Have to disagree with ya Chest. The Oregon game was not close at all. We didn't get "unlucky".
That 4th down call was the correct call, that was a touchdown. Sankey has been known to fumble in the past and those things do happen as well.
They could have put up two more TD's as well which didn't happen. I'd say UW was fortunate it was 45-24 final score. -
Unlucky was too strong of a word if I said that. I just meant that generally things went Oregon's way early in the game. The touchback, the fumble, the initial call on 4th down. Huff getting injured, then miraculously coming back to make some huge plays. The outcome was never in doubt but it was a 7 point game to start the 4th quarter.

Yea but that game totally felt like the 2007 game where UW was 31-31 but you never felt good about it due to UW's offense was on weird plays while Oregon was doing whatever they wanted.
As for ASU if they are a big blitz team that means UW should get some BIG plays on them. Look for Sankey to bust a long run, be nice if you can hit Kevin Smith/2 wins on a bomb.
Pound Sankey early on them and hopefully that opens up play action to ASJ. Also like to see them get Kasen going as well. -
One thing we left out of the podcast is Nansen needs to be fired. He is likely spending his evenings googling how to play special teams.

Sorry, but I don't possess a rocker to fall off of........ not yet.
Why is it that you young whippersnapper football experts correctly understand that Sark's huge weakness in recruiting is the lack of line talent and depth on both sides of the ball, and yet continue to question Sark's play calling with regard to run versus pass. Whether Sark gets it or not with regard to what it means to compete against the better programs such as Oregon without holding our own on the line-of-scrimmage doesn't matter at this point. He hasn't done the job in recruiting and developing talent and depth where it counts most and no amount of intelligent play calling or superior QB performance is going to cover for that deficiency when it's the ducks lining up to kick Husky butt. -
I made the point in another thread that if Sark's only problem was the occasional play calling gaffe, we would be sitting pretty. I do think some of us (myself included) make a bigger deal out of the play calling at times when the issue is having soft lines and playing inconsistent, undisciplined football.Tailgater said:Sorry, but I don't possess a rocker to fall off of........ not yet.

The silence about Wilcox's shitty performance as DC against Oregon spoke volumes.
The defensive coaching was worse than the offensive coaching and it wasn't even close. -
