    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'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.
    Yeah I agree, they're not as good as 2018

    They suck.

    They’re catastrophic in numbers. It’s amazing they’re winning really.

    well said, Urinals.

    nearly everything you mentioned should be something that coaches can correct or at least minimize (bored, pressure, one dimensional offense, etc.). We are about to find out if both this team and this coaching staff is merely above average or truly great, IMO.

    The other problem UW has, is that they are so damn one dimensional. They are so good at that, that you can’t stop it, but you sure can at least limit it. And with the holes they have on defense, if you just limit the damage, you can beat them.
    100%. b/c our tackling, ability to stop run, create turnovers is so poor, teams are 3rd and short all game which allows them to convert at a higher rate and burn clock keeping Penix and Company off field.

    By doing that, it forces Penix and the wr's to feel extra pressure to score even more than normal as their possessions are being limited. Add in limited consistent run game, and D that is average AT best against run and pass (and that is being generous imo) and if this offense can't get to 40 and/or get up by two scores it will be game on against teams in the Pac

    It's looked like this since Q2 Arizona.

    Interesting choice of words.

    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.

    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?!

    they won 10-3. You can't compare the Huskies Defense in 2018 to this year.

    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.
