The way this team played its a clear case of addition by subtraction

I'm fine with UW under the radar as long as we? end up on top

We may suck but the rest of the PAC is still our bottom bitch until SC starts to care again about football.

This. Fans want to convince themselves that the most desireable outcomes to them will come true. It's the same reason doogs thought we had a chance vs Ohio state and two well known doogs thought we would carve them up on the tsio podcast. Fans can't help themselves.

There were some things that went as I expected and against how I expected during the game. I haven't gone back to watch it in to see how much of what I thought UW missed on was due to our misses or Ohio State taking some of those things away.

But here are some facts about the game:

UW outgained Ohio State by 80 yards for the game and outgained them in both on the ground and through the air

Statistically, it was Ohio State's 2nd best defensive game of the season (Michigan St was their best) against P5 competition ...

Offensively, the only P5 games where Ohio St performed worse in (yards per play) was Michigan St (bit of a weather game) and Penn St

Washington's yards per play performance of 4.9 yards per play was consistent with their challenges against talented defenses that they played this year in Utah (2x) and Cal

Washington's big problem in the game was their inability to really break any big plays and in particular in the run game ... that was Ohio State's problem the balance of the year was the big play

So in the grand scheme of things, it was really a tale of 2 different halves but some of the ills that stood out with respect to Washington all year and over the last 3 years continues to ring true.

There's a long way to go in terms of upgrading talent, etc., but if you look at the major P5 teams that we've played since 2016, this is the only game where we've statistically outgained our opponent:

USC ('16) = -124 yards (0 turnover margin)
Bama ('16) = -132 yards (-3 turnover margin)
Penn St ('17) = -214 yards (+2 turnover margin)
Auburn ('18) = -22 yards (-2 turnover margin)
Ohio St ('18) = +80 yards (0 turnover margin)

This will be a trend to keep an eye on going forward as we're going to have 2 such teams on the schedule next year with SC and the likely bowl game.

Good hell. Our offense sucked and got some garbage time td's. It was 28-3 and tosu lost focus. the fact you are still trying to see this otherwise further proves the point. Fans find reasons to believe their desired outcome. In a game like the rose bowl this year stats are for losers more than ever.
