And it is keeping the pass attempts to 20 or less even if the run game is struggling. Unless Bama unleashes an offensive attack on the scoreboard I am going to stick with a punt being better than a Browning pass attempt in most cases.
No worries guys. When Gaskin and Coleman get shut down, Jake Browning will win the game single-handedly.
I know it is hard for a Coug to understand what the importance of the running game is ... but to win the game UW doesn't need the running game to be 35 carries for 200 yards (not that that wouldn't be nice) ... it needs to be strong enough to get positive gains to keep Alabama off balance, create 3rd and short/medium situations, and shorten the game.
As I've said a few times, if UW can end the game in the 35 carries for 125-135 yard range, I will really like my chances at UW coming out with a victory.
I know it's hard for the King of the Doogs to understand, but Johnathan Fucking Smith is your play caller and you WILL be throwing the ball 30-40 times in the game.
2015 USC game - gaskin's best game. Ran to the left all game with gaskin hiding behind the OL. Best run hope. Agree on the double tight. That's my Doogest hope.
Point 2 - browning's wrist or shoulder was hurt and is better. My admittedly uniformed thesis. Bama is prone to big plays if Jake gets anytime.
Benning flashes ... but he's not as consistent as you'd like him to be.
IF Benning somehow has had the light go on and it clicks for him in the lead up practices for this game, then that would be HUGE for us.
Cam Robinson is an absolute stud at LT. The rest of their OL, particularly their interior, isn't going to be tied to highly drafted studs. So much of what they do in the run game starts with the fact that they re-establish the LOS 2-3 yards down the field. We need to be able to stand/cut their OL down so that we can rally to the football and not be pushed down the field in the process.
If Benning can give some quality snaps on the edge, then that would be a GREAT sign.
Congratulations @Dennis_DeYoung for winning the final Haiku of the year... possibly ever since I envision some ritualistic mass suicide on this board in about 8 hours

First you'll throw a lot due to stupidity.
Next you'll throw out of necessity.
