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

General thoughts

Sankey is really good

A healthy Keith Price who gets time to throw is a dangerous weapon

Oline looked much better, but still needs to cleanup penalties

Dline has some issues, but Hau'oli is looked like a beast, especially after missing so much time. But we need to figure out a pass rush and how to hold the end on those sweeps.

Sark was lucky his game/clock management at the end of the 1st half did not come back to bite him. And if you think the stadium was full of Sark lovers, they were not sitting in my section, especially after he neglected to call a timeout after Price's 6yd run on the last drive of the 2nd qtr.

Shamburger was a pleasant surprise. He looked very fast and aggressive and made a couple of really nice hits.

Jordan Polk was electric tonight.

Mark Brunell is a stud.

Stadium gets 2 thumbs up.

  • I know I'll regret it but I'll give the mick a thumbs up.

    - I noticed the crowed boo'd Sark for going into halftime with 3 timeouts instead of taking a shot so perhaps we aren't in the minority like I thought.

    - Price played terrific. Just like what was mentioned in five reasons he was the best player on the field nuff said on that.

    - The DL was shaky but the secondary made up for it. No YAC at all for their WR's. A lot of 3-4 yard gains non stop but no big plays at all.

    - Mickens was a difference maker. Didn't see that one coming. Sure nice to see him live up to his 4 star status and hopefully this is the start of a fabulous career at Washington!

    The thing that surprised and pleased me was that our hurry-up offense didn't look like a confused clusterfuck out there. We looked mostly organized and like we had confidence and knowledge of what we were doing.

    Not a small point here. I really thought we were going to all fucked up out there, but instead, we looked like we had been doing this awhile. At least Sark finally started copying a winner - so thanks Chip.

    Now opponents have some film on us so we shall see what they do to adapt.

    It did feel like an Oregon game where in the first half the game felt close even though we were dominating then in the second half they were dog ass tired so UW prevailed.

    The only teams who beat Oregon have great DL play and I suspect that will be the only way this hurry up offense is shut down or if Sark goes back to his old ways and gives up giving the ball to Sankey.

    If a team isn't deep at DL that is going to kill them. This whole conference runs this offense now with Cal, ASU, AZ, WSU and of course Oregon so our lack of depth on DL is going to hurt us at some point.

    Yeah, our DL will bite us this year for sure. Also think Stanford is the rock to our scissors.

    I was hoping since we are paper soft we'd be the paper to their rock.
