Is ISHIT eligible in 2/21?

The game was already over when Scarborough converted a third and 10 near the goal line, followed by the TD run a few plays later. I don’t think it had much to do with Victor. The long TD happened after Gaines hit him in the backfield, McIntosh whiffs and Bierria ran himself out of the play thinking McIntosh would make the tackle (he should have).HoustonHusky said:
Overall agree but we really missed Victor for that game...he was the only LB we had with legit size...Scarborough averaged something like 10 yards a carry running basically up the middle because we didn’t have another LB that could handle him...if our DL didn’t tackle him he carried a LB on his back until one of the safeties got there to tackle him.. Remember there being a 3rd and long play in the 2nd half Scarborough blew up our LB for a long run and thinking there was no way that would have happened with Victor. We were fortunate they kept running dumb misdirection plays instead of just running it up the middle over and over.1to392831weretaken said:
Your point is overall correct, but one detail deserves correction: For starters, 2016 was BBK's worst season, IMO, because that was the year he got too big too fast and lost his speed (can we abbreviate that into a new verb moving forward? I nominate "FSPing it"). So he was up closer to 215 that year. Moot point, though, because it was Beavers who came in for Victor in 2016, and, although he was no Victor (count on one hand guys who were 2016 Victor in Husky history), he balled the fuck out that season in reserve. Really pleasant surprise. My recollection of the Bama game was that there was maybe a play or two that Victor would have made that Beavers didn't. It wasn't a huge gap. Your point stands, though: Having Victor AND Beavers playing like that behind him is how you win big games like that.HoustonHusky said:
Roster was good but it was the depth. Not having Mathis and pre-injury Victor killed us on D...BBK was the replacement at 200lbs at the time and got run over consistently because of it. On offense you had to start a 260 lb true freshman RG because you didn’t have anything else and that caused a ton of problems.Doogles said:
I was thinking about the Bama game roster the other day and in retrospect it was pretty fucking loaded.RoadDawg55 said:
We aren’t David. We put tons of guys in the NFL. When we were David, we went 12-2 and played Bama. We got worse as we got more Goliath’s (mostly overrated, low 4 star recruits). If you expect UW to out recruit Ohio State, you’re going to be forever disappointed.TurdBomber said:
Absolute proof and a reminder that 99 times out of a 100, Goliath Stomps David's ass. Peterson bet on David way too often.dnc said:
The big flaw in the level up logic of the 4star ratio automatically making us better was downplaying the actual talent of the 3star guys on the field that year.
The argument was something like “we’re this good with Sydney Jones and Kevin King, imagine what we can do with (insert 4 star recruits)”
Ballz was adamant we should never recruit guys like that moving forward because they weren’t “elite”. At a certain point, good is good.
The entire defense (outside of Psalm who honorably chose a professional rugby career) was drafted into the NFL.
Offense had 3 NFL receivers (including the fastest guy in NFL history), 2NFL TE, NFL RB, and at least 3 NFL lineman suited up.
Game was lost on the sidelines, just like all the big games were.
It was surprising at the tim, considering how dominant and intimidating Victor was, but Mathis turned out to be the far bigger loss from that defense, as there was just nobody behind him who was close to that level.
/President of BBK fan club (pre-haircut, of course)
And God bless Nick Harris for not letting that game ruin his career...that wasn’t fair to him to have him out there but they didn’t have anyone else.
The defense was fine other than that. Doogles is right. The offense did absolutely nothing after Ross fumbled. Saban was quoted as saying once they figured out what Uw was trying to do, it was pretty easy. Fuck that TD to Pettis was fun tho.
Nothing against Victor. He was a great player and probably even my favorite, but we didn’t really lose that much with him out. Beavers and BBK might not have been quite as good, but they were 90% as good. Beavers would have been good if it wasn’t for the injuries. -
Caple Q&A w/Jen via The Athletic https://theathletic.com/1744523/2020/04/13/washington-ad-jen-cohen-finances-everything-on-table-covid-19/
Excerpt:
There is, of course, much to discuss — primarily, what happens to UW and the rest of college football if COVID-19 restrictions impact the 2020 schedule? Consider that for the 2018-19 academic year, a report filed to the NCAA shows that UW athletics reported just shy of $134 million in operating revenue and football accounted for $84 million of it. More than half of that — a little more than $45 million — came from media rights and ticket sales. Remove any significant portion of those two revenue streams, and the department is really hurting. Remove those two revenue streams entirely — to say nothing of conference bowl distributions, concessions and the like — and the ramifications could be without precedent.
Does one of those models include the possibility of no football season at all?
We’ve done that scenario. We’re kind of still fine-tuning it. As you can imagine, running a college athletic department and not having football would be pretty devastating for us. It would be hard to find funding for the rest of our sports. Hopefully, that’s not where this ends up. There are obviously several months before football season starts. There could be creativity around college football, too. That’s my hope — we can continue to evaluate as we have more information. -
