How can Mr. Run The Damn Ball have a team come out so flat two weeks in a row?

They are who we thought they are aka bad

NO CHOCOLATE MILK!

We are soft! We haven't looked good in any of our wins, other than Arizona.
-
They are just not good at stopping the run. Not particularly good at running it either. On offense I think it has more to do with scheme and predictability.
Anyways if you are bad at both of those things you are not good. -
Stanford is not going to turn the ball over three times in the second half. And that is the only way we can win the game.

Coaches have to have a ton of belief in themselves and their system. IMO sometimes it is easier for us to see that changes need to be made than for the coaches to see/admit it..
If you insist on a bend don't break wait for mistakes defense against a power running and efficient passing team that rarely makes mistakes, you have to take them out of their game. An explosive UW offense (sorry Baze) would put pressure on the Tree to pass and score/risk more. NOT running into the teeth of the defense in stubborn fashion when all five OL are new or in new positions.
Add in the high amount of losses on the DL to draft/injury, and suddenly the problems at LB become glaring. Basically this is a very talented, flawed team with a few major holes that will keep them from being elite. Unfortunately stubborn coaches appears to be one of them. Eh, but I'm probably wrong; what do I know.
TL;dr - UW vs Tree is The Definition Of Insanity, basically... -
If Pete was still the coach, we'd be sitting here right now blaming the lack of fight on Pete's constipated personality. But Lake's forte is supposed to be swagger and fire.NoWarningJustDawg said:Coaches have to have a ton of belief in themselves and their system.

It’s been since 2015 since Uw was dominated like this. I think jimmy wants this team to be something it’s not. Scheme matters.DerekJohnson said:

Getting testosterone filled young men to play hard once a week is hard.

Not sure but the lack of preparation this week is embarrassing. We had a huge game prep advantage. Stanford was living out of a hotel. Practicing at garages and parks in Bellevue. Jimmy hasn't even had to go on the road yet.
