...for Petersen to get UW to the point that they can compete with Oregon. Agree or disagree?
Interestingly enough, no theories from him on why the roster is in the shape that it's in.

Does this year count?

We'll see. A lot can change in a year. I don't think we will be much, if any better next year, but by year 3 I expect a championship contender.
The game is at home next year, and Oregon won't have Mariota, but after 11 in a row, predicting a win is bold. At this point, I will believe UW can beat Oregon when I see it. -

I can live with 3 years, if that's what it takes to make us a Pac-12 championship contender.
I'm not excited about 3 years if it just gets us to "competitive".
I think the big key is off-season attrition. We need guys like Mathis (just one example) to stay in the fold. Not because he's going to be a superstar, but because it helps build quality depth at positions of need while we transition to Pete's players/style of play.
Pete can redshirt some of "his" guys if guys like Mathis stay ... if we see wholesale departures and freshman have to start filling the gaps, I think the re-build takes much longer. -
It is bold, but you have an adult in charge now, while Oregon could potentially start dropping off. It also looks like we're seeing Stanford's decline starting to gain steam too.RoadDawg55 said:We'll see. A lot can change in a year.

If by some miracle Petersen can beat Oregon next year, just give him the third Bryant trophy at the 50 yard line. We lose the few quality players we have and return a good mix of youngsters and fuckups. I don't see an Oregon win anytime soon. -
Remind me again when Sark was competitive against Oregon.KenND said:...for Petersen to get UW to the point that they can compete with Oregon. Agree or disagree?

He says the same shit over and over and over which makes him a champion recycler. Is there really anyone besides himself that does not read him like a bad novel.

We should be competitive by next year. I know we lose offensive lineman. Most teams lose key players from units. Get guys reps now so they will be more rready. I expected to be able to beat Oregon by next year and that hasn't changed. Will I guarantee it? Hell no

Before the season I thought Oregon would have the advantage in 15 given that we lose so much on defense and the OL.
To sum it up, right now the problem is the 11 & 12 recruiting classes had little quality outside of the top guys. We already lost ASJ and Sankey and will lose Shaq, Peters and Shelton after this year, rendering those classes very weak heading into 15. The 2013 class was very good and Petersen salvaged the 2014 class.
This year is the rebuilding year on offense while next year will be on defense. However, I'd expect fewer growing pains on the defense given the size, talent and depth on the DL and the depth being built in the secondary with freshman. On offense, the hope is guys like Ross, Daniels, Pettis, Williams improve a lot over the next season and a half.
2016 is Pete's year 3 and we know that with a new coach it happens by year 3. I actually feel very good about 2016. The defense should be very good led by an outstanding DL. You still have Ross and Daniels could be a monster at TE. Troy would be a jr and Browning a rs fr. The big concern is the OL. Perhaps Brostek could develop into an all league guy and they get lucky and develop someone else to that stage. In the next two classes it would be great to get one skill guy and one lineman who could play right away. Like a 5* impact guy.
