Week 1 over reaction thread
Comments
-
Chinned for Temu DeBoer.
Five and seven still in play.
-
I don't know what Temu means.

I thought Mohammed looked pretty good. Sure he averaged 3.6 ypc but he did have a short TD and also had 2 catches for 38 yards (including a 33 yarder).
Is Omari Evans banged up? Rashid Williams is pretty good as a RS-Soph but I didn't expect to see Roebuck ahead of Evans.
I'm not as down on the defense as some others, at least yet. Sure Anterio Thompson and Uiagaleilei really do much but Lane looked great and Pepa had a few tackles. Durfee was around the ball some but didn't register any stats. Overall there were 6 TFLs, which is a big improvement over last year's D.
Against Ohio State, we'll probably see more 5 man fronts:
SDE: Durfee
DT: Thompson
NT: Butler or Davis
DT: Uiagaleilei
WDE: Lane
I'd rather see Uiagalelei as a SDE in 4 man fronts because he's not big / strong enough to hold up as a true DT against more powerful teams.
But I'm glad UW gets Ohio State early at home with a RS-Frosh QB and a somewhat rebuilt offense (with Chip Kelly no longer calling plays).

Play that game 100 times and UW wins by more than 17 in most of them. They had some anti clutch moments and CSU had some clutch moments, but otherwise it was domination. I don't think the final score was indicative of the gap between the two teams. /shrug
-
CSU looked like they put a lot into winning this game. They’re probably a 7 win MWC team but really wanted to get this win for no reason really. It doesn’t matter in their conference play and only matters when the check cashes. Boise looks like ass so maybe I’m wrong
-
say 34-17?
-
Rather easily.
-
In the theme of overreaction the defense got a lot better when #11 stopped playing. When the run defense was melting down the DEs were getting sucked up inside a lot.
Sports are odd. This game statistically has a lot of similarities to the opener against Kent State in 2022 but that game felt like so much more of a domination. The Deboer UW teams just seemed to have such a better rhythm than Fusch.
-
Reading that Azzopardi and Willis were two of the highest rated tackles in CFB this past week.
It seemed like the Hatchett brothers are who struggled. -
I didn’t notice Azzopardi in a negative sense other than a false start penalty.
