He had to get his reads down, but once he did he was good

I thought Molden would be good, but he struggled almost every time he played until the middle of his sophomore year.

This. He did play early and got absolutely burned in a couple big moments that cost us games.RoadDawg55 said:I thought Molden would be good, but he struggled almost every time he played until the middle of his sophomore year.

I don't think you can say the defense in the last 4-5 years cost you guys games. Pete's offense is the culprit.bananasnblondes said:

In 2019 UW's O put up more points on Oregon than their prior 5 opponents combined -- our D lost that game.PandaOrangeChiknDuck said:

The offense put up 28 points in the first 32 minutes of the game. Then they scored 3 in the last 28. HTHMontlakeBridgeTroll said:

Which, as, I wrote, is more than the quack's prior 5 games combined.PandaOrangeChiknDuck said:

Yep, our defense lost us the 2017 Stanford game, the Penn State game, and the 2019 Oregon game. The offense wasnt great in any of those games but the defense was definitely not up to par. The Stanford game is relevant to the topic at hand.MontlakeBridgeTroll said:

You can’t score 3 points in the final 28 minutes and excuse the offense. Also, 31 points might have been a lot to give up by Oregon, it’s still not a great number in college football. 31 points is an average offensive outing. To beat any good team your offense needs to be better than average.MontlakeBridgeTroll said:

Dumb article.
In the DB room, the best players play. That was Miller. The staff brought along Molden at just the right pace, and now he’s a stalwart. -
No question that our offense needs work... but...PandaOrangeChiknDuck said:

None of this changes the fact that if our defense had played in that game at the level to which it is capable... we would have won. -
It was a collapse on both sides. Other than once in the 4th quarter, we didn’t stop Oregon tho. And they weren’t all really quick drives. They converted a lot of 3rd and 4th downs. You and the feeling they were getting every one before it even happened. That’s what I remember.PandaOrangeChiknDuck said:
