Well John couldn't have said that they needed better play calling which is more accurate.
Found an interesting article on the game in a Utah paper.

Add --- We finally got a field goal. Kinsella kicked a 39 yarder. He's a freshman and I think will be our regular field goal kicker for the next couple years. He missed the short one - it was a very tight angle, apparently. Practice the angles! I see what Scooter means about passing. EWU ran for 300 odd yards - but they also passed for 400. Leaving aside the fact that we have apparently only average QBs, I wonder if the Pistol just doesn't lend itself to passing?

Just for the record: Kinsella made a 47 yard FG and missed a 25 yard attempt. He made all of the extra points. Seems to have better leg than Fernandez.
Call me old fashioned, but I like an old school ram it down your throat running game; and we seemed to do that yesterday.
Some notes:
- Our passing game is a dumpster fire. I only feel safe when a tight end is under center. ;-) Plinke was fun to watch in the wildcat. Keep that going since he averaged 7.9 per carry. WSU left a couple of picks on the field since we seem to make it a habit to throw into traffic.
- DJ Adams was a workhorse.
- The offensive line was really pushing WSU around yesterday.
-That fake punt in the 4th by WSU was one of the worst play calls that I've ever seen.
- FG kicking. Nail a 47 yarder, but miss from 25? What the what?
- It's frustrating how we can't seem to deliver the death blow when we have another team on the ropes. We went up 24-3 on that fumble return, then gave up the long TD pass on a blown coverage, then missed that field goal to end the half. 27-3 is a much better way to end the half than 24-10.
- I think that WSU QB will be pretty good in the future, but he's got some work to do. He seemed to deliver quite a few of his throws very low to his receivers where they probably could have had a reception.
- Not sure who is going to start under center next week, but in my opinion, we need to pick a guy and go with him. There were a couple instances where the route that was ran by the receiver and the route that Ramirez was expecting were not on the same page. Also, there was an instance where Dean was way open (and clapping so loud that I could clearly hear it) and Ramirez didn't even look his way. With Dean's size and speed, that would have gone for quite a few yards.
- On to Idaho State. Let's see if we can't get three in a row and get to .500 in conference.

Going to miss DJ Adams next year, but Tago gives promise to the future Viking backfield:

I ask myself the same question. If that is the case, is the Pistol something to get rid of?

We seem to run the ball well, so it has that going for it. I know it's probably been stated already, but are our QBs true Pistol QBs?
