So, I can partially agree with this theory.

Part of it is that we didn’t have Love, part of it was that Oregon State had a great gameplan for a Loveless Stanford and played well (for them). (As I have mentioned in the Chryst thread)

But I just wanted to clarify by what is meant by “sandbagging.” Sandbagging typically means you aren’t trying your best, and I don’t think the team would ever throw a game or a point margin. Ever.

So I word it as “looking ahead,” and by that I mean, spend time before the OSU game preparing for the Washington games. And I said, looking ahead is  a horrible thing to do, if you lose. So having squeaked by the Beavers, I’m hoping to see some good new extra preparation in the coming weeks.

As to the question, why didn’t we use it when losing in the fourth quarter. Well, if we started installing new plays to exploit Wazoo’s under-sized d line that stems (pre snap shifts with frequent gap blitzing), that can’t necessarily help you late against Oregon State.

So as to whether we’ve spent extra time preparing for the Washingtons, we will see.
