"2013 Low point: The three-week run of Stanford, Oregon and Arizona State. Strong indeed is the team that can survive such a stretch. The Huskies weren't quite there."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"In a nutshell: One of the great coaches in college football has walked into an optimal situation. This isn't just in the long run, though it's easy to get caught up dreaming about what Petersen can achieve during the course of a half-decade in Seattle"

  • If we don't go 2-1 at home vs Furd, Asu and ucla I will be disappointed. 11-2 or 10-3

    He's obviously a good coach but he hasn't proved himself in the big leagues yet. You will likely beat ASU. UCLA, I wouldn't bet on it the way they owned you up and down the field last year. But Zumwalt is gone, so you might have a chance. And Stanford is a mountain you might not have the chops yet to climb.

    You didnt watch the UCLA game if that's what you think happened
  • Minus Sark we went toe to toe with ucla while sark himself motivated Jack. Now we upgraded coach and play at home. We seem to play Stanford better than anyone and we upgraded coach and now have a ST coach that will be good for 8.1 points alone.

    The o/u in wins for the regular season is 10.5 ...

    OBKFS needs to remember that Seven Win Steve beat Stanford at home 2 years ago and should have beat them last year ... there's no reason to be afraid of them.

    As for UCLA, better ball security in the first 5 minutes of the game combined with Price not getting hurt leads to a win on the road last year. November in Seattle doesn't historically treat teams from SoCal too well.

    It's been a while, but it looked like Myles Jack was ripping shit up while Zumwalt furnished the bookends on a convincing defeat.

    Almost beating Stanford 2 years ago and getting fucked over by our shitty kicker along with some bogus ref calls didn't get the ducks any love around these parts. If Stanford owned us in 2012 by winning by a field goal, they owned you in 2013, even though it was a close game decided by a few points. Keep the logic consistent.
