Pete’s Don James moment
Comments

I actually think for a stubborn, and somewhat aloof, guy like Petersen, this is a fair amount of concession. The way he is is why I love his GIFs so much. He's always talking to someone who doesn't come close to understanding the game like he does, and you can tell it's very hard for him to maintain a polite image and respond respectfully. So for him to say, "yeah, we have work to do," is actually quite a lot.ZoneUW said:

Of course, none of this answers the question why they weren't pressuring Haskins earlier in the game. Washington was getting gouged in the running game, but the killers were when Haskins was able to sit back with little to no pressure and make those crazy throws. When he had to deal with pressure, his throws were off. He missed several open receivers on big plays in the second half just because he had to hurry his pass. -
The post game press conference was pretty interesting. A reporter essentially asked why they didn’t run the ball in the first and why did they run it six straight times to start the second half. I’m paraphrasing but Pete essentially said in the first half they did a lot of RPO’s but they all ended up being passes (obligatory fuck you Jake). In the second they called designed runs, not RPOs and we all saw the results...DoogCourics said:HillsboroDuck said:

Do WR’s need to develop better? absolutely. Do we need to do a better job actively scheming Hunter Bryant & other playmakers into the offense? Yes. Was this Bush’s best game and are there things to harp on him for? Yes.
But I’m sorry. He’s not the problem. When you can’t have plays over ten yards, you’re not going to be very successful. Obviously there needs to be changes but Bush is way down on the list for me and I’ve crushed him a lot this year.
It's basically just you and me.
Welcome aboard.
I've been about halfway on the wagon since September. I get frustrated with the calls, but there has always been something in the back of my mind that it's limitations that make Bush call dumb plays.
I also wonder how many RPO's were called with intent to run Gaskin but Browning held it and then threw it instead.

Browning was also super salty the whole post game presser which was entertaining. Biggest silver lining of all time never having to watch him play again.

I've said it before we hired Bush, and I'll say it again now.
Bring in a guy like Jeff Horton from San Diego State to improve our running game and OL play. Since I doubt Pete will fire or demote Bush, then Make Jeff Horton the co-OC and make him responsible for the OL & running game.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Horton
His running attack has been studly at SDSU, and he has OL coaching experience in the NFL, which OL recruits like.
Last year when we lost to both Stanford and ASU, SDSU beat both of those teams, due to their running attack.

I’m there too. After the cal game I tweeted that I can’t write off Bush’s offense without seeing another QB run it because Jake is so fucking involved. It’s been said more eloquently by many before but we see the open receivers that Jake just doesn’t throw too. We know the instances where a real QB pumps the ball and hits WRs on time in stride but Jake throws late, or worse not at all and then gets pissy when his WRs don’t make a great catch on a wobbly throw as he’s scrambling.HillsboroDuck said:

The fact that we know about multiple cases this year where Jake checked out run plays in the red zone into low percentage throws, got gifs of Jake hanging up the phone, and multiple WRs clearly frustrated with Jake on the field, just shows how much dissent there is between Bush and Jake.
I’m not saying Bush is phenomenal, that there aren’t clear tendencies that need to be broken, most importantly the inability to stick with the run and the over use of fly-sweeps, but’s he was also dealing with a limited yet stubborn QB that our opponents all know how to defend. -
This is where Pete really needs to look in the mirror. You had a retard at QB and didn't realize early on that you needed to be "stubborn with the run". You have MMFG back there. Come out and run the goddamned ball until the other team finds a way to stop it. And if you're going to pass on a team like the Buckeyes, why not use some quick passes to the WTEs?Edwin_Bambino said:

Yeah, I'm some stupid dipshit on the couch. But, I have every right to be frustrated by seeing the same shit happen week in and week out. Don't have your galactically stupid QB run the RPO. He fucking sucks at it. He thinks he's Russell Wilson, but he has the athletic abilities of a my grandma. -
If I'm a DC and I know UW runs a bunch of RPO's I'm having my backers and ends key on Gaskin all day. Let Jake try to win the game. Good luck!Edwin_Bambino said:

This is a good poast but I will add that DJ never beat a corch in the same league as Saban and Urbs until year 9 on the jerb. And he lost to The Bear and Pedo State along the way.RaceBannon said:

Pete just won the conference for the second time in 3 years and if he's ever lost a game by 22 at UW it hasn't happened in a long damn time.
DJ to his eternal credit (GO DAWGS!) realized he was never going to compete at the top level again without a massive overhaul. So massive in fact that UW was going to go just 21-13-1 over the next 3 years while he put the overhaul in place.
Pete's program doesn't need a complete overhaul. He needs to recruit better (which he's already been doing the past two years). He needs to shake his affinity for midget try hard noodle arm QBs - which 4 of the 5 QB's to enroll or commit to the program in the past 12 months suggest he has. He needs to evaluate his in game coaching, which he says he's going to but I'm skeptical.
Pete is adding passers and pass rushers the two biggest issues that have plagued this program the past 3 years. Last year's class combined with this one is damn near perfect.
We are not anywhere close to the point where we need to do a complete overhaul and lose 40% of our games the next three years. No DJ moment required here.
The extremely frustrating thing will be if the in game coaching keeps us from getting that final step, but most coaches are in game idiots and I just don't think it's going to hurt us as badly with the right pieces in place.
We'll see.
In 86 we blew out Ohio State while floundering in the Pac
Pete isn't beating good teams and has a hell of a lot easier schedule that we used to now that we don't play the LA schools that much and get a steady diet of Pac 12 dreck
Pete isn't working that's the point. We don't need to wait 15 years for him to figure it out
People really did want to fire James. Pete gets his cocked sucked all over campus for not being Urban Meyer or Nick Satan and winning our shitty little league and ALMOST winning our bowl games
He needs a fucking mirror now. He isn't getting fired nor should he but he needs to change. -

If Gaskin gets 30 carries (He had 24), and Mcgrew and Ahmed combined for 20-25 carries, Washington wins this game. When has giving Browning 54 pass attempts ever led to good things? Pete could have ran the ball down Urban's throat. Case in point, the second quarter drive...Gaskin gashes Ohio st. for something like 40 yards on three carries, then for some unforgivable reason, Browning throws three straight times and they punt inside the Ohio State 40 yard line. Washington finally played like Washington in the 4th quarter. I want to check the stats, but I think UW rushed more times in the 4th than any other quarter and they were down 25!! If UW had ran the ball and stuck with it from the start, they'd have scored 35-40 points and won that game.
Running the football effectively kills the spread offense, because the spread offense is successful when you get a rhythm. You can't get a rhythm when the opponent eats up 6-7 minutes continuously on 12-14 play drives.
