Sankey is really good
A healthy Keith Price who gets time to throw is a dangerous weapon
Oline looked much better, but still needs to cleanup penalties
Dline has some issues, but Hau'oli is looked like a beast, especially after missing so much time. But we need to figure out a pass rush and how to hold the end on those sweeps.
Sark was lucky his game/clock management at the end of the 1st half did not come back to bite him. And if you think the stadium was full of Sark lovers, they were not sitting in my section, especially after he neglected to call a timeout after Price's 6yd run on the last drive of the 2nd qtr.
Shamburger was a pleasant surprise. He looked very fast and aggressive and made a couple of really nice hits.
Jordan Polk was electric tonight.
Mark Brunell is a stud.
Stadium gets 2 thumbs up.

- I noticed the crowed boo'd Sark for going into halftime with 3 timeouts instead of taking a shot so perhaps we aren't in the minority like I thought.
- Price played terrific. Just like what was mentioned in five reasons he was the best player on the field nuff said on that.
- The DL was shaky but the secondary made up for it. No YAC at all for their WR's. A lot of 3-4 yard gains non stop but no big plays at all.
- Mickens was a difference maker. Didn't see that one coming. Sure nice to see him live up to his 4 star status and hopefully this is the start of a fabulous career at Washington!
Mickens looked dynamite, and I like how Sark tried to find creative ways to get the ball in his hands.
I am guessing we are not really a top 10 team, but if Boise is really number 19, we looked like a top 10 team. So, assuming Boise is really about 40, we looked like a top 25 team. None of it matters, we not only won, we punched them in the face and won by 30+. How long has it been since we plungered a decent to good team. In my desires for this season, that was one of the keys to me. 9-10 wins, big road win or two, keep our losses close, and really crush a good team.
I think Ross is going to be a pretty darn good player.
Stadium is amazing.
Our cheerleaders looked cuter to me this year. Maybe I was too drunk.
Still not enough DL pressure (Go figure), but someone has really taught our secondary how to tackle. Nice to see.
LBs look very good to me.
I like the hurry up O. I don't give a fuck if we have to copy Oregon, Arizona, or whoever. We need to establish an offensive identity and smack people in the mouth. I like running out of the I and punishing teams. However, I like winning more. Maybe retard Sark can settle on something that finally works and start beating other teams up. We do have some speed and playmakers finally (Mickens, Ross).
Sankey is a great running back.
Price was making good decisions and looked relatively mobile.
I am hopeful that maybe we turned the corner and can become a 10 win team, and yet scared because I could see this being the dreaded 8 win season that gets a mediocre Sark here forever.
Let it play out.
p.s. WTF Oregon State?
The only teams who beat Oregon have great DL play and I suspect that will be the only way this hurry up offense is shut down or if Sark goes back to his old ways and gives up giving the ball to Sankey.
If a team isn't deep at DL that is going to kill them. This whole conference runs this offense now with Cal, ASU, AZ, WSU and of course Oregon so our lack of depth on DL is going to hurt us at some point.
But he didn't look like an idiot frat boy last night. Even when up big he looked serious and all business. No jumping on the sidelines like a fucking idiot monkey. No yucking it up like a fat girl at a party looking to get some pipe layed. And he actually looked engaged in the game, instead of his usual:
1) Head buried in the playbook still trying to remember the call for BUBBLE SCREEN
2) Slack jawed retard staring blankly at the jumbotron dreaming of a Dick's burger for his triple chin
Maybe he was channeling a real Coach last night. I don't fucking care. Just win.
Even after the game he admitted he didn't even noticed the crowd he was so focused on the game. Up 31-6 he started to run the ball but kept Price in there and we still ran our offense. He was still focused on getting one more score.
I liked up 24-6, Wilcox calls a corner blitz. How many times in the past have we seen the Huskies go to prevent there? That dates back to when Lambo was head coach even. I loved that we didn't let up one bit.
If you didn't know better that looked like Oregon last night kicking the shit out of a good opponent. Like Oregon on defense they didn't look dominant yet at the end of the day allowed only 6 points. On offense they just wore you down and broke through in the second half.
Nebraska and Virginia tech copied uw back in the 90s and it worked fine for them.
Far as defensively I remember Arizona copying UW's attacking style of defense from 1992-1994.
Nebraska tried mimick what uw did with personell and va tech even copied the scheme as well as personel.
When the wishbone came out people probably said the same thing.
This offense should roll over most teams and produce against UCLA & ASU. Stanford & Oregon will be the real tests with UCLA & ASU next.
