ASJ posting up in that fly sweep bubble screen package will be tough to handle.

If your going to be negative about the mower (I like to call it the mower) I'm out.

Ya, I agree. Fingers, toes and everything else crossable crossed, they look like they're going to match up well against most of the PAC. They should have a real shot in every game they play, provided Sark keeps Sarktardo at bay. It's a long season though, this was just the first game, and we've been treated to more mid season slumps than a crack ho between pipe sessions. I'm still in a wait and see mode, but feeling a lot better about the team's chances this year.DerekJohnson said:When teams more athletic than Boise pin down our bubble screens, will Sark be able to adjust and go to the run with Sankey and mid-range passes down the middle to stretch things out? Based on last night, the answer is a resounding YES. But based on his history, you have to wait with fingers crossed.
My biggest concern is how they stand up to teams like Stanford, especially on the road. Stanford is the most physical team in the conference by a fair margin and it is an away game for the Huskies. People seem to forget, Stanford won the conference title last year, and along the way beat oregon at autzen and UCLA twice in consecutive games. Playing fast is great until drives start stalling, three and outs start piling up, and your defense starts getting pounded, which is exactly what teams like Stanford, and 81% of the SEC, are built to force.
Bottom line, we'll know more after Arizona and Stanford. Those teams represent small ball speed @home and big boy power on the road. Still enjoying the buzz from last night, but waiting to see if this group of Huskies are for real.

Three thoughts:
1. Way to open up the new digs, dawgs.
2. Offense should be competitive with Arizona/Oregon the likes (e.g. no excuses for plunger sessions)
3. Penalties are still worrisome (8 for UW versus 2 for BSU). Will be more of an issue in P12 play.

Good point on the penalties, but you're two thoughts short of the requisite five.

1) I can't believe Sark didn't kick a field goal on that 4th and 1. God our coach is so incompetent.
2) Our team played like shit, not even close to their potential. It was clearly apparent that there was absolutely no player development over the off season.
3) Our team was soft. No toughness whatsoever.
4) Fire Sark now before we go 7-6 again. -

Disagree that "they never got near Price." He was pressured on a few occasions, forced out of the pocket, threw the ball away, and was sacked at least once.
Yes, pass protection was MUCH better (partially because Price got rid of the ball quicker), but I think it's a little too early to breathe a sigh of relief. As you said, so far, so good.
