    It's beautiful. There is however one major thing left for them to work on. From Bill Connelly's piece on flaws in playoff contenders:

    Washington
    Record (Week 4 result): 4-0 (defeated Stanford, 40-22)

    Rankings: 18th in AP, 24th in SP+, 18th in FPI

    Current odds of reaching CFP: 3.8%

    Fatal flaw: Getting the defense off the field. Washington's rebound has been immediate and comprehensive. A year after collapsing to 4-8, Kalen DeBoer's Huskies have already matched last year's win total, moving to 4-0 with Saturday night's comfortable win over Stanford. They sacked Cardinal quarterback Tanner McKee eight times in just 34 pass attempts, eased out to a 30-7 third-quarter lead and cruised.

    Only two of those sacks came on third or fourth down, however, downs in which Stanford averaged 5.4 yards per play with a decent (all things considered) 43% success rate. For the season, Washington ranks 91st in success rate allowed on third-and-long and 79th on third-and-medium. The Huskies are forcing opponents behind the chains, then letting them off the hook. Upcoming road games against UCLA and Oregon could end unhappily if the Huskies' defense remains that accommodating.

    The problem with being a stats junkie is you think our fatal flaw is our pass rush and not our secondary

    It's been fucking maddening, and I still don't trust our defense.

    But still, our success this year is based on boat racing teams.
    It's constant flashbacks of Trace McSorely converting 3rd down after 3rd down against us. It started with Kent State and hasn't really stopped since.

    The good news is that this is presumably an easy fix. Morrell/Inge just need to repair whatever this schematic deficiency is.

    Our secondary sucks at covering during a scramble. It’s hard to do regardless, they are just worse than most at it.

    The hope is things improve as more DBs get healthy. The good news is that the ones who have been playing are getting good experience during wins, not losses so far.

    But if the pass rush doesn’t continue to play like it did last week, teams like Ucla with shifty QBs (I like to say shifty when referring to QBs who can run and throw), will kick UW’s asses.

    You’ll get no complaints from me about the offense. That pass D though … *shudder*

    8 sacks
    How many of those sacks ended a series though? Too many seemd to happen only for Stanford to make a 3rd and long play after.

    Bill must lurk here.

    Of course it's the secondary. But it's much more likely we start getting pressure on third downs then it is that the secondary suddenly becomes a strength.

    Mostly concerned about playing teams that either

    1. Throw the ball a lot and get it out quickly (USC)
    2. Have a mobile quarterback capable of breaking the pocket and scrambling (USC & UCLA)

    Lucky for us we? miss USC this year. UCLA will be another milquetoast measuring stick to continue to develop against.

    I've been watching their games. Offense is legit. Defense is meh but has enough talent that guys make plays and get turnovers.

    UW defense is not setup for 4/5 wides and a mobile qb all game with the current depth at dbacks.

    The secondary not getting better is what makes it the fatal flaw. If the pass rush improves, it's not a fatal flaw
