1. The offensive line. Massively improved. Good push on the run, and they never got near Price. If you give Price time, our offense is very, very potent, because we have some serious playmakers at the skill positions.
2. Discipline on defense. No guys running free. No big plays. No blown assignments. Very good tackling.
3. We have depth now. We wore Boise out.
That was a fantastic win. But Sark has had fantastic wins before. The wise thing to say is, so far, so good.

2. WR's, this is night and fucking day from last year
3. Special teams
That is what was most impressive was at no point did Sark have his typical 3 and out where we throw three straight times.
He stuck to the run the entire time. Also ditch the "pro style" in the process. I don't recall UW taking one snap behind center instead they were out of the gun and getting the ball out of there quickly.
Teams will adjust and play up on our WR's but the Huskies will have guys like Smith and Ross who can burn them deep.
If your going to be negative about the mower (I like to call it the mower) I'm out.
My biggest concern is how they stand up to teams like Stanford, especially on the road. Stanford is the most physical team in the conference by a fair margin and it is an away game for the Huskies. People seem to forget, Stanford won the conference title last year, and along the way beat oregon at autzen and UCLA twice in consecutive games. Playing fast is great until drives start stalling, three and outs start piling up, and your defense starts getting pounded, which is exactly what teams like Stanford, and 81% of the SEC, are built to force.
Bottom line, we'll know more after Arizona and Stanford. Those teams represent small ball speed @home and big boy power on the road. Still enjoying the buzz from last night, but waiting to see if this group of Huskies are for real.
1. Way to open up the new digs, dawgs.
2. Offense should be competitive with Arizona/Oregon the likes (e.g. no excuses for plunger sessions)
3. Penalties are still worrisome (8 for UW versus 2 for BSU). Will be more of an issue in P12 play.
2) Our team played like shit, not even close to their potential. It was clearly apparent that there was absolutely no player development over the off season.
3) Our team was soft. No toughness whatsoever.
4) Fire Sark now before we go 7-6 again.
Yes, pass protection was MUCH better (partially because Price got rid of the ball quicker), but I think it's a little too early to breathe a sigh of relief. As you said, so far, so good.
