Weekly Juju extravaganza!

First off, we are 7-1...We handily dismissed USC.

We owe all of this to Juju. And as Juju's humble servant, it is my duty to provide a weekly candidate for Juju inflicted shenanigans.

 

 

Star-divide

Before I begin, I would like to ask if anybody will NOT vote for Gerhart. If you don't, you are insane. Now that I have alienated a few dozen people, time to begin (I'm licking my chops already!)

 

Toby Gerhart- A massive halfback that is huge; 6-1, 235. In case you don't know by now, he is massive and huge; and has repeatedly carried Stanford on his back. Last season, he accounted for just over 1100 yards, and accumulated a rather frightening 16 rushing touchdowns. This year, he cracked UW to the tune of 200 yards on 27 carries. Against USC (and a much better o-line than Stanford), we contained Gerharts closest comparison; Allen Bradford fairly well. Fortunately, he is a senior so we will never see him after this (Am I overlooking Stanford now?! PANIC!!!!).

I know we can contain Gerhart, however a little help never hurts.

Andrew Luck-Luck is a very good QB with even better size to follow suit; 6'4 235. Luck has not had a bad game all season; and is in my opinion a better freshman QB than Barkley is. Because of Gerhart we will be stacking the box much like we commonly did against USC. Expect a very similar defense. However, we need our CB's to win their one on one matchups, or else Luck may have a great game. Shall we curse him?

 

On a final note, We love you for what you have done thus far this season!

My vote goes for Luck.

If we contain or moreover shut down Luck and the passing game, Gerhart is their only other option and that’s when the game is under control for us. Oregon historically does much better against big backs than small backs (ditto with USC, in fact), so I think Gerhart will not be as big a factor for Stanford than Luck.

Luck

Can deal with long Stanford drives through Gerhart, since the Duck offense can score in less than two minutes on any given drive, it’s the big chunks the Ducks have to avoid.

Life is hilarious.

by SolGoode on Nov 1, 2009 12:27 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

I voted for Gerhart, because the ball will be in his hands almost as much as Luck's

But another one to consider is Owusu. He is a tremendous special teams player (our ST has looked better the last couple weeks, but he is definitely a game changer there). And a speedy WR. It is going to take an entire secondary to keep him in control.

Gerhart

Same thing as Cal and USC, stop the run and force the QB to beat you, if it’s working for us then why change strategy now?

by QuackinAK on Nov 1, 2009 12:52 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Luck

Because we always stop the run well anyway, because Gerhardt while awesome has had a little bit gimpy leg already, because the QB curse has been working.

My first run-on sentence you were trashing goes:

Becasue… because… because…

ie: Because of the wonderful things he does.

When I re-read it, I thought – no doubt it is a run on and furthermore, it sounds like that fucking Wizard of Oz song.

I don’t know the other reference you’re talking about. I know I’ve written some tomes in my day, and many a run-on sentence.

by Bill Musgrave on Nov 1, 2009 4:58 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

My bad, too, in that case.

I don’t remember that song at all — maybe that’s fortunate from your review of it. The last time I saw the Wizard of Oz I was six years old and that fucking witch on the bicycle was freaking me out.

The witch was creepy. But you can kill her with a squirt gun. The monkeys, however, can fly. That means there’s always the chance they buzz your head and get their scraggly little money paws caught in your hair. Kinda like a bat.

Anyway, for clarity, I didn't know you were referencing something. I thought you just had a silly run-on sentence.

And that reminded me of the ATQ “brevity thing” line. No ill feelings.

It's all good.

I think I’m too new to know the “brevity thing”.

And now, back to replays in my head of Masoli striding 50 yards untouched.

In some ways, it was so much more fun when DB’s tried to tackle him.

Ha, this made me laugh.

Whalen, Owusu, and Pritchard

Though all three only became “recognizable” after I looked them up.

In addition, it appears the Whitaker family of San Diego, CA produces intelligent kickers, because both #46 Eric (Fr) and #39 Nate (Jr) made the team. Nate starts and is 8/12 on field goals for the season.

Thought everyone would like to know.

by Bill Musgrave on Nov 1, 2009 6:05 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Owusu is who I was going to say.

He’s very, very dangerous on special teams. Though, not sure how much he’s dangerous elsewhere.

Owusu is VERRRRRRRRRYYY dangerous

and if Oregon reverts back to their games 1-5 special teams play, he will make us pay. On O he had a chance on the first pass against OSU to catch a huge TD.. he was like 3 yards past the DB and dropped the ball. I will contend that changed the game, because OSU was looking for the play action the rest of the game after getting TOTALLY burnt on that first play… he just didn’t make em pay

If we can shut down the QB, good things happen.

Although, I think the tree would be a good “other” choice.

But it was really a toss up. Gerhart is a beast, but I feel like Juju has delighted in shutting down QBs. Best is the obvious exception, but Prince, Tuel, Locker, Barkley…Juju loves him some QB voodoo.

Oh, sesquipedalian Juju - - -

Thank you, revered one, for heeding last week’s prayer (you remember—-something about stomping those smog-sucking southlanders), and bringing victory (in STYLE, SHIT yes!) to your faithful Webfoots.

(Even if you did send me to a 1-4 record in the Jersey Contest.)

We humbly entreat you to shine thy light upon our brave boys again this week as they take on Stanfurd, a school built on the false religion of science instead of on true faith. (C’mon, have you BEEN to Palo Alto?)

We thank thee for the light of thy countenance.

Well, Luck is no pushover,

They run almost the same offense as USC does, but slightly watered down due to lesser talent. Their recievers are worse, and their O-line is not nearly as good either.

Could be a great game; or an utter domination on our behalf.

If we stop Gerhart, and get up on the scoreboard early; we will easily jog away with it…
