How do we miss 47 tackles on the night and still win?
My question as well.
I dont understand how Oregon didn't score 50+ against that defense. For long stretches the back 7 was ready to quit rather than hit someone.
If I'm Oregon I'm questioning why they wanted to emphasize the run so badly in the first half
Probably because, even accounting for scrambles, a goal line fumble on a FS play, and runs that were stopped by the end zone, Oregon rushed for 148 at nearly 7 per in the first half. Part of the reason the pass defense was so hapless (besides the usual) was that the Huskies were getting so carved up by the run and looking into the backfield.
Not sure about that. 1st and goal and gaol from the 5 needing to run clock and you pass??? Even worse, 60 seconds to go Ducks have 2 TOs left, already in FG range and you pass the ball??? Terrible play calls. One might say he got lucky.

The pass call was fine, after completing it and having 2nd and 1, going no huddle with another pass was Rick 12 men on the field terrible. And then stuffed on 3rd and 1. You either burn both of Oregon’s timeouts or you get a first down and then can really control the end. WTF. He fucked that up royally.
But the problem with the throw is it risks another pick but worse the incomplete stops the clock and saves whoregon a TO. WTF??? Run the fucking ball there all day every fucking day.
I was questioning the call earlier too, but I might buy your argument. Calling a pass probably grades out as a higher percentage play for UW there. Was it higher enough to risk not burning that timeout though?
I think the way the game ended is pretty good evidence for your side.
It's the new way of coaching I guess. Nobody expects you to throw there so maybe catch them off guard and win the game? Not me, you're in FG range 2nd and 1. Run the ball get the first down, force them to call the TO and run 2 or 3 more times and line up for the game winning FG. Foing that allowed them back in the game.
BINGO
Coaches have all become convinced that they have "Patrick Mahomes and/or Genesis of Read Zone" where because they are so better athletically/schematically down and distance mean zip and they can go for it anytime and are going to make it.
Lanning coached like he was the underdawg playing on the road and had to gimmick his way to a win, instead of just taking the 5-6-7 yards on the ground whenever they want and win a 48-34 game.

Jesus Christ, dude. The Ducks have won 23 in a row at home and 16/18 against us, when the Huskies always fall over their own dicks and give up, and you want to argue about play calls?????
Quit living in the past! Over the last 6 games, UW is 3-3 against Oregon.
Yeah with the caveat that he needs to hire a legit big time DC and let him have autonomy of the defensive side including the position coaches (idc stfu). Sup Coach K how are you?

This rivals @WoolleyDoog's uncle who when UW beat #9 Nebraska in Lincoln in 1991 was complaining afterward that Beno Bryant didn't get enough carries

not sure i want bend but don't brake defense that K runs. Folks figured it out that you can just run at it unless there is generational DT (Vita) is the center piece.

Plus it would be nice to have someone that can recruit to fix all the holes in talent from when K was still here.

K defense would be a horrible match for the offense. The offense needs the ball as many times as possible (no kidding) to take advantage of its efficiency, not to sit on the sideline watching the defense give up 7 minute bend but don't break drives all game.
Or DeBoer can leave for a program offering a bigger check, a much higher ceiling for staff salaries and a modern, non-pious approach to NIL (in addition to the softball scholarship for his daughter)
Not sure why folks think Cohen/UW is any position to tell DeBoer wtf he needs to do

Or how about the infamous The Pick? How the hell do you not run the ball there?

On the other hand we are lucky the cornhuskers let us have their coach in waiting at all.

But my layman's advice to JFC,
1) More coffee cups. To corches, trainers, jock-strap washers and reeecruits. #MyPenix deserves more than t-shirt money.
2) Significantly increase KDB's buy-out should he decide to leave
3) Right-of-first-refusal to match any other offer KDB might receive.
4) Lose the leopard print.
