    2016 would put the 2000 team away before they showed up after halftime. 2016 was better at probably 9 positions on defense and most of the skill positions. OL was about even. 2000 was better at QB, TE and not having Psalm. That's about it.

    2016 rather easily.

    This. The 2000 team did beat Miami though. They weren't that great though. The 2016 team was a lot more consistent and had better talent.
    It's easy to be consistent when you play dogshit every week.

    Tui beats Brownshorts rather easily

    Tui better clutch QB (at least, 2 years into Browning's career) but there are some things that Browning does better. 2000 team was lucky to go 11-1. The 2016 team would have gone undefeated that year with few close games and completely destroyed Purdue in the Rose Bowl. Pete > Rick and not even close.
    Browning is irreparably damaged by getting curb stomped by Miami in 2000. 2000 played a better schedule in a better Pac without Utah and Colorado who Tui beat as a non conference foe
    I don't buy that. The team that showed up Friday night on ESPN to curb stomp the Trees could probably have beat that 2000 Miami squad at home.

    Allow me to axe you this: Let's say the 2000 team never plays Miami at home early in the year, but instead gets them in a big time bowl in the deep south - what do you think the score would have looked like? In other words would it be closer to us losing 24- 7 or 17- 7 or more like 65- 7?
    Great point. In a bowl game Miami would have named the score on the 2000 team in a rematch or if they were meeting for the first time that year.

    2016 Defense doesn't allow that to happen even if offense is anemic just like we were against Bama.

    Tui was a warrior, but the 2000 team isn't hanging with last year dawgs

    dnc saying the OL is even is LOL funny

    You're right. 2016 OL > 2000.
    The 2000 Dawgs weren't great from top to bottom. But they had a great, and senior-laden, OL. Much better up front than 2016. Not close.

    Let me put it this way: Trade OLs, and UW wins the Peach Bowl.

    In men's basketball both teams would find a way to lose to each other...

    I was just fucking with J when I said 2016 is greater, but I do think they're basically even. 2000 is remembered very fondly but I think it was a good line that is overrated based on two things: the option made it look better than it was, and the ensuing dreck OL's made it look better than it was.

    2000 was a very good OL, not a great one. Just like 2016.

    One huge reason 2016 wins this gayme rather easily.

    Turnover margin vs Pac12 opponents (since 2000 clearly paid a tougher non con): 2016 + 13, 2000 (-3).

    2016 takes the ball away at least two more times against 2000. Ballgame.

    Agreed. 2000 was better in the trenches on both sides of the ball. 2016 was basically better everywhere else though.

    Probably something like 34-17 Miami
