    The way the players speak about Grubb is great. They fully believe he is a mastermind and I’m almost certain the offense will be great all year. They think he’s a genius and have bought in completely.

    Shepard is such an upgrade over Adams too. I don’t think those two will be coaching at UW for very long, which kind of sucks but means our offense is good.

    I’m not that worried about the running game. We play in the PAC 12 and while we are missing a stud RB (fun to think about), we have four RB’s and we won’t run between the guard and center in an 8 man box like that fucking imbecile John Donovan had us doing.

    A lot to let play out and all that matters is eventually accomplishing great things, but we have at minimum, a good coaching staff.

    The offensive line also appears to be miles beyond where it was last year. I don't think Huff suddenly learned how to coach, so it must be Grubb's influence.

    We haven't learned anything.

    No one is going to be shocked if UW has a bad day on offense.

    App State? Ugh, sure. I guess.

    WSU is exactly what has been expected. Good defense, absolutely shit offense. Good luck against SC, UW, Arizona, Utah, Beavlet at their shit hole. Shaking up to be a special #LimpDickert season.

    SC and UCLA only have doubters because people are fucking stupid and don't understand that in modern college football you just put up a bunch of points and get a random turnover. You don't need a defense that will impress the stat nerds anymore. Why I've been saying that Oregon and Utah will underwhelm to those two teams and UW after everything has played out.

    That may be right here, but if you want playoff and something more than conference bragging rights, D still counts.

    I’m not sure Powell will be a starter for much longer. This isn’t Jimmy or Pete. If guys don’t produce I imagine this staff will plug guys in until someone steps up. They won’t let just one guy get burnt all year. They’ll let many.

    The fact that DeBoer sent him straight to the bench after getting burnt and getting that PI call was a good sign.

    The CB room is an absolute mess and unfortunately, I think Juice Brown is one of our weaker position coaches. We heard all camp how good Davon Banks was gonna be and he looked completely lost. Perryman was incredibly disappointing. Irvin has looked the best but I don't trust him yet.

    That position is going to be our Achilles heel all year
    From DB U to this shit. What the fuck?

    What we actually learned:

    Oregon State and Arizona still won't threaten to do anything in this conference.

    De Laura was terrible last night. Wonder if they go to the freshman at some point
    De Laura was out at WSU way before they knew Ward was gonna transfer in, eh talent but an absolute cancer in the locker room, there’s a reason he didn’t travel with the team to the CMU Soaring Eagle Casino Bowl.
    4th q of the game last night you could see him whining while the freshman got a drive at the end.
    De Laura is done probably midway through 2nd Q against NDSU, he’s gonna get hit and will fold like the charmin soft fake poly that he is.
    Even worse, he did travel and he quit on the team at half of the sun bowl down 21-0 (after playing the first half)

    Simone from the group will get better and rose above but there is no doubt that we will be cussing and screaming at these CB’s at some point this year.

    Trice is a beast of a pass rusher and ZTF has it in him. Voi is a situational player that will make some plays too.
