    Those TD drives you speak of were driven by Mariota's arm/legs and not their ground game ... Oregon's base running attack didn't "win the day" for them.

    So you are saying that you'd be pissed w/ a 10-2 regular season this year?

    In the end, yes. Because I believe Sark will never win a PAC12 conference title let alone a national championship. I have felt this way for 3 years now (not as long as some here). I wanted to believe this year was different. But, the same "bad things" over and over is why he will never return the program to elite status. So, the sooner we get beyond Sark the better.

    My thoughts before the season were 9-3 ... I think that that's still very attainable for this team.

    Saturday is a must win game - no doubt about it.

    I don't see anyway that this team does a 7-6 season this year ... I find it hard to believe that they come in anywhere under 8 in the regular season given what is left ...

    If Sark was to go 0-4 in conference road games, then I'd agree with comments questioning whether or not he's the answer.

    Mariota's legs are part of their base running attack.

    Hope this helps.

    This won't be a popular opinion, but I thought Oregon beat us on Saturday simply because they were a better team with answers to any question we asked them. It sucks to say that ...

    We pissed the Stanford game away ... that pisses me off.

    The question is how do we rebound against ASU? Do we come out and play a strong game that earns us a very good road win in a place that we haven't won in forever? Or do we make sloppy mistakes that earn us another moral victory of being a really good team that can't just get over the hump for whatever reason?

    My point on Mariota was that he didn't hurt us on the read option or on designed QB runs ... where he hurt us was by breaking the pocket on designed passes b/c we didn't have the DEs that could get up the field and contain him ... instead he was able to do whatever he wanted in the pocket, escape, and then compromise the defense.

    There's not a great way to defend that if you don't have the players to be able to pull it off ... and let's be honest here, we all can pretty much agree that the DE position isn't a strength for this team.

    Only losers, or doogs, give a shat about moral victories. Oh, Puritans too, but they're hardly relevant today.

    1. not being able to get over the hump is not a moral victory
    2. Moral victories do not exist.

    Win or GTFO
    In the hypothetical world of Tequilla and Coach Sark, UW will be 7-0 after this Saturday's moral victory.

    And where have I ever said that moral victories are a good thing?
