Looks like this guy is here just to beat his chest.Dahobbs said:
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. -
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.PurpleBaze said:

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.Dahobbs said:

1. Nope there's no way you're getting that one. Don't bother.Dahobbs said:

2. It doesn't matter. Chests are puffed. Balls are swollen. Don't drop the soap around here right now. -
Metrics favored Texas last season. UW was a 10 point dog to Oregon in the Pac-12 champ game.Dahobbs said:

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.Kingdome_Urinals said:

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?...NEsnake12 said:
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 -
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:1to392831weretaken said:

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

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.haie said:

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.Dahobbs said:

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. -

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.haie said:

Oh, and Kansas is a very solid team. Not upper echelon of course, but that offense can score. -
guys let try to make the shit talking entertaining vs. fucking reading walls of text

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 fansSandra6 said:We just have to use the gameplans that OU, KSU, TCU and Houston used.

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. -
It's special when the most retarded poster in the history of the board calls someone a moron.Sandra6 said:

NOGAF about their hypothetical margin of victory sandiepants. We just saw how meaningful scoring margin during the dreck part of league schedules is. Did you bet on Oregon? -
Sit this one out. You’re fucking clueless. Michigan isn’t that good. Their defense and run game are solid, but McCarthy sucks, and Harbaugh chokes in big games. Michigan can’t even score 28 points on Bama, let alone beat them by that many. You beat Saban throwing the ball, and that’s the worst aspect of Michigan’s team. Bama wins by double digits. Cook it.Sandra6 said:
