What happened and what I think allioti is actuallt pissed about is that WSU wasnt trying to make the game score seem more respectable and he wasn't trying to pull off a miracle win, Leah was simply trying to have his QB set the record for pass attempts in an NCAA game. Which happened but who really cares, in the long term it doesnr matter. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
I don't know why he'd be mad about attempts, though. It's one thing for WSU to pad yards or TD's (if they're up huge). Or even completions against your D. But getting the attempts record? If he had gone 8-for-89, I don't think he'd have been upset. But his D (granted, his walk-on 4th-stringers) got 38 points and 558 yards and 55 completions hung on them. I could see him being mildly embarrassed by that [as I said earlier, Alabama was in a bigger blowout and didn't give up a point--and to a similarly-talented (probably a bit worse) team. Clemson's WAAY better than WSU and only got 14 in their blowout loss]. The attempts record? Don't see it as an issue at all, and don't see the nation going "oooh...you got 89 attempts hung on you!"
So Aliotti is mad WSU was marching down the field with short throws, but he would've been accepting of them throwing it deep? Why didn't he dial up a defense to prevent that? That is the job of a defensive coordinator, to stop the opponent offense or make them take what you give them. Allioti wasn't able to do that. Its arrogant to tell your opponent in a blow out the manner in which they should accept losing. If WSU was trying to injure guys it would be one thing but they were trying to compete to the end. Aliotti has since publicly apologized so I take that as a sign he realize what a prick he sounded like and how disrespectful his complaining was in a blow out win.
One might also think it's quite pathetic to go after passing records with no intent of scoring, to make a record book for a game your team got destroyed in against another teams scout unit for a whole quarter.
