Our Quarterback.
However, if a defense successfully disrupts what he wants to do...if they disrupt his rhythm, he does not respond well. He unravels.
Both usc and colorado got into his face and played tight coverage against his prime targets - Ross and Pettis. Jake caved. He did not respond and adjust by hitting underneath targets or looking toward his 3rd or 4th options (Chico, Fuller, Baccellia, Daniels, Sample, Dissly, etc.). Instead, he started throwing inaccurate passes and forcing things that weren't there.
His offensive coordinator didn't help by developing schemes that allowed him to throw underneath, getting rid of the ball quick, or designing mismatches that allowed Chico to be covered by a LB or safety. Instead, UW was outcoached.
Unfortunately, alabama FEASTS off of opponents' mistakes. bama has scored 14 non-offensive TDs. Go back and watch the SEC title game, specifically the point when florida completely disintegrated. It happened because florida's QB made critical mistakes.
Here's the deal - our defense can play with alabama's offense. They can keep us in the game PROVIDED THEY ARE NOT PUT IN DIFFICULT FIELD POSITION NUMEROUS TIMES. Our running game will get stuffed initially, but I think is good enough to eventually start gaining yards as the game goes along.
The concern is Jake. Will he respond well if bama takes away his first options - if they get him out of his rhythm? Are the coaches preparing a "Plan B" to make sure he doesn't get frustrated and erratic, and starts making poor decisions? Will he get frustrated and unravel, like against colorado?
Not predicting gloom-and-doom. Nonetheless, I fear that this is how the game might play out.

Out of rhythm Jake's offense still put up 34 points on Colorado. He needs to do just enough to win, but I agree that the coaching needs put him in the best position to do that.

It's certainly a possibility.
The other possibility is that UW hits a few over the top (which is where Bama is most susceptible) and Jake goes off.
If I'm betting I think your scenario is more likely. But the one weakness on this Bama team is the secondary, and UW has the weapons to exploit that, if Jake can keep his shoes clean.

Are you kidding me? "Jake's offense put up 34 points?" I wonder what Taylor Rapp, Ezekiel Turner, Gaskin and Coleman would say to that. For that matter, if you're giving credit to Jake for Ross' one-handed catch and dash to the end zone, I gotta laugh.alumni94 said:Out of rhythm Jake's offense still put up 34 points on Colorado.

No question that Jake has to play the game of his career along with everyone else. Let's be real, if we win its the greatest win in program history and the least expected other than from the drug addled losers like me who post here

I'm hearing that when Jake is playing well against bad defenses he does well. When Jake is playing badly against a good defense he struggles.
Just what I'm hearing out here. Don't twist. -

Ross had a couple of uncharacteristic drops in the CU game. Jake wasn't the only one not on his game.

Oklahoma was favored but we were like third in the country. I was very confident about that game
To me, this is the biggest challenge I can recall. -

That was jake's worst game for sure. But that was exactly what Colorado was doing. Preventing the big plays are daring us to run. It was retardeddflea said:

Colorado out their CBs on an island and loaded the box to stop the run and bring heat. It was Jake's worse game of the season, even by his own admission. Credit for what?dflea said:

This is just not true at all. They were in 2 deep safety all game until the last quarter. Their game plan was clear that they wanted to stop the deep ball and passing game. They very rarely had more than 7 in the box. It was mostly 6 and some time even 5 in the box.Passion said:

I was at the game and I am a complete dork. Before every snap when I am at the game I count the guys in the box. They were really consistent with 6 in the box and two high safeties. I'll go through and watch later and give you the box count numbers for every snap of the game. -

Or maybe you were happy with Miley Cyrus and Magna Carta and you think they would have UW sitting where they are right now?
Quit being a twat. We all know about Jake's struggles with pressure. You aren't dishing some scoop. I also know UW is getting ready for one of the three or four biggest games in the program's history and that doesn't happen without some good QB play.
Fuck o dear. Quit your fucking gweebing.
