Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Yes, the season is over and Browning is a fucking unatheltic choke artist as usual but...
We saw some seriously encouraging play from the O-line, WR's, and defense. One more quality recruiting class + Eason + Ahmed and we'll get there.
I for one am shocked by the play of Hilbers and Kirkland. They held their own and gave us more than a chance to win against an elite D-line. If those two guys are the starters at their positions next season we will only need to replace McGary with Roberts, Bain, Curne, or Luciano. Trajectory of the O-line looks really, really good. Huff is the right man for the job.
That was the best team UW is going to face the entire regular season and they should have beaten them by at least two scores.
The biggest reason this sucks is all the great players we'll lose after this season. Gaines, Johnson, Rapp, etc. Those guys deserved this win and will be hard to replace.

Our QB (can’t even say his name anymore) is a bag of shit choke artist in big games.
Add those two together and we need to simply get comfortable going 9-3 and beating crappy teams.
Hurray for us.
You're going to need to go back and rewatch the game. Our O-line against their D-line outperformed their O-line against our D-line. Browning had all day to throw at times and had enough time to throw most of the game. The running game was a struggle most of the game but in no way was it as much of struggle as it was against Bama. Gaskin left a lot of meat on the bone dancing in the back field instead of hammering it in there for 3 or 4 yards.
Fucking Jaxson Kirkland single blocked their best D-lineman #5 in pass pro multiple times and won those reps. I don't think he gave up a sack all game. That kid is going to be a monster next season. Jared Hilbers played a very clean game as well. Also very few penalties on the O-line.
Like I said, the O-line easily played well enough for UW to win the game. Some people are only capable of remembering the bad plays after a loss.
Who said anything about 9-3. That was the best team UW is gonna play all season. More like 12-1 or 11-2 and then the bowl game.
Jake is good against most teams.
Against top end teams he becomes more of a liability. His partial athleticism, questionable decision making and execution become amplified.
Like we saw today.
He can still improve more. I think he's actually improved a little more than what HH gives him credit for ... But when you're competing for nattys thats the threshold you cross.
Still, im excited for 2021/22 or 3. Thats the fucking year. When we have full passthrough of high end recruits who have experience under Pete. Talent and development at every position.
You can't go 5-14 on 3rd down and have so many dead/zero plays b/c one of Auburn's DL has blown up the run or making your qb do a scramble drill because of immediate pressure.
