  1. People aren't so distraught yet because it's fresh. It was the same way initially after the 2010 title game ("gilbert is the future!!1!"). Give it time. In a few years people will look back on last night's game with a lot more angst and frustration over how close we came.
  2. Crawford ran a 10.5 m 100 in high school. His problem isn't speed, it's that he's a headless chicken with no idea what he's doing on the back end. This despite the fact that he's a senior with 23 games under his belt and two years of coaching from Gideon. Compare his trajectory with that of Sweat/Murphy in the same timeframe under Bo Davis, and you start to see the problems. We could have really used his speed last night, but because he has no idea what he's doing in match quarters we had to roll with Taaffe and Thompson on the back end and watch them get roasted. From a 2021 interview with Washington's radio guy shortly after we hired PK:
  3. It took Sark three years at Texas to accomplish what A&M hasn't accomplished in a quarter of a century: win a conference title. Advantage A&M?
  4. Texas and A&M are playing again. It does him no good to tear down a future opponent; it would just makes A&M look worse when they subsequently lose to us.
  5. Meh. Look at where 3-star Sweat and 4-star Murphy are now after two years of Bo Davis' coaching. Compared with where 4-star Crawford and 4-star Thompson are after two years of Gideon's coaching. Gary Patterson helped paper over a lot of our deficiencies in the secondary, but now he's gone. We saw this with Herman's lousy position coaching hires; when the underclassmen (see Derek Williams) are the best players at a position while the upperclassmen are not improving it's a sign of mediocre coaching. It isn't just Penix. We were 113th in the country in passing defense for a reason.
  6. Steve Habel: Mistakes, penalties, missed opportunities ultimately doom Texas in Sugar Bowl loss Joe Cook: The Longhorns' 2023 season ends 12 yards away from a potential game-winning score (ian Boyd) Five quick thoughts: Texas loses wild game to Washington
  7. Realistically we should never have had a chance at the end there anyway. But we did dammit, and we flubbed four chances to score from the 12 yard line. Just didn't seem like we had much left in the tank playcalling-wise. I was hoping we'd try the deep post the announcer suggested. But the reality is Ewers is just too limited when it comes to the type of throws he can make. Penix is an example of a QB with no limits - he can make any type of throw anywhere on the field.
  8. Collecting all the post-game analysis articles, including those behind paywalls, regarding the Washington game here: The Athletic: Michael Penix Jr.’s magnificence carries Washington over Texas, into title game vs. Michigan Andrea Adelson: Washington Huskies top Texas Longhorns, seal CFP final spot Nick Kosko: Washington beats Texas 37-31 in Sugar Bowl
  9. If we had just scored a TD on that penultimate possession... a FG would have won
  10. Should have snapped the ball. That'll be overturned
  11. Baxter and now Blue. We're really missing Brooks
  12. Penix has yet to throw an incompletion this half...
  13. Punting was a mistake. Washington will score easily from anywhere on the field
