Seattle Times headline this morning was Huskies Throttle Beavers, as if it was total domination and a redemptive victory. While the defense was stupendous, that game never felt like something to celebrate. A win is win of course, and that's not to imply that it needed to be a 41-7 beatdown.

Only saw the second half, but this is exactly what I thought watching it. Defense pitches a shutdown, holds the opponents to EIGHT YARDS AND ZERO FIRST DOWNS in the second half, and you don't blow the other team out? And the other team is fucking Beavis!?
There's that old saying in construction, engineering, etc. that you get fast, cheap, good: pick two. The way the Huskies play this season is analogous to that old saying. You can have offense, but you can't have defense. You can have defense, but you can't have offense. You can have a first half, but you can't have a second half.
Putting a complete game together just seems impossible.
Honestly, the fucking wilddick on 3rd and 3 ruined the game for me more than even the pick-six, which was just a predictable play call, poor eye discipline by the quarterback (locked on), and good gamble by the nickel. I can handle players making mistakes as long as they're not "effort" mistakes. I can't handle stupid fucking sideline decisions.
Also, did we ever get a final ruling on the defensive holding on the field goal that didn't result in a first down. Did the PAC-12 Wefs invent a new thing, or can that really happen?

I fucking wanted a shut out. I would have accepted one more offensive TD, a successful two point conversion and no pick six.
Oh, fuck and I wish the 2019 Peyton Henry would have shown up instead of the 2018 version.
Really not that far away except for the usual horrible execution.
