UNLV selling out to stop Harvey & thoughts on the game

Oh man, 2 yards away from Chambers getting his kickoff return for a touchdown! So close man, keep it coming.

just watched diluigi stop on a dime twice and pick up the first down!!
does UNLV throw in the towel and call the rest of the game off after this next score?

[49erCoug]

I realize it is only UNLV, but I feel like the offense really opened up today.. Turned the page in the playbook and added a few wrinkles..

Alright up to the D to keep the rebels from scoring anymore

Victory formation!!!! Nice game Cougars!!!!

It looks to me like UNLV is selling out to stop Harvey. Having linebackers follow him no matter the play. I think this could clear up the middle of the field for the TEs to have a big day. The question is, does BYU try to take advantage of this?

It looked to me like UNLV's defense sucks so bad that even with this focus they could not stop Harvey.

I enjoyed tonight's game... I questioned before (as some of you may have seen on cougarblue) whether or no Unga had the breakaway speed to "take it the distance," and he did that on a couple different plays tonight.

I thought of that when he broke his 33 yard TD run. And then again when he went for over 50.

Here I thought (a) UNR got a lot of rushing because UNLV couldn't handle the pistol, and (b) BYU would have less success because they are more traditional and UNLV would make stopping the run a point of emphasis.

Boy, was I wrong. UNLV's secondary was never in position to stop the run at the third level, and UNLV's linebackers were constantly over-pursuing on the run, leaving cutbacks open all night long. Sanpete High School would have rushed for 150 on that defense.

Sanford is toast. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy if you ask me.

I never knew Harvey could be that fast. I know he's still not a burner, but anytime your running back can slow down his stride for an easy touchdown twice a game is impressive.

That interception by Jordan Pendelton has to be one of the most beautiful interceptions, athletic plays I've ever seen!

That grab by Pendleton was AWSOME. Too bad the Sam Boyd Stadium announcer never gave him credit...he credited Denney with the interception on the play....and man, that was a STUPID throw by their QB...if your gonna throw it away, throw it WAY away.
