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

How did this team get taken to OT by Arizona?

???????????


Fuck.


The funny thing is we would beat that Zona team by 70 at home. I guess it was the last of the desert black magic curse?

    It you watch that game again, we drove it down their throats and came away with nothing so many times. Shut their faggot asses down so many times but the o wouldn't reward the stops. Then the D let' their wideout quarterback sprint through the middle of the pocket for td's and large gains. Fix that shit Shitkowskie.

    A couple of guys losing leverage or their assignment which resulted in a few huge gains for AZ. Couple that with some missed tackles in crucial situations and some fifty-fifty balls going their way and we got a close game. I was worried that would continue against Stanford and Oregon but things were fixed quickly which is a good sign of a good team.

    Besides every undefeated team will have a close game against some surprise team when things just don't go their way (except for Alabama but they are a semi-pro team anyway). Now who knows if we finish undefeated this year but thus far that game looks like an out-liner. Winners win and a win is a win.

    Watching Clemson vs. NCSt at home was somewhat reassuring.

    Arizona game was always the key to the season. Survive that one... the rest was natural.

    Fuck, I want to believe this but Arizona is completely shit tier. They haven't been competitive since the UW game.

    Looking ahead to Stanford, weren't prepared for Dawkins ability to run, blown field goals, plus a couple fluke plays (Vea won't miss that sack again in his career).

    All that and we still won.

    Elite teams dont get taken to OT by 2-5 teams

    I thought Zona was better. They fucking suck

    Forgot to add: first road game. First conference game after dreckfest non conference.

    Keep in mind, they've lost like 4 QBs and 6 RBs. And that one RB we sidelined looked pretty good.

    This isn't September's Wildcats.

    I can't take all the credit, but Coker and me were convinced of that since spring. It's about us, not them. We had to get over the hump with our confidence.

    Even Pete talked about that after the game. I don't know why it's hard to believe that having confidence is tremendously important. It's one of the first things out of Pete's mouth every time he talks about improvement.
    Pete talked about it before the game as well. Said he wanted to see how the team responded when things weren't going their way. He got his wish, and no doubt that was a confidence builder. Still, Arizona is complete dreck, and it's true, the Huskies left a lot on the table, that happens sometimes, but it doesn't always work out so well.

    Dawkins didn't play against Utah.

    DDY has been on point about this one. If you can't see winning that game was the lightbulb going off that they can actually win now, then you will never get it. If you're still whining about barely beating AZ you should go DIAF. Shitstomping Standford and Oregon was a direct outcome of that game playing out the way it did.

    2004 USC beat a 4-7 Stanford team by only 3 points on the road. Like apag said, this shit happens.

    The 2001 Miami Hurricanes defeated Boston College 18-7, needing a defensive td in the final minute to put the game away.

    Counter point- BC went 8-4 and were ranked (like Oregon State).

    Counter counter point- THAT WAS THE GREATEST TEAM OF ALL FUCKING TIME.


    It's football. Weird shit happens. That terrible Michigan team that lost to Appalachian State won 9 games and beat Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow in their bowl game.

    Are you new to college football?

    That BC team and that Appalachian State team would run a train on Arizona.

    Are you?

    Stanford rushed for 29 yards and we had 70 on Oregon with 10 minutes left in the game. You're a fucking moron if you can't see that we are dominating teams utterly even if they are shitty. We play the teams on our schedule and we push their shit in. HTH.
