Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Has Troy Williams been named the starter yet?

    I agree ... but at least it looks like Williams will try to do it himself if his crappy supporting cast can't get it done.

    Miles looks like he's waiting for someone else to help him out ... and that help AIN'T coming.

    I just wish Miles would fucking run it. He could be much more dynamic if he would just take off with it. What good is the zone read if there is no read?

    Oregon game highlights...

    That video highlight is not indicative of the type of football team we are, quite honestly.
    We had a good week of practice, it's on Pete to get these things fixed.

    Okay, so we have 3 mediocre QBs. Run more designed QB run plays, those seem to work well in this conference. The beauty of the situation is... that if one of the mediocre QBs go down, we have 2 more.

    I don't get why people think Miles is a great runner. I don't get why people think Troy doesn't deserve a chance before they pronounce him 'mediocre'. And I really don't fucking get why people are thinking Browning is going to be an answer.

    This place has turned into doogman after dooging it up before the inevitable loss to the hated Duck.

    Fucking shit.

    If Troy wasn't mediocre, he'd be starting, that doesn't mean he can't be better, but obviously he isn't yet. Who cares if Miles is a great runner... run him anyway. Who said he had to be great at it, just needs to be good enough to gain a few yards and force the D to respect that fact that he can and will run.

    Miles looked like a pretty good runner last year and in his first couple starts this year. He's not a great runner, but I still think he should run the ball a lot more. When we have called QB runs and options, they have generally worked. He sure as hell isn't a pocket passer. Williams looked to have some quicks too so hopefully if he gets a shot runs are called. This team needs to generate a running game no matter who plays QB. In my opinion, that should be the main priority.

    To the Ducks, of course. To the Tree? No.

    What kind of fucking doog do you have to be to think we were going to beat Oregon this year? It's like saying that Don James should've beat 'Bama in '86. Fucking Christ. They are a LOT better than us and we don't match up well, plus we have mental problems.

    Also, Miles wasn't a great runner last year, he was just a guy who could use his legs sometimes. But, I couldn't agree with you more @RoadDawg55‌, we need to get a running game going and it needs to be Petersen's top offensive priority.

    Great post except that Browning should be a good one. Apparently he's unbelievably accurate and pretty mobile. I've heard Aaron Murray as a comparison.

    Williams oozes potential and he's more mobile than Miles which will helps the running game (keeping the D honest on the zone-read), helps 3rd down conversions (because he can more easily run for a 1st down if no one is open), and helps an OL that doesn't give the QB enough time.

    If we keep starting Miles, teams are going to continue to focus on shutting down our running game and making him beat them with his arm and legs. It's pretty clear now that Miles won't be able to do that against the better teams in the conference and probably won't work against ASU / Todd Graham either.
