    With our new hurry up offense, it's too bad we didn't keep Holt around as our DC. Would've been fun to see the numbers that Oregon could've put up on us this year with us hurrying to give the ball to them.

    Did he just refer to himself as Lambo?

    I'm hopeful that the new offense will work, and I have a suspicion that our first quarter against BSU will be electrifying.

    But here's my concern: Remember back in the Neuheisel days, when he got all cutesy with trying to do late substitutions to get the best matchups defensively with the opposing offense? How many times did the opponent snap the ball before we were set? The players I interviewed in subsequent years told me how much they hated it. That's my concern for the offense under Sark. That as the season wears on it'll be a cutesy clusterfuck and announcers will be deriding it during a national telecast at some point.

    How is that different from the last four years? I feel like everything Sark does is a cutesy clusterfuck.

    In fact that could be the name for your next book. "Husky football in the Steve Sarkisian era: A cutesy clusterfuck".

    The guy is so far in over his head. He has no identity as a coach or as an offensive play caller. When he gets fired by UW(in 2017) I wouldn't even want him as an OC or QB coach.

    What I think is likely to happen is that eventually our offense won't be able to make enough first downs to justify running the no-huddle hurry up bullshit and we'll be burning less than 30 seconds off the game clock while we're on offense and our defense will be fucking gassed.

    Its just like basketball. If you have the better talent, you'll want to speed the game up to give yourself more possessions, more opportunities to score. If you don't, you're going to want to slow down the pace, take the air out of the ball, and hope you're more efficient than the more talented team.

    Who knows if Sark gets this. I'm guessing he doesn't and Arizona, ASU, UCLA, and Oregon will sideways plunger fuck us into tears because their time of possession will be 40 minutes to our 20, our special teams will suck balls again, and their score will start with a 5 and ours will start with a 1....rather easily, say 56-13?

    Not sure why we want to get in a track meet with the likes of Oregon, Arizona and UCLA. Heck, we can't even keep up with WSU in the 4th qtr.

    Our head coach is in over his head that's why. He has no clue how to game plan week to week, make adjustments, coach up his kids, or see the flow of the fucking game.

    Exactly. No one should want to get in a track meet with those guys. You might not have wanted to get raped, but you're walking downtown with nothing but a sports bra, fishnets, and fuck me pumps. I mean, you're going to get pounded in the ass.

    The only way to beat teams like that is get them in a phone booth and slug it out. Is there a team in the conference that can do that? Oh yeah...Stanford, the Rose Bowl champs.

    And we have come full circle to my original point in the other thread. For all the bitching about Sark, his #1 failure is to recruit TOP level talent on both lines.

    People get fooled by the smoke and mirrors of Oregon, but the majority of their success comes from the quality of their beef in the trenches.
