Perspective on the PAC 12

PurpleJ

That's a fancy TL, DR way to say this conference sucks ass.

Only one team with a title in the last 25 years. DRECK!

Good shit Teq. But apparently having an understanding of the history of the sort makes one a Doog around here.

UW's lost 2 games this year by 8 points, one of the games in OT, both on the road, and all of a sudden the sky is falling?

Just doesn't make sense when you consider that this is a year that everybody with half of a brain knew would be a year with a really small margin for error.

With our issues and unknowns on D next year at DL/LB what will be our margin for error in 2019? Eason better be good as advertised, and we need at least two of the wr's from the last 2 classes to pop this year like Fuller.

I suspect that the offense will be far more dynamic next year ... Eason should be an upgrade at QB with his arm talent. Assuming Adams is back healthy next year, there's 4 returning starters on the OL. Sample is gone at TE but everybody else is back, Bryant will be back healthy, and Culp should be in a position to contribute. At WR everybody is back plus you throw in Osborne, Spiker, and potentially Bynum/Cook emerge. I think Ahmed has a bit of growth still needed at the RB position but you're going to get good reps out of McGrew and Pleasant at minimum. This will be a very strong offense.

On D, it's a case where we lose a lot of experience but potentially replace with more talent. We'll need guys that are redshirting this year to come in and make contributions. There's talent at the LB position but it will be young. Need growth out of the outside guys or some guys to sell some couches. The DBs will be fine.

Honestly, I think that there's a good chance that this team is as good and/or better than this year's team.

Is Adams back next year a high probability? That would be encouraging if he’s able to play next year. Last I heard, weeks ago, was that it could be career-ending.

Even if he is you have 4 returning starters with Hilbers
