I just watched the replay of the Aggies onside kick about twenty times. There was no offsides. That ref needs help. When will the NCAA require officials to have a press conference after games to answer for their horrible calls?
Also, why is Gary Andersen punting on 4th and 1 with 5 minutes left when his defense is terrible and he's playing the number 1 rushing offense in the country?

The game was shown on in some parts of the country on comcast. Exciting WAC football! You're right about the oneside kick.

ref quest

Why is it that refs think they need to be a "FACTOR" in games? Just ref the game and stop controlling the outcome!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was watching the game on a Nevada channel with Nevada announcers, and even they thought nobody was offside on the onside kick. It really a shame we didn't get to see if USU could drive down the field and win it.

Bottom line is you have to win football games. Blaming problems on the refs gets you nowhere. I for one am excited about the future of USU football, and I think Anderson is slowly but surely changing the culture.

Give him some time, and have faith in our boys!

Bad Playcalling..

Bad playcalling by the coaches lost this one.. the players have the heart to win.. the coaches let us all down!!

The offsides on the onside kick was a bad call, but only one of many during the game and those who think it cost us the game are wrong. How about stopping the run or picking up a 3rd & short? Thats what lost the game not one bad call. Anyway lets get out there for the LaTech game next week and win one. Go Aggies!

Game on CW

Thanks CW for airing Aggie games. It was great to see the Aggies on TV. However on Dish Network the signal really looked bad for the first half and improved for the second half.

Ags, let's not go to rival sites and rag on them for complaining about the refs. Refs do control the game sometimes. Let this be a lesson to you.

Like all people have been saying who aren't ag fans...it will be another terrible season, but it's still a moral victory, right?

Where's Turbin?

Why wasn't Turbin used more? He wasn't "held" to one carry, He never got the ball from Borel! (or the coaching staff calling plays) With a 24-14 lead, USU passed and passed and passed to its downfall, Borel was not effective. Why did he try and keep passing? Get it to Turbin and let him run the ball!!!

Where's Turbin

WHere was Turbin? He only had one carry in the second half? What is going on?

ROBERT TURBIN should never touch the ball less than twenty times in one game..he is a machine with serious talent! There were several play calls that were questionable but Coach Anderson put too much trust in his defense with the punt on 4th down. The onside kick was bogus but losing by 6 points in the last 2 games shows the Ags are at least competing far more than ever before as of late.

Same old same old

Time to:

- Blame the refs
- Fire the coach
- Talk about how great we are in basketball
- DREAM that someday things will get better

Oops,forgot one:

- Count our "moral" victories (about 5 this year)

ANDERSEN...

Not head coach material.. should have stayed with the U...

mike

I think John L. could have won this one!

Lee

I think Guy could have won this one!

Year after Year

Same ole record...same ole record.

Give the guy a break. The Ags are sure playing better than last year. You cannot turn around a program in one season.

Ricks

Aggies, what are you guys thinking? Do you know anything about football? Everyone else in the state can see that Gary is going to be a great coach for you. Give him a chance, and support him---the team won't turn around in a season. And definitely don't blame the refs, that just looks whiny. You should play well enough that refing isn't an issue.

The Ags will start winning ... soon. Just support your team and coach.
