We’re good except in the first quarter.

The fundamental pieces are there. This is already one of the most physical teams UW has had in the last 20 years.
-
Bellichek looks like more than a last name
The NASCAR pass rush is cool. One of the more inventive things I've seen here
Hope it works against B1G competition

Football coaching is so damn cut throat I don't see a guy doing much with nepotism or sticking around the sport if he wasn't really into it. Could easily just sit on a trust fund and do nothing or go into broadcasting.
I've loved the pressure I've seen so far. Even against shitty opponents the past few years it was boy let's hope Trice can be a double team or else the other team has 10 seconds to do whatever they want.
-
Agree. Guys are getting home on blitzes for the first time in forever and tacklers are driving the ball-carrier backwards on contact.
DeBoer defense was finesse, Petersen and Lake defense was a couple run pluggers with shitty linebackers and playing containment in the back end.
Plus we have actual physical studs in the offensive backfield. UW can actually kick people's asses in a few different phases of the game.
-
We certainly are confident. There's no way that could go wrong.
-
Dominate the Kewg and I’ll be close to sold. Rutgers on the road is my test for the defense. They slow down that running game, make that shit QB beat them and I’m in. Sounds easy but I’ve been disappointed before. I’m a Husky fan.
-
Beat the Coug by even 1 point and I'm happy. I don't know even we've even seen the level of grease that team is going to have given they don't even have a conference and what the fuck are they playing for?
-
This. It’s going to be an all-time grease job for Cuog. They’re always greased up for the Apple Cup, but this year is going to be a different thickness and viscosity of grease than we’re accustomed to seeing.
-
Fucking vanilla
-
The Coug played their, “We don’t have a conference” card last year plus they had the, “if we win today we get a bowl game” and the “we’re going to ruin your dream season” cards to make a full house of grease. This Coug team has had a long time to come to grips with being a weird, quasi Mountain West team. Plus last year they had Cam Ward. He’s a much better/proven QB than Mateer. UW should win this game rather easily. Say, 34-17
-
Let’s be real, we win this game. Undertaker.gif
-
That Coug team also had sneaky talent on defense - DE, CB, and S drafted, and they had another decent UDFA DE. And yes, Ward is pretty good.
-
-
their oline may have been the worst we saw last season.
-
I hear the grease they are using this year is midnight cock oil.
-
I have a purple undertaker costume for the apple cup. If I’m going to get drunk and taunt Coogs, might as well do it the right way -
agree with all of this except the 'quasi mtn west team,' mtn west dont even want em around next year. i dont think i even posted about it here, they're in a lot of trouble.
imagine getting told 'its not you, its me' by the mtn west.

The Mt West doesn’t want to be anyone’s second choice. No one does. Cougs are dating the MW now but won’t commit long term because they’re hoping that someone hotter will call them back. WSU isn’t willing to admit that they’re a 5. They were married to an 8 for years and that gave them an over inflated view of themselves but their 8 died suddenly. Now they’re dating a cool and awesome 5. A 5 they have everything in common with, but they can’t commit. They strung the 5 along in hopes that the 7 who hates them will pick up the phone and finally call them back. Now because of having constant wandering eyes the 5 hates them too and wants them to leave but they share a lease on an apartment for a few more months. Nice work Kewgs, you’re almost a single cat lady. Maybe a 4 like the AAC will call before it’s too late.
-
can’t wait until they become Idaho’s main rival and redheaded bastard stepchild
-
This hits a little too close to home for me. Not sure I want to poast here anymore
-
they need to drop down to FCS and play eastern, montana, montana state, and idaho. theyre gonna get fucked on tv revenue but theyre already beyond fucked with their debt holdings. at least playing those teams will have people in the seats and create 'buzz.'
theres gonna be like 10 people in the stands when hawaii and wyoming come to town.
-
They’ll end up in the Big 12. The San Jose States of the world will be the progrums that drop down. Wazzu is too big for FCS ball.
-
Oregon lol
-
Just wait until Dan gets his guys in there.
-
Has the whole wait till he gets his guys in there mantra ever been true in the modern era. I was even thinking Petersen, but the truth was once Petersen lost his Sark guys the teams lost their edge and became too much like him.
-
Not a lot of Sark guys were big contributors in 2016.
Petersen took UW about as far as it was going to go under the old rules. Petersen put together great teams but ran into 11-1 Bama, 10-2 Penn State with losses by 4 points, and 11-1 Ohio State.
Should he have gone at least 1-2 and not 0-3? Yes. Were those some of the hardest matchups he could have drawn? Yes. That Penn State game was winnable.
There was no 8-4 Purdue to smoke in the Rose Bowl.
I've said it before but I'll continue to beat the dead horse. The portal is a game changer for UW.
