Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Huskies Tonight

As i was watching this game tonight I thought I was watching the Huskies from the Don James era. Playing tough nose defense and running the ball down your throat. The only thing different was that a Freshman QB was playing who made some bad throws but didn't lose the game either. I have seen the Huskies play this way in years. They
hit that QB so many times all he saw was purple and black.

    All the hits Kessler took, made a difference. The penalties were worth it IMO.

    DJ,

    Replied as much on Twitter to you ... so much fun to watch.

    All of us that have either been around the program like you for so many years or those of us that have grown up as fans of the program all know that the key to exciting the fans has ALWAYS been GREAT DEFENSE. This team plays GREAT defense.

    You can take the 50+ points that some teams score and that's all nice. But give me the DB that breaks up the pass on the go route while the safety comes over and cleans the WRs clock every single day of the week while the QB is picking his ass up off the ground.

    I'm looking forward to losing my voice next weekend and finally beating the Ducks and restoring what is all right in the world.

    Hell yeah Donald, I love our front 7 and the DBs aren't no busters either.

    The improvement in the O was better running and making just enough throws to win. Definitely better effort than Cal. Some of those early deep throws, QB will start to hit those as the season progresses. Finally I think Mickens bent that route in the end zone on 3rd down late. If he runs straight to the sideline he catches that ball.

    Where'd he see purple?

    (Great post, BTW.)

    Don't let the way they played fool you Donald. Petersen is arguably worse than Sark at this point. Just ask the cool kids of the board what they think.

    For me, that was great watching Washington physically beat down USC. It's clear early into the 2nd year which coach has their players playing hard and who's team has given up.
