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

Elite O Line - Winning

Lost in the shuffle is how well our O Line is playing. Elite at this point, easily top 3 in all of CFB.

Due to this factor we should be able to beat Texas similar to Oregon, and control the game.

    I trust Tybo to block them. I can picture it in my head now. I hope he’s healthy.

    Kalepo and Buelow have really grown the fuck up. They're both monstrous but look athletic as fuck. I remember thinking they were a couple of giant butterballs.
    Thank god they can handle the bag well

    The offensive line went through ups and downs in 2022 similar to this year. Also similar to this year is that, by the end, they were damn good. The running game that was piss poor early carried a big load in late games both seasons.

    It was touch and go at certain points for the OL this season. But that was a skullfucking Magnus Opus on Friday that was extremely enjoyable to watch. Had a buddy that is a football fan but no ties to Husky football text me on Friday night: “time to get more NIL for those OL!” I couldn’t agree more. Still fired up about what I saw up front.

    The Dawgs Oline is great, I was just saying it’s great that we have DJ picking up the blitz too.

    To be fair they were at first.

    It ain’t his health. Better close with Jason Brown Jr.

    I noted in October that Buelows injury was big. The stretch beginning against ASU where they blitzed the 0 gap was highly disruptive. We? had no answer. The OL started clicking again once he got back. Losing Mele at the start was a big loss for depth; that showed up when Buelow went down.

    Less than 750 lbs is a large range.

    Texas has 2 really great DTs, their edges are prime Kwat JAGs.

    Yep. I didn't really give it much thought at the time as I've been underrating Buelow by a lot.

    Early in the Oregon broadcast I thought I heard one of the announcers say “Oregon’s talented defensive line really likes this matchup.” What’s there to like? It’s the best o-line they saw all year.

    Kwat had Vita, Gaines and Levi and Stanfords third string offensive line pushed their shit in. I think this UW team can figure out a way to move the ball.

    Didn’t Kwat have 3-4 seasons with the best defense in the Pac? I don’t think he’s Buddy Ryan or anything but he’s the best D-coordinator we?ve had this century.

    With Lake coaching the secondary, yeah.

    Nah. Morrell is better

    Undefeated

    Kwat losses us multiple games this year

    Not as good on paper. Ten times better in high pressure, must get off the field situations

    I kinda agree with this but I see a lot of “DeBoner hired two weak position coaches instead of a good DC” on this board. It worms into my brain—the way the old man used to fall asleep to cable news and wake up with a bunch of hot takes the next day.

    The narrative in my head all season is Morrell and Inge are mediocre and we should have better.

    But can’t argue with 13-0.
