrespecting you.

I just had to look up where CSU's defense ranks in the FBS, they are 137 out of 138
I probably should have looked this up prior to taking CSU +14.5

Texas State has 615 yards of offense with 407 rushing yards. Dylan Riley and Sire Gaines are going to abuse this defense.
5
u/ID_Poobaru Boise State Broncos • Gallaudet Bison 1d ago
We might bench the starters after the first quarter
3
u/InternationalExam245 Boise State Broncos 1d ago
If we're up big at halftime no starter should play the second half. Our back up runningbacks haven't looked great but I think they would run wild vs CSU D.
3
u/-Gnostic28 Boise State Broncos • I'm A Loser 1d ago
Our defense will make sure it’s a four quarter game
3
u/InternationalExam245 Boise State Broncos 1d ago
Doubtful. Our D isn't great, but CSU is awful. I think we win that game rather easily.
3
u/-Gnostic28 Boise State Broncos • I'm A Loser 1d ago
I’m holding you to it
3
u/InternationalExam245 Boise State Broncos 1d ago
Their defense won't stop our offense. All we have to do is get a few stops on defense and we win easily. Which we will. Our defense gives up big pass plays but they still manage to get stops amd get off the field. CSU cant stop anyone.

u/ID_Poobaru Boise State Broncos • Gallaudet Bison 1d ago
That CSU DC deserved to be fired mid game because what the hell is this

God I hope our team isn’t thinking about oregon state when we play texas state the week before, it’s gonna be difficult for the defense
6
u/ID_Poobaru Boise State Broncos • Gallaudet Bison 1d ago
I think CSU and TxSt are going to be ass clenchers because their defense won’t allow us to dominate possession time

u/InternationalExam245 Boise State Broncos 1d ago
Texas State has a good offense, but Colorado State is absolutely horrendous on defense. They fired their D coordinator mid game.
