    As James Franklin said, looked like the best two teams in the country out there last night.

    Did ASUs bye play a part?

    Some are speculating that ASU had UWs signals scouted which allowed for constantly successful blitzes. Is this plausible or just ultra dooging?

    Not only poor tackling, but play to the whistle. Many times players would let go of the runner, I assume because they think forward progress is stopped, and then they runner would pick up 5-10 more yards.

    I'm gonna come clean that this thought crossed my mind before the first half was even over. Usually when you blitz constantly and live dangerously like that, you eventually get burned, yet nearly every single downfield pass was double covered, nearly every single run call went right to a blitzer, and it never changed the whole game. When you compare the historical effectiveness of that offense against perhaps the worst team in the entire conference, it's just statistically impossible for that defense to be SO in the right place at every right time. To the point I had to wonder, "What the fuck!?"



    In the end, this seemed like the doogliest of takes, and Occam's Razor would suggest instead that the Huskies merely continued their now-three-week slide into the toilet.

    Question for the pod pods

    Was that a GOOD 1-6 ASU?
    Do you agree with going for 2 after the pick 6? We could have had a 9 PT lead with just the extra point and subsequent field goal.

    If DeBoer leaves after this season for USC, Michigan, or broadcasting because he's not having fun anymore, do we make Grubb HC or let him walk and start over again?

    Depends: Does Petersen endorse him?...
