Why Washington Husky LB Jacob Manu won’t play against No. 7 Oregon

It warms my heart to see the hate for this decision growing the longer the thread goes.

I wish Manu was playing against Oregon. That said, he was hurt to start the year. If he didn’t get a waiver the plan all season has been to play four games and come back next year so he can get NIL money and improve his draft stock.
All the games matter, but we have already lost three. He was promised the UCLA game so Fisch kept his word. Anything other than slight disappoint he is not playing against Oregon is kind of ridiculous.

It’s not the end of the world, but I’m sure he made some decent money up here. We probably paid Jonah and Davis $1m each or something. Would have easily rather had another good lineman or two or an edge than those three. We cry poor and then waste money on luxury items. Some of the pickups have been good and probably cheap, but there’s lots to question. Will need to spend money on a left tackle, corner, a big bodied fast wide receiver, tight end, definitely an edge and probably a DT this offseason. This was the year to make a move.

Literally everything the defense has done has been damn near perfect.
No team scoring more than 24 is a hell of a stat, especially when the offense has put them out to dry over and over and over again in half the fucking games.
Take all this jilted teen girl shit about Manu out on the playcalling and the offense.
This is a non issue, having him all of next season will be a huge deal.

The more I think about this, the more it pisses me off. Like what in the utter fuck. How could Fish not have been out in front of this and had a better plan to utilize him this year, and what a fucking pussy for wanting to play against the powder blue instead of nothing else matters.

Washington has a much harder time beating UCLA in the Rose Bowl than they do beating Oregon.

Davis is really good when he plays. I agree that Coleman‘s money would have been better spent elsewhere, but it’s not the end of the world.

Not a bunch but there are 10-win teams that have freshman playing full-time starting roles. They're everywhere and too numerous to cite and that has been the trend for a few years now. It used to be a big deal when a true freshman started and starred. It's not really a big deal now.
I'm not saying 8 of 11 on a starting side are freshman. But it's not that uncommon for a freshman to be the best option at a given position and coaches are playing them now and not saving them for some future effort. And if they're good you're not going to get 4 years of them anymore. In that respect and others, I disagree with your comment that cfb isn't much different than it's always been. I think it's changed quite dramatically.

UCLA is broken beyond repair. That was as incompetent an effort by a major D1 name program I've seen in quite some time, and that's saying a lot.
Probably time to put away the "UW can't beat UCLA" routine. That was not a hard game at all.
