At the risk of stating the obvious...

We may be the most poorly coached team in the country. This game has been a cluster f. from the opening kickoff. I just don't know how a team could look any worse. And tonight's abomination is against a two bit team like Washington State. In short, the first half was an embarrassment to the University.

Everyone agrees that Kittley's offense is boring and predictable. Early tonight the special teams sucked. Now the defense is missing tackles.

But worse than all of that is McGuire's foolish obsession to go on fourth downs. High school coaches are smarter than that. With those two decisions we gave up about 100 yards in field position.

There are plenty of quality coaches out there. It sure doesn't look like we hired one this time. The question is how long is this going to be allowed to continue?

Meanwhile, Shough…

…was 21 of 33 for 349 yards, two TDs, no picks and a QB rating of 172.5. Granted, it was Jacksonville State, which defensively is not that much different than Wazzu, which replaced EIGHT starters.

Shows what happens when you get in a real offense under Jeff Brohm. Shough would continue to struggle here under the mushroom cloud Kittley created.
