    I'm actually kind of surprised everyone is so mad about the defense. They're limiting scores. They're getting interceptions. It's really fucking hard to get modern offenses off the field in four downs. It's also hard to get sacks when every offense gets the ball out in 1 second and has a mobile QB to boot.

    I'm more concerned about the offense the past few games. I thought they'd be able to outscore everyone, especially if the defense gave them anything. When the D gave them the ball back against Oregon up 11 in the third that game should have been fucking over. Even a couple of long drives ending in field goals ends the fucking game instead of three and outs.


    While sacks aren't the be-all end-all, they do tell part of the tale.

    You say that it's hard to get sacks when every offense gets the ball out in one second with a mobile QB to boot.

    Well, Penn State and Texas A&M have 29 sacks. Tennessee has 28 sacks. Oregon has 25 sacks.

    Washington ranks 124th in the nation with 7 sacks.

    To shrug it off as saying "it's hard", is something I can't agree with in discussion.
    And, only one season after being around 20th with 37 sacks in 13 gaymes. Martin accounted for, what, 9 or so?

    Good stuff here Woolley.

    I think we? Expected sacks this year and instead we’re getting interceptions. Open field tackling and angles seem to suck still.

    This is being magnified over us? now questioning if our O can outscore everyone.

    Even more to the point, I think we got 4 of those sacks just against Michigan State

    91 and 2016 are the two times we? Had a great offense and great defense at the same time. It’s hard to do both for some reason.

    2016 was not a great offense.
