4th down conversions
Also noteworthy, UW is in the top 5 in 4th down conversion rate.
If the Ducks get stopped on an 4th down early in the game this Friday, it will be a huge psychological blow. Lanning will go full Coke Boy.

I should add that Washington is 21st in 4th down DEFENSE, stopping conversions roughly 60% of the time.
Oregon isn't in the top 50.
UW makes stops when it matters. It's perplexing and scares the hell out of me.

I think you're on the right track. I'm worried about Oregon because their team looks fantastic and they've bulldozed all of their league competition.
If I'm a duck fan, I'm worried about UW because there is some logic-defying voodoo at play that can't be explained by anything observable. And you're playing the most talented QB in college football. And while he might be irreparably broken at this point, he also might be entirely capable of pulling his head out of his ass and catching fire again. -
I’ve sold myself on Penix being much better in warm weather. May not have been the case so much last year, but his best games this year have come with room temps.
Probably a dumbass theory, but I’m sticking to it.
He will look much better Friday. -

I wonder how many fat uw lesbos are getting sacrificed for this season. It is insane how this defense looks like shit 81% time, but when they need to pull out a winning play they just do.GreenRiverGatorz said:I think you're on the right track.

This captures my thoughts well. I think Oregon is better, but UW owns them (us?) mentally right now. We make mistakes v UW (missed reads on 4th, fumbling on the 1 yard line last year) that we don’t make against anyone else. UW’s D clutch gene has something to do with it, but at this point it’s also mentalGreenRiverGatorz said:I think you're on the right track.

I'm not sure. Kinda seems like stating the obvious.SkipBoyd said:

Rooted in substance abuse?

Thought about this and mentioned it on the pod but unfortunately he was prolific last year in Pullman when it was colder than they ever played this year and in Eugene when it was I think in the 40s.TheHB said:I’ve sold myself on Penix being much better in warm weather.
