    If we? lose because of a fatass nose tackle shut it down.

    Sweat is far from just a fat ass. Dude can move. He'll spend most of the game taking on double teams so that others can work. But, given the opportunity, he'll flash some impressive pass rushing skills given his size. His primary problem in previous seasons was he would tire out quickly. He made a jump this year with his motor, but we also substitute liberally on the dline. Teams that run the hurry up can get some real offensive momentum as a result if they can keep moving and prevent our subs. Washington doesn't appear to play that way, but I'm sure it is something y'all will try after watching our film.
    we will just run right at him lol
    Please do.

    Love the premise that Texas got better over the past year and UW I guess stood still.

    I never said that. I'm sure Washington did, but by nature of being a better team last season, it didn't have as far to improve as Texas did. Also, statistically, it is easier to find the improvement in Texas. By many metrics y'all look the same or even slightly worse. I'd have to be more familiar with your team and probably have to examine the advanced metrics more closely to know where the improvement occurred. I figure y'all are in a better position to do that than me.
    Looks like this guy is here just to beat his chest.
    I don't understand. Does referencing objective data constitute chest beating? I'm sure on an opponent adjusted basis, y'all have improved statistically. I just don't have that information in front of me. I've already said that y'all could blow us out. I'm not here acting cocky or anything.

    The offensive passing game has been a little inconsistent compared to last year and I think less sacks but everything else has gotten better specifically the pass defense and the run game.

    Metrics favored Texas last season. UW was a 10 point dog to Oregon in the Pac-12 champ game.

    The metrics mean jack shit.

    UW's offense is erratic and plays poorly at times, but they are the most brilliant and explosive squad in the country.

    Also, UW has the better coach and better QB than Texas.

    Reasons for confidence.
    I wasn't comparing metrics between Texas and Washington, but rather Washington 2022 And Washington 2023. Anyway, you didn't really play the 2022 Texas team those metrics were based upon. 70% of our offense was sitting out. As was our best defensive player, who played at a very thin position.

    I know we're in doog it up mode right now but T'Vondre Sweat is probably the 2nd best player on the field after Rome

    Don't know who this guy is, so just checked his bio:

    "...had one tackle, one quarterback hurry and one pass breakup against Washington in the Alamo Bowl."

    Must have taken a dramatic step up in his game from last season if he's the second best player on the field.
    Looking at stats for a NT is fucking stupid. He was the Big12 DPOY because he shuts down the interior run game. Biggest test for UW will be our interior OL against him and Byron Murphy II
    I wasn't looking at stats, so much as pointing out that this guy played in the game last year. As a redshirt junior, not some 18 year old freshman. How'd Tualapapa run that day, I can't remember?...

    The question is more why was he able to run that well. In case y'all are interested, here is every play without the filler:

    13-0, 5 wins over top 25 and had to beat a top 5 rival twice.

    Other than that stats are for losers.

    Big 12 took in a bunch of G5's this year like Houston and BYU and was the worst power 5 conference.

    Eh, by Massey it was 2nd, behind the SEC and just in front of the PAC 12.

    In Sagarin it is third, just behind the PAC 12.

    UW has given up more sacks this year. 7 to 11. Minimal increase.

    Without a deep dive into metrics, this year's team has looked like complete shit for various reasons for long stretches (particularly the back half). The theme of the season has been playing poorly with pieced together lineups and finding a way to win anyway.

    Penix really looked off down the stretch and there have been more than a fair share of "fire Grubb" calls as the offense has significantly played under its potential.


    However, they've put it together when it matters most and look to finally be getting healthy. The month off is going to do wonders for this team. Texas has 5 stars 2 deep and Washington does not, there have been some significant lumps taken by our backups (particularly in the secondary and interior DL).

    At WR Mcmillan is finally back and that changes everything, he was arguably more important to the team than Rome going into the season and his absence skews a lot of the data the metrics rely on.

    I expect another close game. I was at the Alamo last year and Penix played like shit while Ewers had his best passing game until the B12 championship last week, and Washington found a way to win.

    I think we absorb another 300+ passing from Ewers, but if Sark sticks to the run we might be in trouble.

    Jesus Christ. This isn't hard.

    TCU went 5-7, a bunch of G5's got plugged in, and teams like Kansas and Iowa State were contenders. Oklahoma was limp dick again.

    That's a shit conference any way you slice it.

    TCU being bad means it was a bad conference? Ok. The Big 12 has 9 bowl eligible teams. PAC 12 has 8. Granted, the Big 12 has two additional teams this year. It was a decent conference this year.

    Oh, and Kansas is a very solid team. Not upper echelon of course, but that offense can score.

    We just have to use the gameplans that OU, KSU, TCU and Houston used. Texas and Alabama have basically been exactly the same as Washington and FSU this year with a zillion shitty wins, except that Texas and Alabama have both found a way to lose a game in between all their shitty wins.

    Texas is objectively not that great of a team. The only evidence that Texas is that great of a team is their win over ridiculously overrated Alabama, who in turn is basically living off their Bama's rep from previous years and a win over a UGA team that was largely living off of UGA's rep from previous years. I think our game against Texas is basically a coin flip.

    Really, Michigan is head and shoulders the best team in the country. Ohio State and Penn State are probably the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the country, and Michigan beat them both without Harbaugh coaching. Michigan is going to beat Alabama by about 28 points, and then they're going to beat the winner of the Texas/Washington game by about 28 points.

    I commented on another thread that during the 2nd quarter of the PAC CCG, there was a preview of the halftime report with Booger as the studio analyst.

    His comment on UW was that he was surprised by their level of physicality.

    Fast forward to Sunday and he was spewing out hot takes about the CFP committee and I think he got a talking to hence the comment he made.


    And that is my entry for the pods conspiracy of the year.

    Are you fucking retarded? You should have stayed gone. Michigan is losing to Alabama. Ohio State and Michigan are Iowa with better skill players, and Penn State is Iowa with more child rape. Saying Penn State is the 3rd best team in the country is the stupidest fucking thing I’ve seen on this website all season, and this place is crawling with stupid duck fans

    Do you have any doubt that Michigan would beat USF, Arkansas, Auburn and Texas A&M by at least 45 points? If not, you're a retard.
