Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Watching ESPN's college football primer, which features interviews with college coaches. Peterson was asked how he copes with losing.
"Haven't figured it out. And it's not something you get used to. Losses hurt more now than ever. It's painful. And it's not just 'big' games. They all hurt."
Can you imagine Sark's answer to that question? "Doesn't really bother me. The score isn't indicative of how good the teams are."

Sark took over a better situation than Petersen. (Sark xidnt take over a true 0-12 team). He had a junior QB in Locker, proven runne r in Polk and good line and defense. Pete took over a mess at QB and a terribly thin dline, oline and dB situation depthwise. The starters are great....but not much after that have got reps..
Petersen has a great starting 22. The remaining roster is no better than UTAH's second unit. (as they haven't played down 1) Sark left Petersen a buttfucking mess not counting the starters. Pull your heads out and look.
The '09 team had some talent in places, but this year's team is way better, especially on the OL and DL. It's not even close. The depth is way better too. Their was no depth on the OL and DL in '09. There is now. Same with LB. The DB depth is young, but is also better.
First statement is probably true. I think Coach Pete's game management would have turned around a couple of those close losses and got us to 7 or 8 wins.
But you are way off base if you think the roster in 09' is deeper than now. Across the board we are better off at every single position (depth wise) and it is not even close. The 09' probably had more top end talent at certain positions, but the depth was a joke. There were a lot of guys in the program that should have been applying their craft in Ellensburg.
Now, when we win 11 games this year with talent as shitty as '09... Who ya gonna give the credit to?
