    There was another hit on the idiot who didn’t call a fair catch on a punt and also one on an Oregon kickoff return where they got absolutely speared. UW was blowing them up.

    That being said UW also had quite a few fucking awful tackle attempts that caused Oregon to pick up like 10 extra yards.

    This defense is weird as fuck. They gave up 500 yards yesterday BUT were 3/3 on the absolute most critical plays of the game.

    Agree. Just my 0.02, in general they seem to be doing a good job getting in position to make a play but they miss way too many tackles. It's frustrating to watch. Really miss the Lambo and Kwat defenses. This team would be odds on favorites to win it all if they had one of those defenses.

    The UW defense always hits hard in the first half

    Fucking ASA laid out Bucky Irving at one point

    It's like they run out of juice after halftime

    The Purple Reign and Journey sing alongs put them to sleep
    Can we get some Man in the Box, Angry Chair, Lithium, Teen Spirit, Cochise etc??

    Lean in to the grunge.

    And where is Sir Mixalot?
    The Huskytron cameraman would have too much activity going from big butt to big butt and picking which to use.

    UW made Oregon work for everything the entire game minus one or two late drives after Grubb put the D on the spot. They forced a lot of third downs and then failed to get off the field. Got it done and it payed off when it counted though.

    Here’s where this defense is still mentally weak. Powell’s big hit set up 2nd and long, Duck gets maybe back to LOS setting up a 3rd and long. Crowd is into it and defense gives up the 1st and then gives a long drive.

    Did the same vs Zona.

    They got Elijah Jackson on Franklin not that play. No chance. Terrible matchup. Oregon did a great job of scheming to get Franklin with anyone other than Muhammad on him and UW Odunze with anyone but #5, who is their best DB.

    Agreed. Some poor tackling aside. Grubb wanted the knockout punch after Oregon turned it over on downs and instead went 3 and out - at least twice. Could have salted the game away but put Oregon right back in it and taking the lead too.
