This made me think Hodgins might be a prime candidate for transferring after the season, especially if CGA stays on.

I can understand being hands off and letting your coordinators handle substitutions and everything, but how do you not notice a player like that not playing and at least pop the question of where’s he at. What is Andersen doing for the quarter of the game that the offense is in the field?

Unfortunately, GA had this same response for multiple questions at Wisconsin, most notably when Melvin Gordon got very little playing time in the 2nd half of the LSU game. Yep...we were up 17. Had the best running back in the country (and he was torching LSU). On one of the first few plays in half 2 Melvin took off on another long run (maybe 30-40 yards). Then he never touched the ball again. Makes sense right? You have the best running back in the country and are up a few scores, so you stop giving him the ball...right? After the game Anderson said something to the effect of...Melvin had an issue at half time that made it hard for him to come out and play. Makes no sense at all as Melvin had a long run right out of the gate. Melvin said he was fine and nothing happened at half time. We never really got an explanation on this....it was weird...

I think it is pretty obvious that GA is the type that hits players with this kind of thing if he sees in them things he doesn't like. Maybe like the kind of guy that comes down like a ton of bricks on their pet to see that they behave??

Look, there's no way he didn't know. If he didn't know, I think his initial reaction would be "Isaiah didn't play? Hmmm." There was no surprise in his voice when the question was asked. To me, his answer was a cover for something. There was some issue they wanted to handle in house....but his initial answer of "you'd have to ask Coach Phillips - he decided that in this particular game, that was what was best for the Beavers" is total bullcrap. There's no way that the guy who has been on the field for a majority of the offensive snaps for the entire first month of the season is suddenly not the right guy to put out there against the best team you've faced thus far. That's completely illogical to me.
So in conclusion...he knew. He knew Hodgins wasn't going to play. He doesn't want to tell us why. I don't know why he doesn't want to tell us why, and why a simple "the decision was made that Isaiah wasn't going to play earlier in the day, it's a team matter, I'm going to leave it at that." wouldn't suffice. Yes, that opens it up to speculation, but does it create any more speculation than saying "I have no idea, you'd have to ask Coach Phillips?"

What is Andersen doing for the quarter of the game that the offense is in the field? Speaking of what is Andersen doing... There were MULTIPLE egregious calls that didn't go the Beavers way at UW, and in fact all the games, yet where is CGA chewing on the refs ear? Heck I would have been OK with CGA getting a penalty or two, not like it will change the outcome of the game, but at least the kids see him fired up and fighting for them... However I sit on the west side... so maybe I just couldn't SEE him chewing out the ref, so please someone correct me if I am wrong!

All he has to say is, "It's and internal matter, next question" It's not like the media and fans aren't used to secrecy and closed practices and doublespeak and all that with CGA... The "I don't know ask someone else" creates MORE huh bub. Speaking of Isaiah... I didn't see him a church the next morning either and he has been there after every game even away games... so... LET THE WILD TRANSFERRING SPECULATION BEGIN!!!!!

"We'd like to have had him in there but he just couldn't go" or something to that effect was said in a few press conferences. It sort of looked that way this week with Noah.

If you do not line up to his world view, no matter how mind-numbingly stupid it might be, you are the enemy. I agree on all counts here. No matter how you slice it, it looks bad. Either he really didn't know why one of his top WRs didn't play and that puts into question his game management and attention on the the sideline... or he did know why and was too big of a coward to own it. Worse, if he did know why, he threw his assistants under the bus to push blame for the blunder off his own shoulders. There is no good answer here. none.

I wonder who made that call... did Storm say "he just couldn't go" or did the coaches decide that because he screwed up one time with their super cool secret handshake at half time? I distinctly remember that one weird game... "Woods had an issue that kept him out of the first quarter, but he was good to go later..." that is pretty suspect. Maybe when that happens once in a career you can blow it off. but multiple times in a season? and now multiple players getting the same "he had an issue..." God I hate this guy so much.

I LOVE wild speculating! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Being surrounded in a family of Christians, that is code word for: " s%#t ain't going right for me right now". And with the complete lack of any other clarifying information, we can safely assume it is completely unnecessary drama stirred up by our moronic coaching staff.

LET THE WILD TRANSFERRING SPECULATION BEGIN!!!!! Oh man....I so hope that isn't the case! Isaiah has such potential, and I could tell that he really has his head on straight. You can't lose "dual threat" kids, those who can make your team better with their behavior both on and off the field. To make it worse, his brother is a really good player and committed to join h here next fall. I won't play the speculation game. I know that you were just tossing out a thought that isn't crazy by any means, but also has no factual basis at this moment. Just the thought of that makes me ill, though!

And with the complete lack of any other clarifying information, we can safely assume it is completely unnecessary drama stirred up by our moronic coaching staff. I'll be optimistic and figure that maybe Isaiah is talking about a minor injury and/or the disappointing performance of the team. That he's just reminding himself that God can use adversity in our lives to refine us. Hopefully this is not a reflection of more of the bush-league game playing that our Mickey Mouse coaching staff is pulling. This 3 ring circus that is being cultivated right now, and the deflating effect that it is having on our program and fans is criminal!
