Oregon only scored 13 less against USC than Cal did.

    What's stupid about this comment is that there are only so many possessions in a game for a team to get scores. If Cal has a crazy good game and scores on 7 or 8 of 9 possessions, how is that UW's problem when we still scored more?

    Drub vs survive. Our d sucks but we pulled away.


    This is all meaningless anyways because a rematch will decide everything, but yes, there is a very big difference in a game that was tied in the 4th quarter vs one where a team was up 22 and took their foot off the gas and got Backdoor covered. You’re looking for slights where there are none.

    Yes but they won by 9, not 22. Come on.

    Furthermore udub didn’t survive. They survived two shit teams. They pulled away here.

    Cool. I just explained why the framing is different. One game was never in doubt after the first drive of the 2h. The other game was well into the 4th q.

    Michigan won by 9 yesterday. Must have been a real close game!

    Oregon didn’t drub anyone. When you take your foot off the gas, you didn’t drub. HTH.
  • Maybe the narrative difference is due to only allowing 14 per half?

    I wish they had finished strong, too. Hate that prevent shit.

    Helpful note though—sports writers are also incredibly lazy/efficient. In a 20+ point game in the 4th q, they have their story written and edited by the 6:00 mark. They’ll throw in an extra graf somewhere if the game tightens up, but the story is already written so that they can get back to the buffet as fast as possible
    No doubt. Dawgs leading the country in “glad we got that one out of the way” with FSU close behind. Football seasons are weird and the narratives absolutely don’t matter, so we agree there.

    Husky frustration has to be mainly rooted in 17 games straight, winners win, EXCEPT: (insert list of reasons people have used to downplay it).

    At some point we just want to get jerked off a little bit.

    What’s funny is that ESPN still has us ahead of Oregon in their power rankings after this past Saturday

    If we're going to play the semantics game,Oregin's first two TDs and 150+ of Nix's passing yards came on a dump off pass and a routine 10 yard pass over the middle that ended up going for 70 and 80 yard TDs because SCs d was so woefully out of position.

    Yeah but still, I prefer my unreasonable narrative

    Not sure a back shoulder fade 25+ yards down the field counts as a “dump off” but what do I know.

    Someone must have had a long night of inserting Penix’s

    Which of the first 2 touchdowns would you describe as a dump off pass?

    1. The back shoulder fade caught 25 yards downfield
    2. The skinny post caught 14 yards downfield

    Thx

    No they were both screens behind the LOS, didn’t you watch the game?

    Lanning is pretty much guaranteed to leave Eugene for TAMU.

    Stepping stone school down at UC-Eugene will fire up the coaching carousel again.
