They made that easy. Way to dominate.

No, he wasn't. He was forced to play dime safety for OSU and sucked even at that.

They are testing communication it in non-FBS games. They are allowing electronic devices in certain FBS bowls.

Most of us didn't think we would win last year. We had major issues on both lines, it was like Ewers sixth game ever, Worthy had a broken hand, we had no other receivers. The guys who carried the offense had opted out for the draft. And we really didn't beat any teams as good as Washington last year. And it's not even that Oregon isn't a good team. It's that they play a brand of football known to completely flop against similar athletes. They are great at beating up on middling Pac teams. They couldn't even pull away from one of the more terrible Tech teams of recent and should have lost that game.

Sign me on to this.

The players and schools that stand to lose most from collaboration are the only ones with the power to actually organize. And the next tier down all thinks they'll be the ones riding the coattails to easy money. That's why a player's union or a more united league structure won't happen anytime soon.

Football is going to become like the Olympic sports where less than 10 schools actually have the resources to field a nationally competitive team ever.

Sark has that rule but has allowed exceptions. I'm pretty sure we had a portal player last Spring play in the Spring Game, but I can't remember who.

yes. It's most like Air Coryell, which was the predecessor of West Coast, down to the power rush attack and heavy use of motion. Think Norv Turner.

Their wins end up being meaningless at the end of the year is why.

They are about this smart in real life as well. Extremely little brother minded to Bama and even GT. They will immediately hate us. Very aggy fanbase.

Their (only) weakness on offense is that interior OL, and Penix struggles with interior pressure. That's what we do best. Our DL needs to help out our secondary.

That's not even a Sweep. It's PnP Burst Toss.

The punt that was called back vs ISU.

Yeah. They are set screens with OL in front. Usually flares to the RB or slip screens to WRs. I'd say it's a strength but not the backbone of the offense by any means. I was more talking about the strengths and weaknesses of the OL. They can block in space.

This. They are basically a west coast power spread with a deep playbook. A lot of single read and go type stuff, some set plays, and play action shots. They are dangerous because they have overall the best skill position talent. It's not Air Raid or Pro-spread. Their OL isn't actually good at pass pro. They are built as a gap unit and their guys are nimble blockers moreso than anchors or maulers. The set screen game is actually one of their deadlier weapons because those guys are good in the open field. To compensate they move the pocket a lot - especially when they want to take a shot. Bralen Trice is a stand-up DE with length and good hands and is good in stunts. I don't think you two will get the physical battle that you want, that's just not how Washington plays. They actually get good pressure, they just can't finish very many.

Is this Jabbar Muhammad is the same one that lost the starting gig at OkSt to Korie Black? If that's a defensive player they feel the need to highlight....

This is actually an excellent question. I perused through my model and some game stats trying to figure them out and am asking.myself the same thing. I don't know if it can be answered without watching their games, but here's what I found out: My model has their offense rated #6 overall but #126 in reliablility. Good offenses are naturally less reliable, but that number is a little insane to me, so I went into the individual rating for each game. They had 3 really good offensive games: Boise, Cal, and Utah. Boise and Cal are pretty unremarkable, except that they do have bad pass defenses. Utah is a great defense and they are fairly balanced about it. It wasn't like an outstanding game statistically, but it stands out for the opponent they were playing. They had 4 really bad offensive games: Arizona, ASU, OrSt, and Wazzou. Arizona and Oregon State are good defenses, the other are unremarkable in any form. Now what makes Arizona and OrSt different from Utah is that they stop the run first and make you one-dimensional. Washington did okay running against both teams, but they ran the ball less overall, which may have cotributed to the bad showing. However, the two teams that Washington didn't run the ball well against all season were ASU and Wazzou, and it was their worst games offensively. So (before watching the games) I do think there is some truth to them being reliant on the run.

Sweat does have 5 or 6 PBUs this year.

Welcome to round 1 of the expanded playoffs.

The shift to 21 personnel is underrated. It's keeping safeties off good support angles which has lead to a more explosive offense. We are still winning upfront even with a more crowded box.

Perception will matter for seeding. Not that it's even a Perception problem for the ACC, they just bad.
