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

One could argue

...that the blocked extra point in the first half changed the complexion of the game in the 2nd half. We would have taken the lead after Shaq's amazing strip and TD. With a one point lead Peterman would have never given the punt team the option of a fake with a one point lead.

...didn't like the call but I will read the bored first before I make a short comment like Tequila since I can't read at the moment due to my @Swaye‌ type hangover.

    One point lead or not, the fake punt was FS. I guess Petersen has some learning and improving to do himself.

    I agree but unlike our previous coach he has the chops to learn from his mistakes. I still have extreme confidence that Peterman and his offensive staff will fix the issues moving forward. I think it's time to make Jeff (wildcat) the clear 3rd option and give the RFreshman a series or two under live bullets.

    We need a big receiver to step up and if KWilliams isn't 100% yet, I would like to see Daniels split wide myself. This bye week will help and with Smith/Pease and Pete I believe they will put Miles in a better position going forward, let's hope. However, the missed Spring has clearly hurt Miles development and that's on him and the coaches to fix moving forward.

    As for big receivers, it would have been nice to have Stringfellow on the roster. He and Miles may have had that QB/WR chemistry that you need sometimes (insert beating up the 12FS joke here).

    I'm really disappointed about Kasen Williams. He's still hurting. He could be put in jump-ball situations against smaller CBs, but you have to have a QB who can throw those type of passes.

    I still can't believe how shitty the QB situation is.

    Meh, I'm not sold that a made extra poont would have changed the complexion of the game that much. Miles didn't have it all game, whether it was because he moved around too much or missed targets, and that's why we lost.

    Really? We would have had a 14-13 lead with the ball at midfield. The 4th down punt pins them deep and having the one point lead Peterman had no reason to risk field position with the way our D was playing. It's clear he didn't have much confidence in the O but we have to give Stanford credit for their D getting the hand on that kick. IMO that block was the huge play.

    It was not a block. It was a botched snap, which the Mad Swede panicked on, picked up, and tried to run it up the middle. It actually looked like he had enough time to try to pick it off the turf and place it for a successful PAT, as Stanford didn't have much of a rush on that particular attempt.

    Lundquest botched that snap and then in the 2nd half Miley goes under center on a 4th and 1, bobbles the snap and doesn't pick up the 1st down.

    2 center-QB exchanges in a tight game make a huge impact.

    I stand corrected, I was fairy drunk in the first half from Jell-O shots. FM, still a big miss. Not sure how I missed the play (drunk excuse>old excuse).

    Miles rushed that snap, too. He had plenty of time on the play clock to line up and take his time. I'm not sure if he was trying to catch the Stanford D off-guard, but that wasn't going to happen. He panicked for the 1000th time in the game and fucked up that play. I liked the call to go for it in that situation, but the execution definitely left a lot to be desired.

    My thoughts exactly. I don't know that he took a snap under center before that and then to get up there and rush it like that was MileyCyrusFS.

    I was thinking the same thing when he went under center and screwed up... that the Huskies have been running every offensive play from the shotgun and the QBs are out of practice lining up under the center. They need more reps under center if they're going to run such a play.
