Those were Cristalballs' recruits though. Wait til Tosh and Martin will get their guys in there. -

Look I think Oregon belongs on the list but Husky fans are well aware of where danger lurks. Like ASU last year. And UCLA any year -
This is a pretty big swing of a take. I'm sure unkie Phil is assblasting Lanning and co all offseason about losing last year and will be for the two full weeks leading up. I'd take the Huskies. Will be shocked if it is easy.JoeEDangerously said:Every wanna be journalist…

They aren't a power 5 football program.
I would also say that OSU shouldn't be a hard game. Jimmy had them against the ropes and they lost their secondary who made it somewhat hard for Penix last year.
Oregon, SC, ASU in no order imo. Still think Utah is headed for a massive downturn this year. -
At USC
Big gap
Oregon
Small gap
At OSU -
Last year at Oregon was a coin flip game. Who did they lose that will make that game easier?
-
Home game this year, UO lost their OC (not sure if that's a big deal or not), and 2/3 of their 2022 class portal'd out. I think UW wins by 10+.1to392831weretaken said:Last year at Oregon was a coin flip game. Who did they lose that will make that game easier?
I'm more concerned that USC puts 60 up on us? in LA. -
Trooj comment is fair and yes, they probably gonna drop 60 on us?.BleachedAnusDawg said:

however, we? probably drop 60 as well on grinch’s defense. -

Michigan State is not going to be a cakewalk like everyone here seems to think

If you struggle with MSU you’re in for a disappointing season. That program is coming apart at the seams.DerekJohnson said:Michigan State is not going to be a cakewalk like everyone here seems to think
They may hang with UW for a half just based on the early season crowd. But in the end if UW doesn’t win by double digits I’d be surprised -
2/3 of the 2022 class portal’d out? Lmao. Cmon dude, you’re smarter than this normally.BleachedAnusDawg said:

If I had to guess I'd say UW wins by 10-14. But its on the road against a team that will be hungry for revenge.ntxduck said:

1. OC - Don't know if it matters. Every coach seems to have a thing where they aren't good before or after they are in Eugene but good in Eugene.
2. 4/5 3-year OL starters - Shouldn't matter in pass pro with Nix' mobility but they might not be able to lean on the run game the way they did last year.
3. First round CB - If their pass defense was that bad with a first rounder at corner how bad could it be if they can't get other guys to step up next year.
I see a game very similar to last year. The sneaky X factor to me is how much easier it should be for Washington to audible at the LOS in Husky Stadium compared to Autzen.
UW's only real loss is the interior of the OL, which isn't super important in their scheme. -
Seems fair to me. My gut tells me we could have a game like the 2017 Rutgers game.DerekJohnson said:

Your year is wrong. The 2022 class only lost a handful of guys, most of whom signed on early signing day as Mario’s recruits (see; SMells).BleachedAnusDawg said:

I think the OL will be fine. Oregon got 2 of the top transfer portal OL to fill the gaps. OC will be fine—dilly was vastly overrated by quooks and the guy who replaces him had a better offense with a running back playing QB.WoolleyDoog said:

UW's only real loss is the interior of the OL, which isn't super important in their scheme.
Your third point is a huge concern. As is linebacker—Oregons very thin there and 2 injuries away from being a full blown disaster in the spot. The biggest concern is going to be tosh, again. Easily the worst coach on the team (maybe the conference?). Hopefully lanning will take a more active role in game planning and calling plays this year on defense. If he doesn’t, Oregon is going to drop 2-3 more close, high scoring games where they cannot get off the field on defense. -
Tosh on that staff is a real head scratcher. They didn't need him to recruit and he has nothing impressive on his track record as a position coach or DC other than as a recruiter.ntxduck said:
