    Yes the generational QB got rid of the ball fast and to the right spot

    That's what I said

    He had a very clean pocket. It wasn’t just getting rid of the ball quick. A lot of throws were 15 yards plus.

    That said our short yardage game was abysmal. Fire huff if you must.
    Solid point on the pass protection. The coaches and players are using the formations and shifts to throw off the pass rush and have guys running wide open. That's what good coaching looks like

    One goal line stand happens and when the DAWGS turned failure into 9 points all is forgiven

    To have it happen again is concerning. Then the D once again bails them out with an interception and they STILL can't get in

    Then they can't run the ball in the 4th quarter to put it away

    Good but we? want great. Plenty of room to improve there

    And I must fire Huff
    There’s no doubt this is the single most glaring issue on O. We need to be able to salt games away with a run game and our run game even in non-short yardage situations leaves a lot to be desired. Some of it is definitely a talent in the RB room issue. But we can’t run against light boxes with any predictable consistency, far too many plays getting gummed up at the point of attack where we have a numbers advantage or are neutral.

    Love the pass protection, but UW is now one of those soft offenses that can’t get a yard on the ground when it has to.

    DeBoner needs to figure that out.

    And Huff still sucks.

    You can't really coach this into guys. It's about leverage. As a shorter guy that wrestled I love tall lanky guys because of the high center of gravity ..I can get underneath pretty easily. Huff is going to recruit the right bodies. Tall at the Tackles and shorter and stumpy at the Guard.

    Goal line running isn't creative and we're probably using the wrong rb's for it.

    Prison acapella groups really are the best.

    I mean, there were the 397 passing yards and zero sacks—against the nation’s sack leaders. But go on.

    The line of scrimmage moving backwards a foot won't change with a different RB in

    Gosh it's almost like the passing was addressed and isn't the problem

    The cult of Huff is bizarre

    Ignore getting stuffed 3 times and being unable to run the clock but go on

    When it costs games don't cry to me



    I saw a lot of role outs and moving the pocket to help the o-line not give up sacks.

    I was pretty drunk though trying to deal with the fear of inevitably blowing the lead.

    As I was texting to somebody during the game, if we can't run straight ahead (and we knew we couldn't against good defenses after the Kent State game), why play into the opponent's hands by lining up in the goal line offense? Why not spread things out at the goal line? Don't paint yourself into a corner.
    Exactly. I don't know what they're seeing on film.

    Or I think it was Greg Lewis suggesting at least trying wildcat with Newton/Taulapapa. It's a better idea than sneaking it with Penix.

    The first time was an attempt to prove how tuff they were with 4 runs. Didn't mind

    However after proving they still can't get a yard the next two goal line failures were bad

    If you need to run your all out deep passing attack to burn clock you might have a problem

    But no sacks

    3-0.

    The run game needs improvement. I don't see the fuckups and vulnerability on delayed blitzes.

    #1 offense so far. No sacks, no pressures. Progress with an unblemished record. Michigan State has some dudes on their interior. Opponents down 3 td's expect run.

    Would have liked to see Dick Newton on the goal line. Talapapa is a JAG. LIPO...i know it's hard

    Improvement is needed but I also feel like it's coming but for one thing...a quality RB ain't walking through that door. These guys leave a lot of yards out there. Talapapa left two touchdowns out there that Davis, I think, would've punched in. He is a good receiver but horrible ball carrier. I think he may.be the worst I've seen at UW since the Ty days. He has no burst, no top end, and no power. His cuts aren't sharp. I don't see a legit FBS ball carrier there at all.

    Not that Davis is good. It takes him forever to get upfield and he gets tripped by anyone within 10' of him when he does turn up.

    I'm not a fan, and he has his own issuea unless they're gone now but I'm ready to see Dick Newt.

    Is Javeon Sunday still there? What about him? Sam Adams?
