Fiesta Bowl rewatch thoughts

Really? I saw a team that was flat-out better being better, until they weren't. Washington getting back into that game was predicated on that PSU fumble on the shovel pass, leading to a short field and score, and your coach not panicking and calling a nails series to open the second half. Down 28-7, Washington was just being beaten by a better team with more good players.RoadDawg55 said:We weren’t that much worse than Penn State. The margin was small. They are good, but I would imagine Penn State has players they know are weak.
We came out flat, played like shit, and got buried either. You can’t give up 93 yard TD runs.
We need more talent, but a lot of it was just playing like shit the first half. It’s somewhat surprising that a well coached team like UW would come out so flat and timid.
For reasons we needn't discuss, it would blow up my DNA to compliment or give credit to PSU. I really hate that fucking program and all their fans ... even more than I hate southern hillbilly-sponsored progrums.RoadDawg55 said:We weren’t that much worse than Penn State. The margin was small.

But I saw a fundamentally better team beat a fundamentally good but less good team. I credit your coach for Washington being able to make a game of it. That second half drive was ALL Peterman knowing what in the fuck to do. The short-field fumble (unforced) helped a lot. And Washington took advantage of some opportunities, which you have to credit them for. But at one point it was 28-7 and it looked like you were going to be ridden like a mule, until it didn't.
It does help to have a QB. I concede that point. -
I’ve always believe Washington can be good enough to compete with anyone, but we need a difference maker at QB.
We lack talent in places and hopefully that changes, but a great QB is an equalizer. Whoever said, switch QB’s and we win was correct.
We don’t lose to ASU with a better QB and we probably don’t lose to Stanford, even though our defense got shredded.
As hard as we are on Myles Bryant, there is a real possibility he’s just better than Molden and other 4 star recruits. If there aren’t better guys, it’s not an indictment on Bryant, BBK, or Nick Harris. -
@creepycoug analysis of UW football is always hurtful.

Call me crazy, but when I watch Kirkland whiff all day I start to curse out Henry Roberts for not being able to supplant that dudBayDawg said:Yes, Harris was bad, but watch Kirkland early in the game. Just watch. There were plays where he didnt even get a hand on his assignment. It was mind blowing.

Well there's this: Gaskin may have been the third best player on the field. You have to give Barkeley the top spot, and arguably McSorely the second. If Peterman could have found a way to continue trickeration with Gaskin you might win that one. But Peterman knows trickeration better than me or anyone else here, and he probably knows that if you do it over and over again it's not trickeration. Washington couldn't just run him on Penn State straight up, he knew that and picked his spots. Still, the guy just needs a little crease and it's over. In any event, he sure as shit showed up to play. So there's that.haie said:@creepycoug analysis of UW football is always hurtful.

UW players dont know if they can win these games. Other teams are more confident.
This loss was really disappointing. UW needed to win to turn the corner. Instead, the players lost another huge program changing game.
Beating Colorado last year was not impressive. Lost the only 2 big games.
The Stanford game from last year is looking more and more like a fluke.
We need to beat Auburn.

It was a big must win game for UW and Browning didnt choke. That was my point.

We also need 1-2 more classes like the one we have signed. We need size.RoadDawg55 said:I’ve always believe Washington can be good enough to compete with anyone, but we need a difference maker at QB.
