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

The play calling today was fucking terrible

And has been all season long, IMO

Too many first down throws, too many screens, not enough QB runs/option looks.

Put fucking Miles and Lindquist in at the same time and run some crazy shit, I really don't care.

    Nothing says great play calling like 2nd and 9.

    I think we all learned miles isn't much of a pocket passer....he was totally lost in the 4th....he needs to huddle up...the no huddle isn't his speed...

    Bubble screen can be a real bitch. ;)

    Can't throw short, can't throw deep, can't run outside, can't run inside. I get it though, smith is supposed to work some sort of magic

    We really need to have more designed runs with Miles. I have no fucking idea why they didn't call many of those to keep the defense off balance. If Miles gets hurt but some other 4 star in

    2nd half had too many incomplete passes on first down, one yard gain on second down and then hoping Miley converts a 3rd and 9. Although when we ran on both first and 2nd down it was still 3rd and 7. Way too many 3rd and longs though, which is exactly what this offense can't let happen.

    You hit them hard and you run.

    You hit them hard and you run.

    Even if you go 3 and out, you start to wear down the other team.

    It's not 19tickety2 anymore. 3 yards and a cloud of dust doesn't work. If you think you're going to wear out these guys, that play no huddle teams all year long with 3 and outs, you are mistaken.

    That's why Washington looks good on defense against Stanford and have a win against Shaw. And why we thought UW should win today despite being outmanned

    I think his point was that you need to run the ball more. Less incomplete on 1st and 10. Everyone and their two dads knew that UW was going to run on 2nd and 10. Get 3 yards on 1st, 3 yards on 2nd, and you're looking at a lot more manageable of a 3rd down than 3rd and fucking 9.
