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

Going into this week, I'm fairly confident we have what it takes to win. Reasoning (not 5, can't infringe on Damone's gimmick)
- ShawFS will stubbornly call iso runs right into Danny Shelton over and over again.
- The Tree only have one outside threat that scares us, and a QB who is not a dynamic thrower. Match up Peters to Montgomery all game and I think the pass D will show well this week.
- Reasonably coached Special Teams play won't spot them a bunch of points like last year
- Ross back (in theory) returns the threat of the deep ball, opening up more lanes underneath for our Kellen Moore arm strength qb.
I like the Huskies to the tune of 24-13 ish here. As always, LIFPO, but it'll be nice to defend a team who isn't going to chuck it 70 times a game on us.

It's not as funny when I do it.
Miles had a good throw over the middle in the 2nd half when Charles, Tanigawa, and Atoe didn't let guys collapse the middle and / or let blitzing LBs get in his face. Miles didn't look all that great throwing on the run though but having a guy back like John Ross would make a lot of QBs look better.
Ben Riva coming back would be ideal because, while Shelton was decent in subbing, he is still young after a RS year (IIRC, he was only 17 when he enrolled) and Riva is more of a force in the running game.
I'd also like to see Darrell Daniels get more looks in the passing game. He could be a match-up problem for 'Furd's LBs. Even though they have the #1 D, Stanford's front 7 doesn't appear to be as imposing as years past...they are lighter on the DL and they used to have taller LBs like Trent Murphy (6'5" and Chase Thomas (6'4"). Even Shayne Skov was listed at 6'3".
But still.
Edit: reminds me of...
