Week 1 over reaction thread
Defense is going to get worked like a crack whore in the tuff B1G 10.
UW may be able to outscore some folks moreso than last year.
Williams and Coleman have to stay healthy and carry the team every week
Nothing obvious stood out in regards to coaching decisions which is good. Crisp game well managed
It is going to take more than a giant erector set to build a win over tOSU. Buckeyes looking at 40 minutes of possession and will quiet the crowd early and often
The SEC is done. The ACC is the second best conference behind the B1G. LSU saved the day for the South
DeBoer and the Tide can't get off the field. Same thing in every loss. The the offense puckers and Bama fan fumes. Can't win on the road. Sounds familiar. He has always been an we have to outscore them coach and the Huskies own games like 52-42 over USC. Nothing has really change there.
Probably not here. Is Fisch Temu DeBoer or worse? Better? Doubtful
Pretty sure 3 schools got fucked in the musical chairs. Sometimes a man has got to know his limitations and stay where he is
What if FSU did get in the playoffs and Bama was out in 2023? Saban retires in December and Bama has more time to go shopping. Maybe for Nolan instead of DeBoer
Unsung hero of the day - Gus Malazan, Bama killer from his Auburn days and a true offensive genius, Combine him with that QB and FSU is winning a shit ton of games this year.
Good night

Some more positives that I haven't seen as much posted yet, Race:
-Fusch play calling seemed better than last year. I think having a QB that actually fits the system and an OL that could actually somewhat move at least Mountain West front made a big difference.
-There were some really ill timed penalties but we came out last year with like record setting penalties. Cleaning it up a big was nice.
-That Pepa guy is massive and seemed to make a difference on run plays.
-I'm a little less Chicken Little on the run D after thinking about it more. CSU's second drive it looked like guys didn't know where to line up and how to attack and they got gashed but after that it, it wasn't as bad as you think. Their second TD run was a really gutsy call that basically scored because of shock and Esteen going full Asa. They had no timeouts left and with the time on the clock they likely had to score a TD or possibly not even get a FG attempt.
Now Race, this is Hardcore Husky and there are more negatives we haven't whined about yet:
-I want an apology for the endless people who said I shouldn't worry about the pass catchers. No separation. Boston is the only one who can do anything and he isn't a big separation guy. What happened to the Penn State WR, was he hurt. Looked like we missed Giles Jackson.
-Speaking of pass catchers, we missed Latu. DeGraaf was the only TE targeted I think and it was mostly sideways stuff.
-Year 25 of it's 3rd and long let's just give them the first down now is great.
-Squib kick?
-
New special teams coach does not seem so special. I was hoping things would get cleaned up yesterday but it was more of the same. Kick coverage was suspect and UWs 40th straight year of not being able to kick the ball into the end zone on kickoffs has officially arrived.

40 year anniversary calls for some sort of celebration
-
The blocking scheme and run game were better executed than last year.
It's a bit sobering how much a drop off there is after Coleman leaves the game. Mohammed was not impressive and is basically who many thought Richard Newton was.
Boston is a legit 1-2 round NFL talent and Williams is a great distributor of the ball.
The McLaughlin Group! New name for defense.
Linebackers don't seem that talented but I think the d line does some decent run plugging.
This defense will really need big plays to stay alive against decent teams.
Corners are huge and often well-positioned.
Overall, this defense will get dragged by several teams on the schedule.
This is looking like a 5-6 loss team with upside to be a 4 loss team.

You have to admire the consistency.
-
Colorado State won 8 games last year and is a decent team.
Clean some things up and stomp WSU
-
McLaughlin is fun to watch.
Coleman taking his craft seriously and finally getting in shape is going to make him a ton of money in his draft rise.
OL struggling with pass blocking is going to get Demond crunched against a real team.
Coug looked awful but you just know they’re gonna play their hearts out vs UW.
Oregon’s future qb at their double A affiliate in Berkeley looks like a great prospect,
Austin novasad looked crisp as Oregon’s starting qb yesterday.
Chinteresting how the SEC’s fall coincides almost 1:1 with the ability of other conferences to pay kids directly, instead of relying on a shady back channel network of catfish farm and car dealership owners (which the sec schools have in spades…big ten and others, not so much). @RaceBannon -
Told ya all the DL was small and soft
HuskyJW always right
-
Purple dildos need to be incorporated somehow.
-
The most alarming piece of this team is the defensive line.
Only name I heard all game was Jacob Lane.
As a unit they only recorded 9 combined tackles… Lane had 5 of them.
Very little pressure on the CSU QB all game save a blitz. Nobody on the interior DL hit a gap to get plays off their timing the entire game. Nobody on the interior DL shed a block to make a tackle in the run game.
Not good.
