Greetings UT fans and thanks for having me! I tried to post on the main football board but can't find the new thread button there; probably user error. I had a great visit to San Antone for our Alamo Bowl matchup in December and I’m super excited that we’re already facing off again this year. I’ve never been to Austin before so will be making the trip to see my Dawgs square off against the Longhorns in DKR. Really looking forward to some Texas Brisket and to explore the city limits of your fine city.
I remember that the Alamo was closer than the score may have indicated and playing in DKR will present a new challenge for my Dawgs. Sark will surely have a new innocent sideline assistant to berate in order to fire up your Horns which will make a tough matchup even tougher. I really think UW has a chance to go all the way this year, and that starts with quality win against UT!!! Here are 5 reasons I like my DAWGS to win:
1. Michael Big Penix Energy Jr. He is the best player on the field, enough said on that. He has 4 years of high school and 5 years of college under his belt and will do whatever he can to win the game.
2. Offensive Line. We average a weight of 332 across the line, and they are ready to dominate the line of scrimmage. Troy Fatamu , James Atoe, Center, Ossai, Rosegardener. These boys have an attitude and are ready to rumble!!!
3. Inge. A new defensive scheme and a new attitude. Everyone is speaking out about the difference between our game plan on defense vs UT in December and the spring game. you will see a much improved defense on 9/9.
4. Speed, speed, speed. this is the fastest team Washington has had this century, maybe since 1998! Odunze, Jalen McClatcher, Germ Bern, Chinvinsible, MJ Ale, Louis Rankin, Zach Durfee. The newbies will be inexperienced but we bring a new dimension that the program has not had in years, speed.
5. Time of possession. I think we can win the time of possession battle in this one. the more we can control the ball and keep our defense off the field, the greater chance we’ll have to win.
I think UW wins this one rather easily, say… 34-17???
