Because UW hasn’t scored points on anyone this season, including Montana and Arizona.
You’re going back to our season opener against Utah State and ignoring the massive improvements we’ve made since that game. I don’t understand that.
Ahhhh... the Apple Cup

Same application as OSU vs. ducks. Watched OSU yesterday, very impressive, and they would crush oregon at this point in the season.
My only analysis is that UW isn’t that great running the ball. Under 4 ypc is bad. That’s where they are. They are not the UW of 2 years ago and will not all of a sudden turn into that team after 11 weeks of grinding their wheels. Our defense isn’t great against the run but a helluva lot better than we were 2 years ago. I get your hesitance to be overly confident, hell I am there with you, but I have a hard time seeing this UW team gash us like we’ve seen in the past. Now could we throw 2 pick six’s and get beat by 3 TDs? Sure- offense is going to need to hang onto the ball and keep the chains moving. A 3 and Out fest will F our defense too.
G-dammit i hope you're right, however don't be surprised when the huskies play better this Friday than any game they've played this year.
I'm hanging my hat on the classic "gamblers fallacy"...each year we don't win just increases the odds that we will win. That's all I have to say about that.
All of UW's P12 games have been decided by 7 points or less with the exception of the Oregon game, where they lost by 10.
I expect another very competitive game this week.
In years past, yes, but their DL is nothing like it's been over the past decade.
Good advice... however you probably should have given it to Leach and his staff.
It's an interesting game to predict this year. Do you go by our recent laying of an egg in the AC? Do you go by how WSU has performed this year vs how the ewe has performed? Common opponents? Overall records? The ol' "we're due"? Or do you go by the "they have higher caliber players" school of thought?
I personally think their strategy of being more academically prowess hasn’t worked out well for them this year, so I got Cougs by 2 TDs
That was the key with Petersen's AC playcalling - throw deep to establish (or re-establish) the lead. Run to salt the game and kill the clock
The two "Run The Damn Ball" proponents (Donovan and Lake) just got shown the door.
Their interim coach played for Walden and with Millard.
Doubt the pizza delivery guy that Millard "allegedly" mugged was slapped with a laminated play sheet or study guide
And Danny Shelton, Vita Vea, Elijah Qualls, Greg Gaines, and that Levi guy with the long last name.
I personally choose to believe that the “prowess” fiasco was the real reason that they let go of fLake. The shit results and “separation” incident are all a smokescreen.
His sideline blowup showed everyone that he didn’t have the demeanor to be their head coach, and when previous incidents of player altercations were uncovered, that was it for him.
He slapped a player with a laminated play sheet while breaking up a fight.
Jim Owens coach of much worse UW team than this, required black players to take loyalty oaths. Those that didn't were dismissed.
Not only wasn't he not fired, in 2003 they built a statue to Owens outside the entrance of Husky Stadium.
Both events reflect the attitudes of the UW boosters and of the people living in the neighborhood near Husky Stadium.
I didn’t have a problem with what he did personally, but his emotional reaction didn’t exemplify leadership. More so, it confirmed what everyone already suspected about him.
Making my every once in awhile appearance here just to again comment that you have more faith in your offense than they deserve... FG and a Safety against our two Safetys which I think is pretty generous for you to think you can get in FG range....
Good to see you're still here! Have a great Thanksgiving.
