Oregon would be a playoff but for us. That isn’t debatable. If you beat Alabama twice they wouldn’t be in the playoffs either. On top of Oregon, we beat Oregon State and Arizona who are both still ranked. Also beat Utah and USC when they were ranked. Are you really arguing that a big 12 is better than pac 12 this year?

Yep. I think y’all are very good and it will be a good game. I am very confident in my Huskies but it doesn’t mean I think you guys suck.

Doubled his TD total and 400 more yards. Also made the play that won us the first Oregon game, the Oregon State Game and the Washington State game. All with broken ribs and a punctured lung suffered in the Arizona game. Good enough for you?

We won every one of those games. Did Texas win every game this year?

No need to hold your breath pal. Rome Odunze took a giant leap and was a Belitnikoff finalist and had better stats than Harrison Jr. Michael Penix was second in the Heisman voting and our OL are finalists for the Joe Moore award.

I think you are the one projecting. If you look at my post you will see I didn’t say anything negative about Sark. Just said he wanted to win the game badly as demonstrated by him chewing out that guy in the tunnel beforehand. I liked Sark and was bummed when he left. He recruited very well and brought us out of the college football basement. Also immense respect for his recovery journey. Alcoholism is very difficult. I strongly disagree with your Oregon views and they really aren’t backed up by anything except personal opinions and a close TT victory. They only lost two games to us and otherwise had an incredible season with a talented roster and Heisman finalist. They are very good and would be in the CFP if it wasn’t for us. to answer your question, our LBs are very solid with Ulofoshio being a first team all conference and a second team all American by PFF. We also have good depth at the position and regularly sub out. Not world beaters, but not a liability. Secondary has been a liability at times this season but we also had our two starting safeties out for large parts of the season. They were back for the CCG and it showed. Hope it carries over to Sugar Bowl. Mohammed is a stud CB and will play Sundays. Elijah Jackson is a liability but Thaddeus Dixon has been taking his spot recently and is playing well. Secondary is our weakest position group but doesn’t scare me as much now that we are healthy.

So beating Alabama earlier this year doesn’t give you any confidence if you faced them in the NC?

Oregon said the same thing before the PAC 12 CG. They were demolishing their competition, were considered the most impressive 1 loss team in the country and ranked ahead of Texas just two weeks ago. How did that turn out for them?

A lot of people here keep pointing to the same group of Texas players as the difference makers and the reason why Texas will win (Sweat, Ewers, Worthy, Murphy etc). Didn’t all those guys play in the Alamo Bowl that we beat you all in pretty comfortably? I get that players get better YOY but that works for both teams. And don’t tell me you all didn’t care about the Alamo Bowl. It was pretty clear from Sark’s demeanor before that game that he wanted to win BADLY. Oregon was ranked higher than Texas each time UW played them this year and before the Pac 12 CG everyone convinced themselves Oregon would win despite the recent head to head evidence that UW was better. I know this post will not convince anyone so whatever. Just had to say something.
