If this game hinges on anything involving WooChing... Doomed.Baseman said:The key to this game will be the linebacking play. Expect Washington to force Colorado to run between the tackles. Wooching and the Potatos will favor contain over pass rush. When Colorados is on offense think a more physical but a step slower Arizona. If our boys can force three and outs we have a better chance to win the game. Say 28-17?

That being said, these Buffs have some talent, a ton of heart, lots of experience, great coaching, and sort of a "team of destiny" vibe. This will be a great game.
I guess that's a thing.

Hopefully they packed up a whole pallet of 40lb boxes of Rape for both the offensive and defensive line to open on the Buffs.

Good morning. Hungover? Me too.Passion said:
Bottom line (at least my read) is that 1) Jonathan Smith must stay committed to the run to keep colorado honest (please God), 2) Washington must have designed plays for its 3rd and 4th WRs (simply relying on Ross and Pettis is not enough), and 3) our OL must do a better job of blocking than they did against usc because colorado will bring heat.
I yield the floor.
Ok, let's go back and review.
1) Jonathan Smith FINALLY committed to the run after some stupid play calls in the first half. It's like he gets anxiety when he hasn't called a pass play for while.
2) Fail. In the first half there were too many long fade patterns which exposed Jake's inaccuracy. Even though the long stuff to Ross and Pettis wouldn't work because of colorado's good CBs and Jake was off, Babushka clearly spent little time designing plays for Fuller, Baccellia, Chico and the TEs.
3) OL was awesome, particularly on running plays. A few breakdowns when colorado brought heat on passing plays, but these were exceptions. There is a reason the announcers gave the O-line the MVP award. They deserved it.
