Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Observations from that game
The Great
1) I LOVE Gaskin. His patience and vision is ++. Coleman would be the starter on 75% of power 5 teams.
2) Gaines and Vita just plug the middle like mo fos. They will be monsters this year
3) When Azeem makes contact with the ball carrier, that fucker goes down right at that spot. The yards after contact with him is Zero
The Bad:
1) #28 kept both touchdown drives for Utah alive by missing Williams twice on third down the first drive of the 2nd half, and the stupid roughing the passer penalty on their second td drive.
2) Up 14-0 and in complete control of the game, and us getting 5 or more yards running it virtually any time we want, Our play calls went:
1st down: Seam routes from Pettis/Ross that he had to check down to an incomplete pass as Harris got shoved into the backfield
2nd down: run for two yards
3rd down: Same seam route to Ross, Jake stares him down, slightly late with throw, safety picks it. Even if Jake is on time, Ross gets killed by the safety who has play completely smelled out.
If we just take three knees and punt, with the way the D is controlling the game, I think we win comfortably. If only our OC understood situational football

Regardless, the big point is that @pat_hm was making is that it's amazing how good our defense was considering how many plays Psalm blew. He was on the field all season long and whiffed tim and Timu again. Whichever position he was at and whoever is replacing him should be a considerable improvement.
