Hell why not pass 75 times per game? -
Whoosh. Point is UW won't do shit without a passing game, so it's pointless to repeat "just give it to Gaskin" over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Gaskin's a beast, but 55 carries a game from him won't win the Pac 12 without an effective passing game to compliment him, because defenses adjust, bottle up the running game, and reduce the YPC. The biggest problem last year wasn't not handing the ball to Gaskin enough. That was ONE problem. The bigger problem was a shit-show passing game for most of the season that made UW predictable, tentative and one-dimensional until about midway through the season, combined with the worst play-calling, especially the Lindy shit, in the league.
WouldaShouldaCoulda tickles a lot of taints on these boards, especially with Gaskin, but it's junk science. More Gaskin carries = equals more wins last year is just as speculative as more Gaskin carries = less YPC or even a Gaskin injury. Those who invest in WouldaShouldaCoulda ignore the fact that defenses adjust. Instead, true doogs take Gaskin's YPC and extrapolate that more carries automatically means more wins, as though opponents remain static and never adjust. It's unrealistic.
Fact is if you look at the stats, and add up the failed passing plays last year, you find the actual missing pieces of the offense right there. Those failed plays comprise actual hard data versus taint-tickling speculation, and we know the lack of an effective passing game killed more drives and scoring chances than what might have happened if we gave Gaskin more carries. We know it, because we saw it, because it actually happened. Stats. Real data. Evidence. Good science. Hope, extrapolation and wishful thinking? Feel-good junk science. -
Cougs enter the Apple Cup riding the arm of their walk-on Heisman Cinderella, 60 minutes away from their first Pac-12 championship appearance but the discussion is clouded by the reality of an OCS that includes, Eastern, Idaho and Boise. Is the WSU body of work in Pac-12 play strong enough to land Mike Leach in his first final four?... the debate rages as the pre-Apple Cup hype builds.
First half starts and like clockwork, Falk embarrasses yet another Pac-12 defense building a 21 point lead. However, nobody noticed the ligaments in his elbow ripping apart on the last play of the half. When asked why freshman walk-on sensation Narly Defect took the field to start the second half, Leach deadpans, "We're resting Falk for the Championship game"
Cuogs go on to Cuog-it in double overtime, Huskies win the North and the Cuogs lose to Alcorn State in the latest new bowl game played before Christmas.
Cuogs celebrate one of the most exciting seasons in Cuog history, Falk declares early for the Draft and Leach gets hired away to Arizona. Meanwhile, Bull Muse places the runner-up trophy of the Petco Bowl into the trophy case proclaiming, "THIS is what it's allllll about!" -

TL;DR: UW owns WSU with or without Falk until proven otherwise.sarktastic said:Cougs enter the Apple Cup riding the arm of their walk-on Heisman Cinderella, 60 minutes away from their first Pac-12 championship appearance but the discussion is clouded by the reality of an OCS that includes, Eastern, Idaho and Boise.
