Nice pod. It's been a while.
As noted during the pods, it seems our running game sometimes has difficulty up front and this is backed up by the data.
I've pulled up some analytics in anticipation of the ASU game (With UW and ASU as their respective colors). The offensive scores are scaled relative to other FBS teams, where 1 is above all teams, 0 is below all other teams.
Clearly UW is top in several relevant offensive categories, but their "power success" (definition below) is quite low, which was quite frustrating to watch. The passing game can mask what might otherwise be deficiencies on offense - getting McMillan back will help this offense immensely.
"Power Success measures the percentage of running plays on 3rd or 4th down from 2 yards or less in which an offense either converted into a 1st down or scored a TD. 1st and 2nd down and goal plays within the 2 yard line are also included."
If we take a look at the defenses, in particular success rate of offenses against ASU in short yardage situations, we can see that they are worse than UW ("Power Success", far right, lower scores are better). We can also see from a high level that both defenses are more of a bend-but-don't-break style, routinely giving up yardage (high offense success rate) but with limited big plays (low explosiveness)
Hopefully this game will provide a good opportunity for UW to improve short yardage running attack.

Good work Stalin. I’ll vote for you in the next podcast of the year election, and so will my dead grandma.

Good pod. If I didn't know better, it sounded like UW lost.

Loved @WoolleyDoog 's takes on 5'6" Jack Ducks in custom jerseys.
Little Piss 1.0 was yelling those guys a few rows in front of us. He's 5'3" at age 9 and didn't seem afraid to take shit. -
Same as little D. He’s 9 and about the same height and I told him most of these fat losers he was better at football already than they ever were. They’re just here for the jerseys.YellowSnow said:Loved @WoolleyDoog 's takes on 5'6" Jack Ducks in custom jerseys.

Don’t forget the receiver gloves they got from some third string wide receiver who only gave them his after practice because he assumed they were cancer kids.JoeEDangerously said:

I'm glad the phantom whistles were a thing, I thought I was going crazy thinking "penalty AGAIN?"
