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

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.
(Great post, BTW.)
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.
Big ups and respect.
If you need a negative to this, it's to be worried if Pete will bring in OKG's that are like Qualls, Victor, and King. Those guys have the cocky Sark mindset, but are actually coached by a legit coaching staff that won't let them be frontrunning POS. Hopefully we keep bringing those guys in.
I remember the QB with the 70's porn stache, that guy was cool. The cocky annoying RB who banged a cheerleader or something. And Coach Pete pulling god damn leprechauns out of his @BallSacked the whole game.
What evs, tots nvm.
OKG means ultra competitive and obsessed with football.
Yeah, that's a good formula for swagger and cockiness.
He has always been 6'3" and one of the best athletes on the team. He still sucked. Even with the same coaching he got this year. He still sucked. He didn't improve at all last year.
This year it has been an exponential growth curve. The first couple games he had flashes but still looked tentative. I missed most the Cal game (thank god) but last night was the first time he looked truly elite.
What changed? His position.
