Saturday's Game

Okay, I finally feel like I can comment on the frustrating game WSU played against Arizona State last Saturday. First of all, I was pleased that our team was able to stick with the Sun Devils for the whole game. We had some problems with penalties and Alex Brink was completely cold for most of the first half, but over all I think this was one of the best-played games this year by the Cougars. Second, I would like to take another look at that incomplete touchdown pass from the first half. From what I could see in the stands an on the instant replay, it looked like a good catch to me. Third, I really wish we would have tried for a field goal instead of going for it on 4th and 7. I just don't think our offense had the momentum necessary to try something like that. Finally, I don't think people should get mad at Abdollmohammadi for missing that last field goal. Some students sitting near us were calling him "the next Langley." In my estimation, though, Romeen will have to miss many more kicks before his numbers look nearly as bad as Loren's.

As an aside, I thought the marching band had an excellent show on Saturday. The moves looked good and the music sounded great, even when they were facing away from us.
