Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Imagine what we'll be able to do against a shitty defense

    That's why I don't do any research before posting. If I'm wrong, somebody who has already done the research will correct me, and now I know the facts without having to do any research. If I'm right, then fuck yeah I was right bitches.


    Also why I hire kids smarter than me.

    The more you know...

    Maybe Utah, Auburn, and ASUs defenses are only rated high because they played against our offense.

    Considering we scored more points against each of those teams than their average, good call.
    San Diego State scored more points on ASU than we did.

    LSU scored more points on Auburn than we did.

    Utah only played 2 cupcakes before us so their stout D hasn't really been tested yet.

    I mean sure, maybe our O could do well against shitty defenses, but are we going to win or even go to a NY6 bowl with an offense that needs to face a shitty defense to look good?

    No one said anything about this being a good offense.

    Utah’s ranking means close to nothing considering they played NIU and Southern Utah outside of us. Yeah, we’ve played good Ds, but our offensive output has still been well below what it should be.

    Math is pretty hard tbh
    Disagree. Most people have poor algebra habits. Myself included.

    Based on the data you commented on, you might be averaging multiple averages (mean) and attempt to trend those data. No bueno.

    The advanced maff/stats cannot be done without the ability to manipulate basic algebraic functions in your head. Also, learning basic dataset assumptions. Know those two...and you can make some maff sense.

    What do these teams have in common, besides that three of them have gotten to play against Jake Browning?

    Their front 7s are way better than their secondarys. And we have Jake Browning.

    To add to the fact that we? say the offense sucks but perhaps it will be better argument:

    Apparently UW is 31st in Offensive S&P+

    I was pretty shocked with that, seeing as how the garbage has looked disjointed and crappy. I think in reality it's been fine between the 20's, and just shitty in the redzone. 50% touchdowns is awful. Convert at a 70% clip, and the offense looks much better.



    That said, be better.
