Washington Football: Huskies only one step away from Super Elite Status
While critical questions remain, the top of the college football mountain
is within reach for the Washington Huskies.

Money grab.

Danielson's thoughts of going deep were tied to stretching the defense to help open up the shorter and intermediate routes ...
Problem was when we tried to go deep there was nothing there ...

Why do people keep asking, "would it have been different if Eason was on the team?"
No, because he would be redshirting.
and
No, did you actually see how innacurate he was throwing the ball for Georgia this year? -
Become elite then pop off.

Like Tequila said, bama attacked Nick Harris. That made it difficult to set up deep shots with little time to throw. Also J Smith dialing up plays with options for Jake to get out of trouble?
Eason would have not changed the outcome. We will what comes of that kid.
Now Darnold? Could have been a game changer but even then Bama was applying so much pressure.
I'm sure someone will correct me but wasn't Zabransky a bigger kid that was reasonably mobile? I believe he also got hurt late in the year his senior season?

Voted down for the use of "Super Elite". I mean WTF. The Huskies have a very good football team, but they are "elite" nowhere, let alone "Super Elite". "Super Elite" teams come along maybe once in a generation or two, they don't lose football games and they aren't truly tested by even the best of their contemporaries. It would even be a stretch to put the '91 Dawgs in that group based on their performance against Cal alone. The participation trophy generation has apparently bled over to prior generations, can we please stop it's progress and halt the hyperbole already.
The fact is this Husky team just played a team with an elite defense and head coach (but lacking an elite offense), and they lost the game soundly. Penn State just hung 49 on USC. UW managed a mere 13 points against them. The problem with the Huskies right now is a lack of "physicality" (physically and mentally) on the offensive side of the ball, plain and fucking simple, with Brownshorts leading the lack thereof. That side of the ball has to man the fuck up or this team will be no better than Oregon has been, never winning the big one against the kind of physical teams UW used to measure up against. UW needs to be USC north again, and they're not there yet. The defense is close, but the offense is behind by a country fucking mile, a bunch of front running candy asses.
At this point, I'm on the Petersen bandwagon, only because his three year progress has shown he can build a winning program, and because it appears he has the defense headed in the right direction, but this team is not going to break through until it starts recruiting and developing the kind of nasty assed O-line and big game ready quarterbacks James used to field. It's that "simple". Do that and they may become "elite". Super elite? Christ on a crutch. -
Like Joe Flacco elite?

You mean Frank Garcia nasty? Or Olin Kruetz nasty? Or Benji Nasty?
What kind of nasty are we talking?
Or ossai / Zajac nasty?
You mean like Hobart ready or like Brunell ready? Or like Flick ready or Moon ready?
Define ready QB. You mean like Pickett ready?
I guess we may have to wait for the Sorrell / Sirmon era?
Glad to hear you are on the Pete bandwagon.
