    - Senior QB entering 3rd season as a starter, holds school record for TD passes in a season
    - Returning starter at RB who rushed for 1400+ yards and is a stud, good backups
    - All American TE, solid TE backups
    - Good WR core made up of veterans and allegedly talented newcomers
    - O-Line of juniors and seniors, all with starting experience. Good run blockers.
    - D-Line has key players coming back from injury and tons of starting experience
    - Solid core of veteran LB's
    - Senior safeties, one of which will be a 3 year starter and an all pac-12 caliber player
    - New stadium, easily the best in the conference
    - 20 returning starters
    - 5th year coach with 3 straight bowl appearance





    One of those points is holding this program back. Win the conference or GTFO





    The WRs as a group are mediocre/unproven.
    The OL and DL are soft.
    The stadium is nice, but it's not easily the best in the conference. Let's see what sort of homefield advantage UW actually gets from playing there first.
    UW still has to play road games in the Pac-12. We really should petition the conference for 9 home games one of these years.


    Having said all that, it's on the coach. Three straight bowl appearances isn't an accomplishment in modern college football. Orange slices and all that.

    The stadium is the best in the conference, what the fuck are you talking about?

    Every team has to play road games. I'm looking at this roster as it is on paper, I'm not taking into account Sark's fucking horrific player management, playcalling, and performances on the road.

    And indeed, 3 bowl appearances and 5 years of experience doesn't mean shit, hence my poont about one of the bullet points actually being the weak link
    The stadium sure looks the best in the conference now, but it could actually be quieter because the students have been deported to the end zone and replaced by fat cats who tend to sit on their hands.

    Let it play out.
    Valid point. Im hoping the closer proximity of the fans to the field makes up for it.

    On second thought, fuck it, don't care. Either way I will be enjoying the game from the comfort of my living room, drinking shiner and smoking hash oil out of the bong. Beats the hell out of soda cups and ticket prices in THIS economy

    Plus we get Gus Johnson at home.
    And blowjobs during halftime from the comfort of the couch
    It's cheaper to get blowjobs at home on the couch than from some bum on the Ave after the game.
    Depends how much you're paying your hookers for a house call

    You forgot Jack H Lockner, the best player on the field. Or John Ross, who will emerge to help win 2 games all by himself.

    I'll say one thing, the lad sure did know how to give momma Lockner a sloppy, wet peck on the lips

    Agree. The stadium, as a venue, is easily the best in the conference but that will only translate to a large home field advantage with crowd participation. And, to poont out the obvious, that will require better play.

    trust issues are holding them back from reaching their Pac12 title.
