What is everyone afraid of?

DoogieMcDoogerson

Lost to WSU
Won a shootout with Cal
Lost to Arizona
Close game recently against Colorado

Autist for head coach.

Good running back. QB play has been good. They just don't have the bullets.

Another close win...but we win by maybe 10-14.

Extra salty, greased up, apocalyptic furry Beave.

*We really shouldn't be. There's this sickly feeling brought on by underwhelming victories that has shaken confidence. It kind of feels like a stumble is inevitable.

Truth is that losing at OSU would be a stumble. They have no business beating UW imo.

15-1 at home

Beav is top 10. It will be a good litmus test to determine if our dawgs are for real

I mean, I agree, UW should win, but Beav is a solid team that can win. Let’s not pretend they are some kind of dreck.

If we don’t think our dawgs are for real at this point, they’re not.

I like our dawgs in an atmospheric river cyclone bomb.

I’ll be shocked if UW wins by 14 since they’ve been unable to build a 2 possession lead and stick with it for months.

They don't scare me.

We do. It's just not a complete team. You can have a weakness, but not for half the positions.

I’ve had it, it’s fine I think the guy you’re thinking of got really unlucky with a parasite

UW is clearly much better than beav. But they do have an elite OL and run game which is the formula for pulling an upset against a superior team with a high-scoring offense.

Run the ball, run the clock, limit the total # of possessions and 1-2 key plays (turnovers or penalties) can decide the entire game. Same game theory you see in March madness where mid majors slow it down and try to keep games in the 50s.

The more possessions there are, talent tends to win out more often than not.

UW’s defense still ripe for being manhandled.

Beavs have an "Elite OL".

Elite OL -vs- Utah:

QB Sacked 3x

Does not pass look test of Elite OL. They do have a balanced attack and seem productive running and throwing the ball. Elite OL. No.

I thought this was gonna be a thread where we all share our deepest fears. Heights, clowns, snakes, the Dutch, etc.

Script is a sloppy slobberknocker 4pt loss

A 1-game sample?

OSU corners are awful

Like Elijah Jackson bad

whlinder

Reser Stadium has hosted 1 top 10 matchup in its history.

#8 OSU 23, #5 Oregon 13
Aka the game that sent our 2000 Dwags of War to the Rose Bowl.

The following year, our 8th ranked defending Rose Bowl champs rolled in to Reser 7-1 having just beaten top 10 Stanford, and with a path to the BCS due to games remaining against top 10 Cuog and #1 the U.

An underachieving Beav whooped us 49-24 and that was that.

I’m petrified they’ll be all greased up and pull off something like in 2001.
