Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
a lot of good and a lot of bad
The good is we finally have an OL and DL that can stand up against SEC competition. Our DL honestly was dominant in the run game, Auburn had to manufacture their running game through misdirection.
Also good: we finally have the makings of a workable WR unit.
Also good: no one in the pac-12 is going to stop us running the ball.
Bad: this was an incredible missed opportunity that will not come around often. better redzone play and that's a win. Bacellia not committing OPI, not turning the ball over. We still need a better QB and more speed at LB.
This is a team that had never been in that position before, hopefully they learn from those mistakes cause they're gonna have to. Auburn plays 2-3 of these games every year. Also the fourth quarter officiating if better could have very easily changed the outcome. How the fuck was the targeting call not reviewed? absolutely absurd.
This loss is a missed opportunity, but will not define our season. I'm almost certain that this team is better than last year's.

This team is good and deep enough to run the table in pac-12 play. losing any game other than oregon (due to the bye and back-to-back road game bs) would be completely unacceptable
We dominated the second half though.
It was a game of missed opportunities for both teams. It's also week 1 and both teams will look a lot different come november
There is no one left on the schedule where we won't have the superior talent 1-22 and the better coaching staff.
If we lose one from here on out (and I think we will) all they will have to do is look in the mirror as the reason why.
But if UW plays like we did today, there isn't a team in the Pac-12 that stays with us.
You've been in that position before, against Bama and Penn State. No excuse for wilting under the bright lights.
Auburn can have some incredibly shitty years. We don't know yet if this is one of them.
Pete is a great coach, but not a top 5 coach. Browning still at the helm is inexcusable for a team that's claims to be seeking a playoff appearance.
UW fans will think their D-line was great but it was more Gus than them. The LB play was mediocre to awful and that will lose them the Stanford game again.
Browning still blows cock and the WR's are a little better than expected.
UW loses two more along the way.
