Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
What changes would you make to the offense

Short of portaling in a few OL, what changes would you like to see? Like UW, USC doesn't play as well on the road so we(?) have that going for us.
I thought it was strange that the offense didn't target Latu that much in the passing game (generally easier to get the ball out faster to TEs). Same for running backs.
And if you thought UW's pass rush was anemic with only 14 sacks, USC is even worse with 12.

On the podcast today I referenced November 1985 when Chris Chandler replaced Hugh Millen at QB and the Huskies added the T-formation option play into the offense, to good effect. I postulated that Demond Williams start and then have Coleman and Mohammad play simultaneously in the backfield, and add the option wrinkle into the mix. My idea was met with the sound of crickets by my co-hosts, but I stand by the idea as a good one.
start Demond. I’m not sure it’ll make the offense better but at least we’ll find out more about Demond. It’ll be good to know if we should already write off 2025 or not
Think about it from the opponent's pov. Playing UW I would be so frustrated if UW ran Coleman and Muhammed all day. Jackson sweeps. Latu middle. And the odd pop to Boston would be a killer.
Instead Fisch is trying to have Rogers, Davis and the tackles carry the load
Texas AM pulled their starter and put in the runner and scored TDs on 4 straight possessions last night
The guy changed the whole game
I don't think Williams is as fast but the aggies threw two passes
First, If Rogers is the QB, stop with the slow-developing pass plays. This OL sucks and he lacks the skill and judgement to evade the rush and find the right WR or otherwise make a play.
The exception might be some play-action if the run game is working well.
I would run Mohammed more.
I would have Demond play more in the red zone. He has two red zone TDs the last couple weeks.
let Carroll try a few calls from the 35 yard to goal since what Fisch is doing clearly is not working.
What do these numbers represent in UW's losses and what could the coaches do about them?
14 75 WSU
16 148 RUT
9 80 IWA
19 104 IND
I am in the camp of many that Fisch could do alot better, the talent he has is good enough to win games as long as the scheme suits his players, this is where there is an obvious disconnect.
I am not in the FireFisch camp yet, with more development and continuity and a dual threat QB, things may look a lot different and a lot better quickly. I am reserving further judgment until Demond takes over. If he is good, it will rise the tide of the entire program
maybe not as fast but the TD he scored against Hosier showed burst. He can run.
gotta get that kid playing time now. you know Lan Danning is hoping and praying Fisch sticks with Rogers.
I'd be open to it, or at least playing Demond every other series. If McCree is still out, it would make even more sense.
I'd love to see them in a 40 yard sprint. The Texas A&M guy likely has a higher top end speed with Demond having better acceleration.
Towards the bottom here, it has details on how Demond has sprinters speed:
there is no reason whatsoever to let Rogers take another snap — unless Williams gets hurt.
Penn State’s starter got hurt just before halftime. He led 1 TD drive.
the running QB replacement scored 2 TDs in the second half. Far more afraid of that guy against us than Allar the starter
To paraphrase John McKay, The Throbber would like to see the offense executed.
Not a call for genocide.
Maybe.
The OL challenges make more Williams a smart play as defenses have tended to play less aggressive when he's in the game knowing that the potential for chunk run plays is significantly higher
USC is not a physical team at the LOS and there's going to be opportunity to run the ball on them
If they have injuries to their DBs again this week then there will be opportunities in the passing game
UW was probably closer to a win in Indiana than many think … problem is that they don't have the margin of error in them to be able to beat a good team on the road with mistakes
Being home will help a lot … this should be one of the better offensive games of the season for UW
i would start with changing the play caller.
I would like to see more pre-snap motion to get the defense reacting more. This offense is just very vanilla looking, IMO.
Play the dual threat QB who may not actually be able to hit the broad side of a barn beyond 10 yards, but neither can Rogers.
We? went from the penthouse to the outhouse at QB.
we are in a rebuild, scrap the 1 year rental and start building for the future.
I don't think Lan Danning is very concerned about UW at all
Start Demond. Make Will Rogers the holder. Win win.
