Bucky Irving is a fucking menance and a hell of an RB, and run defense is the weakest part of the team
Washington still scored on their Best Ever SEC defense or whatever without 2 of our top 4 receivers. There was 0 doubt in my mind that when UW got the ball back with 2 minutes, Penix was winning the fucking game.
And win it he did. In 3 plays.
Winners win. Losers lose. With Jimmy Lake or Petersen as the coach UW loses these games. Petersen could only beat garbage Oregon teams and wouldve choked both these past two teams away.
Oregon and Lanning are solid and past UW teams wouldve shit the bed. It wasnt easy but DeBoer and Penix got it done.
Was it pretty? No. Giving up the 11 point lead was bad. The playcalling at times was bad. Where was Westover and Culp in the passing game? Where was Dilllon Johnson in the 2nd half?
The elation was somehow even more for me this year but that could just be because I was there. Felt like there was a lot more at stake this year while last year at the time it mostly felt like ending the new streak and keeping Oregon out of the CFP. The team seemed a lot tighter this year.
An interesting thing to me was both defenses seemed way better than last but the same amount of points were scored.
For a moment there, up 11, with the ball it certainly looked like the doog thought of winning by two scores plus was possible. Then it was immediately dashed. Insane too that it happened for the Ducks too as it seemed like they were going to pull away and win by double digits and then suddenly they were losing.
I really don't know if I can do another one of these in a championship game.
I was there. I couldn't handle the ups and downs but it was the exact game I expected. I don't trust our d enough to blow out a team with an offense like oregon.
That said, If we get McMillan and Bernard back with Jackson now healthy, I think we punt or get stopped less than we did yesterday.
I'm mad too, but glad to have escaped the depression and dejection that would have come from pissing that game away.
UW won because they have the better QB, better coach, and were playing at home. That's what I thought would happen and it did. It is what it is.
Bottom line for me is that UW could have fucking boatraced Oregon if they cash in one TD up 29-18. Hell, even a field goal would have been great.
Burn some clock and make Oregon try to score fast.
UW was controlling the game in the 3rd, that's what I'll remember too. UW is flawed but the ceiling is still really high.
Grubb took the shot to Odunze to do it. He had a half a step. Penix just overthrew. Oregon has irrational confidence though. I still think they would have roared right back and quickly cut it to a three-point game.

I don't think they would have roared back. Take some time off and start the 4th with a two TD or more lead forces Oregon to have Nix throw downfield consistently. Oregon does not want Nix doing that.
Much harder for running teams to have comeback wins.
Good luck if you can’t feel good as a Husky fan after that.
Race told me this season is what the HBs were made for. True?
Yes
There will be plenty of bad years to come
I think this is one of the rare ones. I know Penix is
I'm not telling anyone how to think. Winning is stressful and most of us are out of shape at big time football fandom
it crazy to think just two years ago we had to deal with slick Jimmy, now we got to enjoy some of the most fun husky football. We will likely yo suck next year, but who gives a fuck. Going to enjoy the shit out of this year.

I was at a party watching it. We? were lit up and had a fucking blast. Should have gone to the game.
Deboner is ice cold and Penix is as gifted a passer as I've ever seen this side of the NFL. Kid is fucking nails. His bow and arrow thing is perfect for what how he spins it.
I wanted to go and was only an hour away, in Renton. But I was corching a soccer game. In the lowest division in a soccer state, no less. You have to take that seriously. Had I booked it straight from one game to the other, I probably could have made it by halftime and paid $600 for three boys that don't care and I to sit in the nosebleeds. Didn't sound too appealing, and the game would be mostly over if I drove home, so the decision was made to distract them with a nearby arcade so I could watch some fuckin' football. The boys' parents understood.
I am sooo glad my soccer days are over. One of Ds played in college. Although she did very well and all that, by the time it was done it was like that feeling you have when after being hot and sweaty for a long time you can take off the wool sweater you've been wearing. I was like, "FINALLY!!!!! I can stop pretending to give a shit about this sport."
I do appreciate it more than I did, but I was done with it and the people who surround the game.
Nix outplayed Penix, except when he didn’t. You can’t fix the depth or athleticism on d but you can fix the fucking tackling. Maybe the boyz were a little cocky coming off the big win against BYE.

Apparently, Bucky Irving is good. I’d like to know how many broken tackles and yards after initial contact he had.

There’s plenty of time to review all the shitty parts of UW’s play. The day after beating your biggest rival is too soon.

Covid year Fresno doesnt count
I have quite a bit of experience in the field of being pissed off and I wasn't feeling any of that after the game.
You have any beaches close by?
