WAisMoney. You are correct. But Howell seemed to correct so much. A few of those throws to Bademosi would have had Howell coming in a knocking the ball free. I am thinking of the USC game type hits.
Howell\'s absence seemed to leave the CBs on true islands, like never before. Down by 17-24 Washington State needed to pass and yet the coverage allowed fantastic gains on each pass. The last Wazzu TD was absolutely inexcusible. With Howell back there the team wins by 17-31 points because those 4th quarter plays simply do not happen, and all looks a little better.
As I write that I can recall expressing that I thought resting the injured would be a decent option since the team should win without a lot of starters. So I just hope that is exactly what happened, and therefore the Wazzu game is not really a good predictor of future results.
Trying to project from this game, I still have the same concern...
The DB group needs Howell, apparently a lot.
If that was the default game plan without Howell, then the coaches need to a different plan. No QB pressure and no Howell looks like a dangerous formula. Bademosi is likely the best talent available, so the plan will need to include him too.
