Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
The narrative that Lanning cost Oregon the game is wrong. UW was just better.

If Lanning punts with 2:00 left, UW probably loses. That doesn't mean Penix & Co. didn't take advantage to win.HairyBallsDawg said:
Pretty sure it was a figure of speech.DerekJohnson said:I haven't seen one single fan apologize for the win.
But many folks have said we only won because Lanning fucked up.
Including some posters here.
It's a loser narrative.
Only Grubb can stop UW and he would not have
Neither would Oregon -

Hopefully the two of you get a chance to watch the Huskies play this year
2 plays from the 50. 3 from the 20
Same reason Carroll went for it at midfield against Texas. Vince Young was going to score regardless -

If you are going to play the hypothetical that "Dan Lanning makes no coaching mistakes," don't you also have to assume that Grubb and KDB make no play calling mistakes? We had two ridiculous 3 and outs in the 3rd quarter that allowed O back in the game. If we score on that first drive and go up 18 points, you could argue that it almost certainly takes away Oregon's running game and forces Oregon to become one dimensional. If Oregon's game at that point relies on Bo Nix being an elite downfield passer, I'll take those odds 100% of the time.
Both teams made mistakes. UW won the game by being better than Oregon. -
Oregon abandoned the QB keepers and play action Nix run option because he would have taken hits and that they had zero chance if he wasn’t near 100%.
Oregon also had very little outside of the vertical passes to Franklin and Bucky runs. Intermediate passing game pretty non existent.
Dawgs knew what O was running in key moments and proved to be best team in those moments.
Has Grubb not tried to bury them on the back to back three and outs and mixed the run (which was working). I think they would have had a chance to score on one of the two possessions.
Dawgs stood up in the meaningful moments, had the better 3rd and 4th down offense and defense.
In a game where O had more yards and won the TO battle, Dawgs just a better team with winning mindset. Oh yeah and Penix is the GOAT. -

I could do another full podcast on this game because of all the things stated above. The narrative is we lucked out. Not that we were clutch when it mattered. Not that we played our C+ game and they played at minimum an A- game.
Media saying their team has the better roster too to bottom, yet can’t name anybody outside of the three players (Nix, Irving and Franklin) that make all their plays. UW line is better and I don’t think it’s close. Irving makes the plays for their fat unathletic line and they throw short quick passes so Nix doesn’t feel pressure.
Every one of their fourth downs is washed out by a Husky mistake. First one at the end of the half they got from an inexplicable pick that could be due to luck but since it’s Oregon it isn’t labeled that way. The second failed fourth down the Huskies squandered away possessions with two three and outs afterwards with questionable play calling. The last fourth down failure came from a Husky fourth down failure.
In short fuck that team and that bullshit fake ass program. -
Well we're shoulders deep in hypotheticals here. Oregon had all the momentum. Penix was in so much pain it altered Grubb's playcalling just moments earlier.RaceBannon said:

Could I see Penix suddenly leading a 90-yard TD drive with either one or no times outs? Sure, off course. It's Penix. But the odds were still in Oregon's favor. It was colossally reckless of Lanning to do what he did. Especially given their subsequent play call. -
He made two great throws. Only would have needed one more
