  1. Plumlee saved by his knee being down.
  2. What on earth was UCF's returner thinking?!?
  3. How much does that tool hate Arizona State? Washington gave up 7 points to ASU on 341 yards of total offense. How on earth could that be a D grade?
  4. From a purely military perspective, yes. However if you look at it from a long term demographic perspective, I think the strategy has a lot of merit. Like Russia and other countries, Ukraine had an extremely low fertility rate even before the war started (something like 1.2 births per woman). Saving younger generations from the draft is probably an important long term strategy to stabilize the population of Ukraine.
  5. To make you feel better, Penix and your receivers are absolutely great at deep ball/contested catch situations. I think you convert like 44% of them. Against lesser passing competition, we give up those at a 40+% clip. So yeah, yeah, strength on weakness right there. That said, despite allowing completions when those deep passes take place, we do a fairly good job of limiting their occurrence through pressure and our coverage. We like to invite the underneath stuff and then rally to ball while playing the run game with a light box.
  6. He was much better because neither of those teams provided consistent pressure. If our O-line can give Quinn a clean pocket most of the time he can find a checkdown. Eh, the times I'm thinking of didn't involve any real pocket pressure. He had plenty of time and a decent enough pocket. He just gets stuck looking deep sometimes. I think it is partly because we don't actually attack deep that often so he really wants to take those shots when they are called. Hell, that may be something that Sark wants as well.
  7. Yeah, that last point is pretty salient. I feel like many times our struggles on offense, in particular the sacks, are because Quinn gets fixated on waiting for his primary read to open up deep rather than just taking the easy candy underneath. He was much better about it against Ok State and even Tech.
  8. If that is the situation, Mitchell and Sanders are our true contested catch guys. Worthy definitely prefers to be relatively clean when he catches the ball.
  9. Worthy. Not adjusting your defense to defend his speed will get you burned. That said, I'm not sure that necessarily means doubling him all the time. You could also try playing off coverage and just rallying here and there. But I don't think you can really risk doubling anyone else as we work real hard to get Worthy the ball in a lot of ways. If you double someone like Mitchell, we'll either isolate Worthy and he'll beat someone one on one or get you outnumbered in one of our quick screens to him.
  10. Yeah, Penix completing >44% of downfield throws AND throwing it down field at like 3 or 4 times our rate is fucking impressive.
  11. In that circumstance, most likely 45/55. It is 50/50 if the offense is clicking and whoever has the ball last wins. However, if the offense isn't firing on all cylinders, then it'll be a long day for Texas. Y'all did run the ball well last year. That was predicated on a lack of discipline, particularly among some players that got extended minutes due to our best defender opting out. In particular we had one edge player and one linebacker that played really poorly that game. In general there was also some poor pad level at the line, which isn't something we've seen this year. I wouldn't expect a repeat of that performance.
  12. What's the other board you mentioned? Where do we go to find the educated Husky fans rather than whatever street trash collects on HH? Oh, and what can you tell us about your safeties that were injured and now are back? How does that change your defense?
  13. At first I thought you mixed up the state and city relationship, but I realized you meant the university.
  14. In trying to review their games, one thing that stuck out to me is that while Washington receivers are really good at making contested catches, they don't seem to get a lot of YACs. McMillan appears to be the primary YAC guy. But their offense in general doesn't so much create space for receivers as it creates one on one matchups where they win the jump ball. Just a really different style than our offense.
  15. Hey, new guy, remember that time you thought we would get left out for a 1 loss Georgia or whatever bullshit you were spouting? Just take a seat for a bit and learn your place. You'll fit in fine eventually.
  16. Brooks had a sports hernia that game.and was limited. More importantly, we actually didn't know much about him. Bijan made our rushing attack that year, our oline was pretty bad most of the year at run blocking. Again, the team isn't really similar at all. We didn't have a true #2 receiver. Our #1 receiver had a broken hand and dropped two touch downs. We didn't have our best defender and had to play his terrible backup. Ewers was on game 6 after 2 years of not really playing football, completing under 60% of his passes for the year (he is over 70% this year). This year, our 2nd leading receiver by yards and first by TDs is new. Our linebacker that is second on the team in tackles is new. Our running backs are new. Our freshman/Sophomore oline is massively improved. Last year you beat a bad team without 3 of its best players. It has shit to do with this year.
