    Yeah that was the primary criticism of the team last night.

    If you're going to run 50+ times I expect at least one drive like the end of the 2018 apple cup.

    Would it kill us to run a toss sweep on occasion? Ale looked good pulling around the edge. I used to rub it out to the old Billy Joe, fake toss, pass up the seam to Bruener. I love a power running game as much as the next guy but JonDong needs to mix up how he attacks the LOS with his runs. Whatever. What do I know, I gotta get ready to stack some cans at 25% capacity come Tuesday! It's science!

    They ran two toss sweeps. CENTER held on one and got it called back.

    You could be right. We also played the wrong tailback the majority of the 4th quarter so who knows? The fact that we did it against the beavs tells me you are right though.

    Ale is getting there.

    Having and offense that doesn't confuse the fuck out of the OL is a good place to start. Let the big men eat, and I like Davis, Pleasant, and McGrew.

    We have the best talent in the Pac, so we should try to physically dominate with our talent. It starts at the OL.

    I keep hearing this.
    Look at it this way.

    We play Arizona, WSU, Stanford, and finish with Oregon.

    We are physically superior all those teams except maybe Oregon.

    You don't set the OL up for success when you line up in tight formations under center and have presented no vertical passing threat.

    To run the ball as well as they did with no way to make the Beavs pay for 8 in the box was impressive.

    Donovan has no clue how to maximize the talent at his disposal.

    I'm going to channel my inner Race and come back with agree on the first two sentences and big question mark on the third. It's always the head coach. The buck stops there.

    Donovan having no clue is an indictment on Jim Lake

    Was it every long/TD run that went over the left side or just almost all of them? I can't remember.
    Dude he lol'd. That means he's really sure and is mocking anyone who doesn't see it. You can't argue when they lol.

    You should consider self-immolation. Its for the good of the bored. And for the good of Husky Football.

    This is BTP we're talking about, I'm pretty sure typing "lol" is some form of tourette's that he can't help, so I didn't even see it!...

    1) High percentage of plays w 2 or 3 TEs
    2) Run first offense that is keeping the offense "on time"
    3) High rate of 3rd down conversions - especially when running
    4) Dominating TOP

    It's the HH offense people cried for -- one that plays to our proven strengths (RB, O-line, TE) and should help RB recruiting going forward.

    I'm looking for any reason to bash the OC but this gameplan all things considered was fine to me. Now if it's the same exact thing against UA...







    Thank you Doogstone. This is how I felt the last two days as I’ve been reading the boreds. No getting cute when you’re running it down the defense’s throat. No crazy formations with 17 shifts.

    OSU had a weakness and Lake kept at it. The drops by Bynum, Puka, Ty, and Rome would have been big conversions and two TDs. Suddenly Morris’ numbers look much better for his first game and throw in 267 on the ground for good measure.

    They had a game plan for OSU’s weakness on the line, the weather, and an inexperienced line and WB, and it worked. Lake says they plan for their offense to be able to execute multiple game plans, and we will see if that is true against Arizona. Let’s see if they are a multiple offense that adjusts to their opponent. Let’s see if Lake is all talk.

    Throughout camp WR spoke highly of the aggressive downfield passing with chances to make plays. I doubt they say that shit if all they do is block.
    Well, we ran all over Arizona last year and USC put up nearly 500 yards on them last week. So I would expect healthy doses of running. Then, presumably, a healthy portion of those "downfield strikes" we've heard so much about.
