Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Hugh says Grubb was out coached by the coug D

On Chucky & Bucky Huch said the cougs were a step ahead on the UW offense all day. Similar to the ASU approach. On the grounding penalty Penix had McMillan on a three yard slant and didn’t give him ball and it was a TD.

As this board has been saying for weeks chucking deep to the sidelines is gonna make your life very difficult.

    Except for the crucial drive at the end where we caught them flat footed then kicked a FG for the win. Cougs gonna coug.

    Everyone knows Hugh doesn’t always get it right. He does himself a sluggo route.

    But you can't see what Hugh sees. He's looking at the all-22, and he will remind you of that.

    Is Hugh still mad that UW's prior coaching staff didn't think his kid was a P5 caliber QB?

    BTW, anybody catch Grubb's comment in the presser that WSU had some of our play call signals in the game?

    In the first half, so the offense was more effective when they knew what was coming.

    For as much as people railed on Dickert for being a pussy, Grubb did his best impersonation today.

    Grubb's biggest weakness is that his default is to whore himself out to the explosive ...

    It's not that he can't be patient (there have been instances this year where that was clearly the approach) ... but it usually isn't something he pivots to very well in the middle of a game.

    he is counting his bank account

    I don't know why he'd be mad. That staff sucked at quarterbacks.

    No surprise. Everybody hates Kale.

    No, what exactly did Grubb say?

    UW OC Ryan Grubb says "I know Washington State had gotten some of our calls and signals." They figured that out during the game, he added. Said he doesn't have a problem with it, but they'll make adjustments this week.

    Theory: spending too much time plotting next summer’s family vacation murder instead of sleeping in his office.

    Ever since the Oregon game, it seems like Grubb has been trying to win the Heisman

    Well, hopefully he'll realize that ship sailed and get back to trying to win games in whatever way is most effective.

    Penix's strike point in the first 6 games was unbelievable. Do you really think it's playcalling? The back shoulder pass to Odunze in one-on-on is 100% if the strike point is right. It just seems like Penix hasn't been as accurate.

    It’s pain tolerance impacting his accuracy.

    These guys have huge egos, got to where they are by never backing down, and have had success. Every play they call is a touchdown, in their minds. We have seen it up close, Leach, Chip, Shaw on the reverse end of it. Shaw didn't care if you stacked the box. Leach didn't care if you dropped 8. Chip is Chip, stop us, or don't. An elite, well-rounded OC (or play caller) needs to plan for every scenario. At this point of the season, you've gotta have a counter punch, or you get knocked out...

    "We" have been clamoring for weeks (months?) for more TE, DJ out of the backfield, McMillan (or someone) on the crossers underneath...The time is NOW, the place is HERE...(Well, we're waiting gif)

    The antidote to this offense is DBs that can play man, and a D-line that can hold LOS. That is where the "healthy" Penix being able to shoot lasers into widows is the separator. How many "elite" defenses are out there?. Unfortunately, they are all potential opponents moving forward...

    If I'm defending it, I am taking Rome out of it, to the best of my ability, and make the other guysm beat me...

    Yep, if the Ducks run as much man defense as others are saying (I'm too lazy to look it up), they should bracket Rome or at least roll coverage towards him. On certain plays, they may even want to bracket McMillan too (I expect him to be fully healthy in mind / body). I'd even rush 3 at times to use 2 guys on Rome and 2 guys on McMillan, and then have the other 4 cover Polk, Westover, DJ, and whoever else is the other receiver (Bernard or Culp).

    Polk has had the dropsies and Culp is prone to them so hurt me gong to them before I have to change it up.

    In a way, it's the same thing with Oregon and Tony Franklin (except I'd rather have Rome than Franklin).
