Before the Oregon game I said the toughest games ahead were WSU and Oregon State. Wasn’t met with much agreement. WSU now looks awful but the beavs are going to be a very challenging at Reser. This game scares me the most. WSU has potential to be a tough game even though they look absolutely terrible.
I also mentioned that Lanning is a nutjob giving Washington the advantage in the game. He continues to prove he is nuts. Coaching matters.
Mentioned that Nix wasn’t gonna sleep well Friday night. Big moments seem to be kryptonite for him. You know he didn’t sleep Saturday night!
Goforth got a lot snaps on Saturday. Didn’t see that coming.
Giles Jackson was clutch. His return was vital.
UW could potentially boat race U$C.
Lastly student section did their part…Kudos.

Awfully warm out for December, I'm aware.
Last Apple Cup. Cougs absolutely hate the Huskies. Will come in with nothing to lose attitude. Ward won’t suck the rest of the way.
I also hope USC is able to win their next 2 so they don't make any actual changes to their coaching staff.
Stanford has not won a home game yet and that includes a loss to Sacramento State. It's much more like a neutral site game. SC is not the team that we? thought they were at the beginning of the season. They are significantly worse.
It's possible, or even likely, that @OSU is our toughest remaining game. When we? are healthy, we have a pretty good talent and coaching edge vs OSU. The thing that worries me most is that we play them the week after playing a normally physical Utah team at home.
It may look resemble a gauntlet to some but it seems less so now (to me) than when the season began. Also, I have a lot of trust in DeBoer. Some of his first words after the 0regon game were "we are built for this".
This is not Peterman's UW team. It's not even CKD (ILTCHT) 2022 UW team. It is another year closer and smarter as far as learning the new schemes, etc. I like our chances if we are healthy heading into USC.
WSU just lost 44-6. At home. Their last three wins in the series are against Jimmy Lake's Sam Huard hail mary start, Sark's epic 4th quarter blunder, and Ty's swan song en route to 0-12.
"Will come in with nothing to lose attitude" - what the fuck does that even mean? Do they ascend to a higher spiritual plane and tap into a reserve of motivation that other mortal non-relegated P5 teams simply don't have access to? We'll boat race them like we always fucking do. The last good Husky team they beat was in 1982.
One of the most embarrassing facts about UW football I recall is: Dwags have never scored 35 points against USC. 30 points? 3 tims in 85 games over 100+ years. Pathetic. FFS, never?! That shit has to end. And I know we? have never had a QB like Penix, but ignoring UW history vs Trooj is fucking retarded.
Teams on second consecutive road gayme typically play poorly. UW has tons of history of stepping on their own dick at USC; its like half the udub roster is too concerned with seeing friends and family in LA. USC has equally high amounts of history of stepping up in big games - even '91 was only a 14-3 win over 3-8 USC team...and anyone thinking current UW D is better than mediocre is kidding themselves.
#thescript says UW plays like dogshit against Tree or Troy, not both. Also, if USC beats a top 5 UW, they will definitely get boat raced the following weekend in Eugene. Just avoid the subsequent loss to Beav and CCG and probably even Playoff is still within Husky reach. Start of year I'd have ranked most likely losses as USC, OSU, UO. Not quite ready to move Beavlet to top of list.
I ain't worried about a home Apple Cup to close out this Pac-12 shit-show, lol. Cuog 6-44 vs AZ in Pullman is gonna bring me joy for months.
