1. It was wet
2. Defense played very physical, especially the middle of the line. Any time you can hold Carey to 4.4 avg with a long carry of 13 yards it is a good night. Every game (except Stanford) last year he had at least 1 carry of 15 yards or more. Decker is pretty bad, but the secondary was all over their receivers and their was not much room to throw the ball. I hope we go down to Stanford, fill up the box, put Peters on Montgomery and make Hogan beat us over the top.
3. Keith Price played like a SR QB. The numbers might not show it, but he did not let the mistakes get into his head and he did a great job managing the game when it counted.
4. Sankey is still a major stud. I usually get fired up by big hits on D, but I think he delivered some of the biggest blows of the night.
5. Glad to see we actually went to a "big" package in the RZ.
6. How many pts have we left on the field in the 1st 4 games? I like the run/pass mix, but something is just not clicking with this unit.
I know the conditions were terrible, but we only got 1 ball to Mickens/Ross, and the slot guys have been a huge part of the offense in the first 3 games.
Just like the Illinois game, I feel a little dirty after this win.

Still don't think he can lead this team to 10 wins. I hope I'm wrong. We'll find out a lot about this team in the next three games.
For some reason I have not given up the Stanford game. I will be pissed if we sit back in a soft D and let them run the ball. I would rather they go out on their sword by stacking the box then let Hogan try and beat us. Outside of beating up on the Coogs, Hogan has been at best a good game manager.
I don't see how Sark can survive going 7-6 after a 4-0 start. I think even the Doogs would want him gone.
I'm going to wait and see the next three weeks. Sark in the past would lose these next three games with 2-3 plunger rapings.
Hopefully this year is different.
Stanford is really fucking good and looks like UW from the early 90s. That doesn't bode well for UW next week. Arizona game was meaningless. We'll struggle to put up more than 20 on Stanford.
Against Oregon that's 7 points the other way. Sustaining drives and scoring IS FUCKING CRUCIAL. Oregon would have beat us by 40 points today. If Price wants to win the North, he NEEDS to create plays where there are none on his 2nd read.
I'm very worried about this inconsistent offense. Oregon, Stanford score almost every drive . We score a td at a 30% clip (rough estimate) Price NEEDS to keep drives alive. We get in a fired-up hurry to go three and out
Price just doesn't have any improvisational skills anymore. If you'd have told me that after 2011 I would have never believed you.
Price isn't the problem and played really well in the second half. This is a game UW probably loses if let's say Locker was the QB.
That guy was a one man dreckfest.
