No road game is a gimme if we can lose to WSU. Sark's road record is terrible. I think we will go 0-4 in conference road games this year, 1-3 at best.vadawg said:Illinois away is no gimme for this team. I'll actually be surprised if we win that game....sad. Hope I'm wrong.

Illinois is the Colorado of the Big10. I could certainly see us struggling and then pulling away. If we lose that game then Sark should be fired on the spot and left in Illinois to walk home.vadawg said:Illinois away is no gimme for this team.

not sure what you're implying, but... i have been to a restaurant on south lake union called Joey's one time and during that one visit was propositioned by a drunk ho to meet her in the bathroom for some sex. quality place for recruiting.

Yeah, but did you take her up on it and did your boss warn you not to do it ever again or you'd be fired?Meek said:DerekJohnson said:

9 wins would require 2 road wins if the Huskies go undefeated at home, including probable "upset" wins over BSU, Oregon, and Arizona. Sark has had difficulty getting more than one road win in the past two seasons and with a probable (tenth straight) loss to Oregon, he would need 3 road wins to have a shot at 9 total. That would mean Husky wins at Illinois, Oregon State, and either UCLA or ASU.
The thing is, if the 2013 Huskies with questions at QB, WR, and both offensive and defensive lines can get a win over BSU right out of the shute, Sark could have something to field that he hasn't had yet. That would be a good balanced team with strengths in all phases of his game, offense, defense, special teams, and sideline coaching. BSU will be improved, perhaps much improved, over what the 2012 Huskies couldn't quite beat in the MAACO Bowl. Peterson's teams always play well and up to their capability on the road and he will have the Broncos better prepared for the season opener in Husky Stadium than they were in Las Vegas. BSU does not start their seasons slow.
Wins in the first two games will tell a lot as would a loss in either. Except for more progress on defense, I don't have expectations for anything much different from last year. The offensive staff will be different and perhaps that will help, let us hope so,....... but I think the 2013 Huskies are likely to struggle getting to more than six wins. If I'm wrong, it will mean that Sark and staff have found the way to start a season fast and prepare the Huskies for getting off the bus at each and every road venue.

Hate to go AuburnDawg on you, but we return way more guys than Boise, are playing at home and had the better players at the bowl game. And Illinois is awful.
I also don't see questions at WR. Its going to be strong. Kasen will have a much better year and James Johnson and Kevin Smith are healthy. JJ is a strong #2 and Smith is a good athlete who has showed it at times. With ASJ, JJ and Kasen, Mickens would be an effective #4. And you'd figure at least one of the three true freshman will make an impact. -
BSU did graduate a large number of seniors at least by our standards, but the local Spring news here in Boise is that although most were contributers, fewer than we think were starters or #2 backups in 2012.
As for the Husky WR corp, it is (based on what we saw last year) comprised primarily of one returning starter, Kasen Williams. And contrary to this Spring's expert information, KP is above average in speed and WR skills....... just short on help from his teammates. Until they can prove themselves healthy and as good as you think they are with starter caliber performances in actual 2013 game action, JJ and Smith will continue to stand on the sidelines as returning non-factors in our passing attack. I would expect Campbell to contribute more if Sark ever finds a way or inclination to get the slot WR position back to some level of relevance. After all the recruiting hype, Mickens was a disappointment last season, but could still breakout and become something in the future. ASJ isn't on the roster or in the program at present and really didn't show-up in 2012 as the super all-World TE everybody expected. Still, he could be great as we've obviously seen, but at this point like all suspensions ASJ can't be counted on. As for the three incoming freshmen, recruiting hype from media and insider experts doesn't ever seem to score many points......... but there's always hope and I'm everready to be surprised.
Whatever potential Husky Football has at the offensive skill positions in 2013, be it for passing or running the football, it's likely to remain somewhat stymied if substantial improvement in the interior offensive line, tackle to tackle, doesn't show up starting with the very first possession in newly renovated Husky Stadium. Funny how that works in football, but most of the Huskies' offensive shortcomings last season can be traced directly to the OL performances which far too often were simply pathetic against competitive defenses. Not controlling or at least holding their own in the trenches renders just about everything else in Sark's game to be less than we should expect. -
Oh nice, Tailgater is here with his knowledgeable and always accurate insights. I can't wait for Section14A, Davef, and the rest of the gang to start posting here as well!

If Section14a Fucking Stupid ever decides to join and start posting, he's going to quit on the motherfucking spot.
