    To me it's the record I predicted. One of my problems is the way it went down. The schedule was easier than I thought and I figured even if we lost there was going to be an exciting offense with Demond. Instead the pieced together defense was far and away the strength of the team and that is contingent a lot on playing shitty QBs/offenses, a DC who could leave, and not any star players to build around.

    Judd and the program if they want to make a move in 2026 need to be better in the portal. Not being able to identify they would have no pass rush going into last year and finding a way to get some guys in who could was a 2-3-loss difference.

    Reminds me too much of Sark

    Beat the inferior teams, get creamed by the good ones

    It was the Wisconsin loss that hurt the most (Demond throwing an INT in the end zone and also fumbling deep in his own territory). That he threw an INT in the end zone and in double coverage showed he hadn't fully absorbed the lessons he should have learned in the Wisconsin game.

    Not having #2 WR RS-Soph Rashid Williams hurt the offense too and thankfully UW will have a deeper WR corp in 2026.

    I suspect the staff thought that Isaiah Ward and Deuce Davis would be healthy and contribute more to the pass rush. It didn't work out that way and the pass rush really suffered. A stud DE should be the #1 priority.

    The defense was good enough to beat pretty much anyone if visor genius Jedd’s NFL offense could have kept pace.

    Again, it’s not hard to identify the issue here.

    Would i have taken 8-4 with Jedd? I guess?

    Yeah for over achieving mediocre expectations.

    UW probably wouldn't have fired him even if he went 3-9 so I guess there's that.
