    While we are on the topic of crazy stats:

    Since Pettis took over as the primary punt returner four seasons ago, he personally has 1,132 punt return yards. Over the past four years UW has given up 260 PR yards as a team.

    That's a lot of hidden yardage. Special teams matter.

    I got that stat from the UW SID's Twitter. The SID office is no longer totally useless.

    Just axe Vizcaino.

    I think strength of schedule matters a lot. So far, we've only played teams that are cupcakes or similar soft pastries.

    This would be a good time to insert that GIF of Bama breaking for a 50 yard run on our D as we fail to tackle their 270 pound running back. I'm 100% confident this year's team would have the same issues.

    Our D is awesome against Pac12 or similar week competition, but it isn't elite yet.

    Mata'afa is an undersized god. Other than that, they are just small.

    disagree. The same thing that is making us look not great vs cupcakes is a big benefit vs bama. No one will be getting 50+ yard runs. they might still get 20 or 30 but BBK + Myles Bryant have gained too much experience getting dragged by mediocre running backs. Bama could break through some but they won't make it 50 yards vs our swarming defense when BBK or myles is holding onto your back leg.

    Disagree. Elite defenses give up plays to elite players, it happens. Bama scored 17 on us? Other than LSU, no other team they played could do that to them. Our defense is plenty fucking good and good enough for a natty.
    They scored all they needed to score to win. They didn't want to risk injuring their players in this scrimmage game for the NC game.
