    This needs to be an HH article. Said article needs to be spread across the internets. Great thread. And it better fucking mention how Sark won 8 (not 9) with that team.

    7 if you dont count Idaho St.

    The other thing is the OL was completely healthy and experienced that season. It wasn't a dreckfest like the year before.
    Sometimes the enemy gives the most honest and concise answer: UW quit after the Oregon game that year.
    You mean like the 2008 Oregon game?

    Good thread. That team was loaded with playmakers. It did have some weak spots too. And Price, despite the hype was an average QB in the PAC 12.

    Timu making the Bears would be interesting because everyone always said he sucked.

    Shaq and ASJ were first round picks

    ASJ was a 2nd round pick

    He washed out of run plays too easily. That was incredibly frustrating to watch for the, what, 4+ years he started? He has pretty good instincts at defending the pass, but it was hard to forgive that when he dropped picks almost every time. As a matter of fact, with him and Shaq I hated UW's defense when backs managed to get 2nd level.

    That was really a pretty stacked team.

    OL was mediocre at best talent wise and it was poorly developed. Other than that rosebowl level talent and experience.

    Would love to see a comparison to the 2000 team.
    Big difference is the QB and OL was better back then.

    I'm not sure the QB was that much better. Tui was certainly a better runner. I think the difference was coaching, coaching, coaching.

    Tui had innate leadership which Price did not and I don't think Tui's leadership was because of coaching. He had that independently and the coaching enhanced it. Price was a better passer but Tui raised the level of play for everyone around him.
