    This makes sense. UW is playing as if they have a margin of error, and Oregon is playing like every week is a playoff game. If UW is going to lose, they need to lose soon, because this sleepwalking shit can be systemic if it goes on too long.

    Utah is really bad.
    They suck.
    How many injuries do they have?
    They’re catastrophic in numbers. It’s amazing they’re winning really.
    Interesting choice of words.
    Why? They’ve lost players in every unit.

    Oregon exceeded my expectation but I honestly thought this was a 31-17 game beforehand.

    The Pig Farmer has a noodle arm, he has skill players that don’t stretch a defense, and their defense played a bunch of one-dimensional offenses that weren’t even elite at one thing save USC. I didn’t expect to whoop their asses in the trenches so badly.
    I typically hold catastrophic for natural disasters and serious shit but whatever works for you.

    Good clear-headed post the day after. All that makes sense.

    On another topic, we learned very quickly not to wear shorts to a Mariners games back in the Kingdome days.

    what does this mean?!
    Kingdome urinals. For those that remember, the urinals were constructed like huge long hog troughs. You'd get all these dudes in there squeezed together pissing out beer and... splashback happens. Ah, $3 tickets on the 300 level, and King beers for a dollar?

    They're really not. I'd give my left nut to walk into Ecclesiastes and give them a 35-6 pantsing.
    Jake Browning beat a better Utah there in 2018.

    This year's sqwad isn't even a south division winning type of team. No stars. Slow footed defense. Shit offense.
    they won 10-3. You can't compare the Huskies Defense in 2018 to this year.
    They won 21-7 **in Salt Lake City** before Utah's QB went down. And that Utah team still eliminated Oregon and made it to the P12CG.

    Disagree.

    Stanford sucks.

    Every other team in the conference can beat you if you look past them.

    Oregon exposed Utah because SC is incompetent. That said, UW is looking like shit regardless of Oregon. They need to get their shit together. Just like entry in the Big 10, we need each other to get a team in the CFP.
    I remember my 'Oregon is owning in October while UW looks shaky in October' phase.

    oh got it, the troughs... intimidating for a young gmo as well. Efficient, gross and 1980's all in one.

    They aren’t great. But they also aren’t 35-6 bad. Oregon is playing great either way. They’ve now held three different conference opponents to single digits this year.

    oh got it, yes that was the second game that was against them in Santa Clara that was 10-3.

    Hope it’s a repeat of last year.

    Yesterday’s defense was concerning. I get the offense struggling if Penix is high on opiates. That defense against Stanford was brutal.
