The defense is not dominating

The db room better have a hunger for competition. Outside of Jabar other guys will have opportunities to win a starting job. Plenty of items to correct on defense.
The o-line needs tweaking and they did some tinkering. Johnson didn’t look great but the defense got in the backfield quickly. The rb’s weren’t given much day light.
He looked lost in coverage and incapable of making a one-on-one tackle in space -
Banks didn't start? Shit, that guy played well. I assumed he was the starter, and I was going to grade the outside corners at an A, believe it or not. Outside of Penix and the receivers, I was shocked to see the outside corners as so solid. They were making plays on the ball, and even when they were beaten, they were tight enough to not allow YAC. You can't really ask for more than that. Nickels and safeties were giving up a lot of plays, and something about the scheme makes them susceptible to the screen game.
D-Line did alright at times and got pushed around at others. Ulofoshio had a nice sack, but he also gave up a TD to a stiff-arm/missed tackle and failed to cover the back out of the backfield for a huge gain (he eventually made the tackle something like 40 yards downfield). Good things continue to happen when Bruener is on the field, yet there's a force field between that guy and the starting lineup.
Is ZTF still on the team?... -
rewatching now and muhammed played well, he and banks played 10x better than anything we saw last year at any point

Yeah, he got worked on a few occasions.Geevis_and_Butthead said:

The offense doesn't need to score a TD every possession, so that's a good start. The biggest thing the defense can do is get some sacks and force a couple turnovers. They'll still give up some points.
If they're ahead on turnovers they're going to win because nobody is stopping Mighty Penix. -
We also need to stop looking at yards/game stats when it comes to the defense. They will look bad at times because the offense scores so fast that the game has a ton of possessions. Need to look at everything on a per drive basis.
Some of Petersen's defenses were a little overrated because we intentionally shortened games with fewer possessions. -
Basically, if UW holds opponents to around 28 points, they win. That applies to every opponent on the roster.
If they hold USC, Oregon, Utah, to 35, they win.
There is simply not a better or more talented passing offense in the country. And it's all on schedule. Not scrambling around making playground plays.
UW averaged 44 pts in P12 play last year and the only teams to hold them under 30 were Or. St. and Cal.
Defense is better this year and I think the offense is better too.

Did Powell play at all? Or ZTF? Or Tuputala?
In on 0 plays -
All I know is that one of those guys is keeping Heims seat warm while he gets his reads down. Enough said on that
