Push up the Middle and Heat...you get it.

The most encouraging aspect of Saturday's victory was the performance of our D-line. Keep in mind, cal's offense has been torching opposing defenses this season, and Goff has enjoyed plenty of comfort in the pocket.
The improved performance of Miles was nice, but remember that the coogs set an NCAA record against the cal defense.
But the D-line's performance is much more exciting. If this game was a sign of things to come...if we can generate that kind of Heat and Push, then I think this team will turn a corner. It's no secret - you win games by causing the opposing QBs to feel uneasy, which causes more premature passes and errant throws. Disrupting backfields is invaluable - get into their backfield before they can carry out their plays.
It's The Formula for winning: PUTMHFTE.
Yah, water is wet.

yes, water is wet. I agree.
scoring touch downs helps win games too!
UW has had decent rush off the edge before, including most of the last 5 years or so. It's nearly useless if someone isn't causing some havoc in the middle though.
Shelton is this team's MVP so far and I don't think it's even close. Maybe that's a "water is wet" statement too.
He removes a receiver from the offense each time he's out there. He nullified Montgomery on offense, whose biggest play was running a fly-sweep away from Peters. He has three INTs on the year and the two against Georgia State helped prevent further embarrassment. Without Peters, our defense gave up big plays to EWU and Illinois. Yes, it's true he got beat deep against EWU to start, but that's largely because he thought he had safety help over the top and King was late.
Kinda hard to imagine the defense not taking a big step backward next season with 4 guys likely being high draft picks. It's a good test for the staff.
Could be argued all day, but everyone is right about one thing...Kikaha and Shelton are two of the 3 best DL we have had in a decade or more, on the team, in their primes, at the same time. We won't replace that anytime soon. I hope to see them meet at Mariota this weekend and break him in half.
