Last two are straight off the HHB/1% talking points. Should have been a 5 reasons...

it's clear that writer reads our bored.

The only real "bold" prediction there is the 6-0 start. Other than that, OK...

DerekJohnson

It used to be call the annual 6 game losing streak. Sark did manage to cut it to three, so he 's got that going for him.

None of these are bold predictions. These are tentative and obvious predictions. The 6-0 start really translates to nothing more than predicting that the huskies will beat Stanford at home. This is after Stanford graduated 9 or 10 All Pac12 starters, including three offensive linemen and a 1,000 yard rusher. They also lost the heart of their defense, with Gardner, Murphy, Skov, and Reynolds gone. Washington absolutely should win that game.

The rest of the schedule before Oregon is what, Hawaii, EWU, Illinois, Georgia State and Cal? Stanford is the only decent opponent and they're at home. I expect 6-0.

Slightly Bolder Prediction: Washington wins ten games in 2014, not counting the bowl. There are 13 on the schedule, so that allows for losses to UCLA, Oregon, and ASU. And since UCLA and ASU are at home a split isn't crazy talk, but let's be conservative. There is one tough road game this year. Autzen. Other road games are Errorzona (LOL!), Colorado, Cal, WSU, Hawaii. The schedule sets up perfectly for a nice run. 10-3.

We've all bitched for the last decade that the team had talent and coaching was the problem. I believe this strongly and think it will be plain as day after 2014.

That is the worst formatted site I've seen since the last Scout redux.

Damn you Derek for steering Me to that train wreck.

With your guys' schedule you should win 9 games. That is if your QB doesn't crap the crib.

Agree with everything @DeLarry‌ wrote except I wouldn't throw in ASU as a tough game. They lost too much of their defense and their offense sucked the last two games when Grice went down. I personally hate ASU, so I'd love to see them win only 5-6. Graham is a good coach so they won't drop off that much but they aren't going to beat us.

I honestly think we could be favored in every game except Oregon. I don't think we will win all of those. We should beat Arizona but Rich Rod is a great coach and they will be tough at home. I actually fear us losing to WSU because we could have nothing to play for at that point in the season.

We would need 2 more predictions.

I wish we had more penalties just to show how overrated a stat it really is.
