Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Are we all in agreement?

The 2001 Rose Bowl victory was Big, but the Sugar Bowl win was B1GGER.

Sorry if someone has already brought this up

    Don James wasn’t one to fuck up clock management.

    I’m still mad.

    On the bright side DeBoer won’t do that again.
    I do get the feeling that this staff actually learns and adjusts. Grubb got better as the year went on. Defence got better. Deboer will study his chart this week.

    It wasn’t a one time thing. It’s been on display a lot this season.

    If we win this week, are the 2023 huskies the greatest Pac 8/10/12 team of all time?

    (Excluding 2023 Oregon,of course)

    The offense definitely will rival any of the USC teams

    Was it that much different than running the clock out vs oregon? Everyone was jacking off to dj getting the first down in that game. They were giving the ball back without a first down and things got cataclysmic real fast.
    To me, it was different because DJ was killing Oregon all game. He got shut down by Texas. I had zero confidence we could run for a first down in that situation.

    been thinking about it and penix in the sugar bowl was literally the best i’ve ever seen a qb throw the ball

    I've been thinking the same, between the NFL and college, I've seen Moon, Aikman, Brady, both Mannings, Vick, Warner, Wilson, Favre, Rodgers, McNabb, Leinart when he was in college, all the shitty Redskins QBs over the years, all of them in person, and watching that thing spin and hit such precise targets on Monday night, probably the best QB performance I've ever seen in person. From that list the only comparable one was ironically Vick since it was his 6 TD game (20/28, 333 and 4 TDs) and that was just some middle of the season MNF game. Not the playoffs.

    That was prime Aaron Rodgers shit on Monday.

    Penix GOATED for real.

    It hadn’t burned him until now. That is the difference. You keep banging the skanks raw dwag until you pee razors.

    Then you adjust unless you like peeing razors.

    Even Texas fans were blown away, saying after the game that they couldn't believe their eyes

    The Sugar Bowl clock fuck up was on the previous possession. Our penultimate possession. We would have ended the game taking a knee but for that.

    We also saw clock management malpractice in the Apple Cup and the Arizona game.

    We were tied instead of ahead at halftime of the Apple Cup because of it, for one example. We survived. Barely.

    Mike Leach clock management behavior. Russian Roulette.

    Clock management vs going for the kill shot. I believe there’s a way to do both but it feel like Apple Cup, Arizona game, 1st Oregon and the Sigar Bowl all had possessions were UW could’ve run some clock, pick up some yards and then get into possession for the kill shot.

    DeBoer and Grubb want what they want though.

    It was glorious.

    The missed TD to Culp seemed so perfect a through I had to believe Culp messed up his step. Penix is incredible.

    Think we have to accept the good with the bad a bit with these guys. They like to go for the jugular even when it ain't exactly prudent to do so. High risk/high reward big swinging donkey dick stuff. Certainly helps keep Ds on their heels and that effect is hard to quantify. It will bite us someday but I can't argue with the results thus far. Despite all that shit, it mostly was the DJ injury timeout and the punt catch interference that gave those cows a chance. Hard to blame coaches there (except taking knees wouldn't get a player hurt but I digress).

    The jugular in the Sugar Bowl was making Texas choose whether to use its second timeout with 2:40 remaining or let the field goal be kicked with 2 minutes left. There was no benefit to passing there. Two score advantage whether we get a TD or a field goal. What COULD be accomplished was to bleed clock or force the second timeout.

    Coaching malpractice.
