ENTHUSIASTICALLY.
People forget that he also tried to throw an INT to a Utah DT right before our miraculous comeback against them in 2017. He's the only guy I've ever seen throw two picks trying to throw it out of bounds.
STILL...
... and this is the kind of insight you can only get onbowdowntowashington.comthe football board on HardcoreHusky...
look at the DISTRIBUTION OF TALENT.
What we've been saying the whole time is 'of course we are getting smashed by the teams with more talent'. We entered 'the ratio' (only fuckheads believe shit like this really means anything) this year.
BECAUSE OF OUR 18 and 19 CLASSES!
We will be a lot more talented this year, yes. And it's the reason why @WilburHooksHands says WASHINGTON 2.0 and I agree with that. That starts this year. And if we play Skinny and he doesn't play like a retard and defenses have to defend things beyond 20 yards, that will change a lot.
But just be cause we have THE RATIO (insert eye roll) doesn't mean we are all of a sudden going to beat good teams.
That talent is going to take at least another year to filter into the main people playing.
As I've always said - if half the players on your team (EQUALLY DISTRIBUTED THROUGH ALL CLASSES DUH) are blue chips, then Brian Clay starting is (weird, but) fine. Because he beat out good players. But when you have those guys starting because Andre Baccelia is beating out Jordan Chin, well then... that's a different issue and that's why we can beat up on Oregon State and get fucking flattened by Ohio State.
We are like the tupperware in Napoleon Dynamite. If some loser in a house (WSU in this analogy) tries to rip it apart he's not going to be able to do it, but when you put it under a van (Ohio State) it's going to explode.
However, if we do what we should in the next two classes, combining those with 18 and 19 which were our first REAL classes, then we will be actually elite and start beating teams.
I don't get why people don't understand this. It's not that complicated. We have a great coach. We have a bit of a beta problem, yes, but we also have beta players.
Once we get a coach like Pete with talent like we have now at DB throughout the roster, all of a sudden, as if by magic, we will start being competitive with teams like Ohio State.
This year is kind of interesting because like 1990, we have some real talent, but it's young. However, maybe Skinny lives up to what he should be and we get a Cam Newton-esque performance out of him and he makes the difference between 10 and 14 wins like Cam and Jameis did.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO REPLACE FEENEY AND LITTLETON?!?!?
If WE (Petersen) need the same amount of talent out of high school as schools like Georgia, UT, Ohio state, Penn St, LSU, FSU, Bama, Michigan, or Oklahoma to beat them, then WE are never going to beat them.
Petersen has had enough talent on his teams here to get at least one surprise, big win, upset that defined his time at the much less “talented” Boise.
The defense has regularly set the table for Pete and he still fucked it up by fielding some of the worst offenses AND special teams in the country.
The fact that he hasn’t won once against a big name team or when the pressure was on should worry people at least a little bit.
At this point Petersen could still just be the other side of the same Bellotti coin. Another 10-3 year without a meaningful win is a step back. -
He’s got until we know what Huard is for me. Or until we dont beat Oregon by 30 this year for going dirty on us.Houhusky said:

I liken Pete to a basketball coach like Tony Bennett or Jay Wright. We exit the tournament too early and the fans are getting restless. He’ll break thru. The losses are frustrating but he’s not going to lose those games forever.Houhusky said:

Here is that same chart but with CFP teams circled (Oregon and Michigan St. are missing from this data set).DoogCourics said:Bud Elliot:
Entering 2019, 16 teams meet the Blue-Chip Ratio mark.
Ohio State 81%
Alabama 80%
Georgia 79%
LSU 64%
Florida State 61%
Clemson 60%
USC 60%
Penn State 60%
Michigan 60%
Texas 60%
Oklahoma 60%
Auburn 58%
Washington 54%
Notre Dame 54%
Florida 53%
Miami 51%
None of these teams is a surprise.
If you were asked to name the top 20 programs in college football, you would have most or all of these teams on the list. And every team on this list has won a title in the last 40 years.
The SEC has the most BCR teams (five), followed by the ACC and Big Ten (three each), Big 12 (two), and Pac-12 (two). Notre Dame also made it. Due to the number of teams meeting the threshold this year, this looks much more balanced between the conferences than previous seasons.”
“Washington, Florida, and Miami are new to the Blue-Chip Ratio club this year.
And each team arrived in a slightly different way.
Chris Petersen has slowly built Washington from a 22% BCR in 2014 to 23, 26, 30, 40, and finally 54 this year.
Florida was last a member of the club in 2014, dropped out for four seasons, and is back thanks to a strong 2019 class.
Miami’s 2019 class was not great by any measure, but having the destitute 2015 class drop off is enough to boost the Hurricanes’ four-year average over the mark.”
“Here are the biggest risers and fallers in the Ratio since 2018:
Up: Washington (14%), Florida (11%), Georgia (10%), Oklahoma (7%), Penn State (7%)
Petersen’s Huskies are this year’s best example of how winning games can turn into better recruits.
Down: UCLA (-13%), USC (-11%), Florida State (-6%)“
Look at the beautiful @PurpleThrobber growing bigger and bigger each year!
Not much to take away from this analysis. I'm not sure why I did it. -
