With news conferences slated for this afternoon, today marks the official start of conference play. And so we begin the “Drive for Five.” Meaning: we need five more wins to ensure a bowl invitation for the first time in three years.
However, despite the apperant tenability of this milestone, the HMS Brinkhater, who moonlights as a Soothsayer of the soothiest sorts, predicts the following:
After this weekend, the Cougs will win two more games for the rest of the year.
Yes, Cougar fans, prepare yourselves for a long, miserable 5-7 losing season. In other words, let the drive for five begin.
Why such negativity from an otherwise positive (cough! cough!) guy?
Its simple: Our offense is just not very good. That much has been shown despite rumblings about how good Baylor may be. When you add the mounting injuries to the offensive line that are showing themselves now and will be worse by October 8, and well, you have the recipe for some serious struggles (especially when you factor how bad our kicking game is and how much pressure that puts on the offense)..
With that all in mind, we open it up to you, our two anonymous (okay, our ONE anonymous) reader-posters to unravel the riddle of our current offensive woes…so, here’s the question:
What statement is more true?:
a) Alex Brink is the worst QB to play at WSU over the last twenty years with 8 or more starts.
b) This current receiving corps (Hill, Bumpus, Jordan, Gipson, Dillon, and Boyd) is the most overrated group in the past 20 years of Cougar football.
If its A, what can be done about it? When does Doba and Company pull the plug on little Alex? If its B, what adjustments can you, or do you make, to make the offense more productive and effective?
Enjoy the week. Weekend predictions come Friday.
