Getting off the bus in Chicago
In watching the replay, I counted nine(9) penalties in the first half most of which were procedural and there might of been more. I haven't yet watched all the replay, but I believe it got better in the second half after some halftime tutorial in the lockerroom on how to line-up for Sark's fast no-huddle spread.
What was #88 doing on the field and why was he so unprepared to play? When not being called for lining-up incorrectly, #88 was flagged for holding at least twice while whiffing as a pass protection non-blocking TE.
After turning the ball over on his first carry, why was #12 given the opportunity to turn it over again on his second carry which he did? As a second year backup RB, this kid still doesn't know how to protect the ball as replays showed. Is #12 a candidate for DB?
Is anyone else tired of watching #71 get flagged for flagrant late hit? I suppose we're fortunate that the big guy is too slow to pursue sideline-to-sideline and not strong enough to terrorize QB's with rush pressure or he might be good for half a dozen 15-yarders per game.
Flag ball: I can't think of anything in Husky Football other than losses that I detest more than multiple procedural penalties. It is so....... coogloserish.
The team performance in Chicago was sloppy and another example of how poorly Sark prepares the Huskies for road games especially in early season. This time, however, our team fought through their mistakes and pretty much controlled the outcome over a mediocre Illini host:
Bishop Sankey is becoming almost unfair against poor run defense and his OL obviously enjoys blocking ahead of his slashes and flashes. Callier as backup looked good, but consider the opponents. I don't want to ever see #12 carrying the ball again.
Keith Price is playing well so far and appears to be healthy and mobile enough to get outside against the blitz. Don't know if the OL was confused, but they appeared to have little clue about stopping or slowing down the Illinis' red-dog. So far this season, KP has enough fast receivers catching the damn ball to get along fine without stumbling bumbling and lost #88.
The Husky defense had a good first half on Saturday, but seemed to get back on the bus at halftime. Here I think the UW staff got outcoached giving up three(3) TD's after allowing only one FG in the first 30 minutes. There still appear to be no miracles in a DL that combines a glaring lack of size and athleticism with lack of Husky caliber talent.
The final 34-24 score seemed too close, but it was a typical Sark road game and we probably should thank the host for the rare win. There will of course be more road games, but can Sark find a bus that get's us there for something more than BYU doog-lite and slop?

Broken Record..... to be repeated in ten seconds. Don't know how you do that repeat message all broken-up, but stick with it for it's the central truth of what's been missing for........ well, a long long time.

The things tailgator said are the basis for me saying "We now know that the Huskies are who we thought they were" post. Same as it ever was. 2 weeks to prepare and that's the product. Passion nailed it on the DL. We have one who I think would start for the top half of the pac-12...one.
This is a 7 win team because of coaching. Could be 6, could be 8, but the O/U is 7 (changed from the 2010 O/U which was 5).
Losses:Stanford, Oregon, UCLA, Stanford
Probable Losses: ASU, Ore State
Tossup: Arizona, WSU
Wins: Colorado, Cal

This is the kind of quality poast that keeps me subscribing.

I made it to "performance".

I think #88 has a lot of rust. He looked slow and tired compared to the rest of the offense. The OL was physically better prepared for the game than he was.Tailgater said:
Was that a sloppy performance by an unprepared Husky squad against an improving Fighting Illini or simply more of Sark's road troubles that we've come to expect? Although we typically miss 30-40% of the action watching football on TV, it looked to me like a few Huskies mostly stayed on the bus outside Soldier's Field or were embarrassed leaving the lockerroom in their BYU doog-lite all white unis:

Broken record is right. How may posts have we had about the lack of linemen on both sides of the ball? This year alone, I count at least 14 where I've talked about the lousy lines.
How many hundreds of posts have blasted Shark for being a weak, disorganized, soft, undisciplined Cream Puff? I've had a least 24.
What else is there to talk about except whether we finish 8 - 4 or 7 - 5? The x's and o's hardly matter when a train wreck in motion is all we see year-after-year.

I'm getting tired of beating this horse. If you poast again about this, I'm going to move it to the DL bored. You've been warned.
