Doogs ... turn away
When Stanford wanted to move the ball down the field, it did. UW's defense is not all that, yet. And we know how shitty the Huskies defend Oregon.
I love Price, but his receivers don't help him at critical times. And Sankey can't score eight TDs.
UW's special teams are a mess. Against Oregon, that's probably all the Ducks need to win.
The definition of insanity applies here to anyone who thinks Washington will win tomorrow.
And fuck you, I am not going to LIFPO.

Agree with the rest but totally disagree with this. "When they wanted to move the ball down field?" You can't honestly think they only wanted to move the ball on 3 out of 14 drives or whatever it was. Did they move it some? Sure. Will UO? Absolutely. But UW's defense shut down Stanford far more often than not, despite having terrible field position all game.TheHB said:... after re-watching the Stanford game, I am more convinced than ever that UW is going to get butt abused tomorrow.

The defense may not yet be great but it's very good.

When Stanford was up by 10 with a little over 5 minutes to play, what did they do? They ran the ball three straight plays -- and almost got a fucking first down. If they had thrown the ball, they probably get the first down.
Stanford's play-calling changed every time UW got within 3 points vs. what they did when they were up by 10. It was a cat playing with a mouse.
Stanford was playing it extremely close to the vest. They knew UW would Sark all over themselves eventually. And that almost screwed them, which would have made Shaw look very Sark-like ... but in the end, Shaw is a better coach. Game over.
The defense is OK, but not as good as everyone seems to think. And that's certainly not going to fly against Oregon.

Yeah guys Stanford totally didn't want to move the ball and put the game away on its last ~ 3 possessions.
It isn't doogish to admit that Shelton, Shaq, Timu, Peters, etc. are pretty damn good. -
Admitting you have some pretty good players is one thing. Claiming UW has one of the best defenses in all of the land is another.
Just watch the game again. When Stanford wanted to go downfield, it had little trouble doing so. When it was more worried about running clock, it just ran the ball and didn't seem too concerned with getting first downs. Of course, a first down would have been nice and crisp, but until the last drive, Stanford wasn't in danger ... and of course, we know how that ended. -
Stanford wanted to move the ball on their last drive up only 3. One first down they ice the game, if they go three and out they are putting their struggling defense back on the field again.
UW's defense stepped up, I get being negative but some of you guys are a bit over the top when it comes to this defense so far. -
Blind squirrel. Nuts.

Shaw got SteveSarkisianFuckingCuteAndStupid on that third and 1 call AND Hogan missed an easy cutback for the first down.He_Needs_More_Time said:Stanford wanted to move the ball on their last drive up only 3.

I like to say the team that went 12-20 for 100 yards through the air (and 29.9 QBR) wasn't throwing the ball because they didn't want to move the ball.TheHB said:When Stanford was up by 10 with a little over 5 minutes to play, what did they do?

Stanford wasn't throwing because they couldn't throw.

Agreed. But saying the Tree was stupid is different than saying they were just trying to grind clock. They wanted to move the ball, they were just too stupid to run it effectively and the UW pass defense was too good for them to throw it effectively.TierbsHsotBoobs said:
