    Holy shit, keep it in your pants. The Sqwad looks great, but hasn't done anything yet. Let's see them beat a decent team on the road before declaring 11-1 a failure.

    I'll be happy if they can beat Arizona without giving me heartburn.
    I'm talking about the specific players. Could be lots of Jake Browning's holding clip boards don't twist

    Only a small handful of coordinators could properly shut down the air raid, and that was an offense predicated on short, easy routes that any retard with an ounce of accuracy could operate in.

    Conversely, there is no realistic formula for stopping this iteration of Grubb's offense. You need exceptional defensive talent at all three levels, a coaching staff in the 95th percentile of defensive acumen, and a good deal of luck in hoping for an off day from Penix or a rash of catastrophic injuries.

    Coaches like Sirmon, Wilcox, and Kwat all seemed to fit criteria #2 and found a workable blueprint, but none of them, not even Texas, had the horses to actually win the game.

    You need the cal game plan with a competent offense. It can be done if penix has a below average day and you put up 30 something on our d.

    It shortens the game and accelerates the value of each possession. I would be surprised if any team makes it through the conference undefeated. Too many good teams where you have to play at a high level most weeks.

    The big edge for UW is no Ucla and ASU at home. Maybe someday DeBoer eliminates the jinx games

    I agree one loss. At Oregon State or USC


    Maybe

    This.

    The stacking of 3 straight tuff games and 3 out of 4 on the road are what's concerning.
    At Furd, At USC, home Utah At tOSU is the stretch.

    Also if we make the P12 champ game vs USC, USC will be coming off a bye while we will be on a short week.

    Anyway, getting ahead of ourselves but would have been nice if the 4 easier conf games (AZ and San Fran schools) were more mixed in. Hopefully other teams also have that issue.

    This team is good enough to beat everyone on the schedule, will probably drop a conference game, and 11-1 should be the floor.

    It's not enough to beat Arizona on the road. We must beat Arizona on the road without giving @fouchpotato heartburn.
    If this team curb stomps Cal and Arizona, hang the natty banner
