Dawg Boards RE Apple Cup

[chipdouglas]

I've been reading the Dawg boards and I'm gobsmacked at what I'm seeing. If I had to ballpark it:

• 35% think their victory is a lock
• 35% think it's a tough out but probably a victory
• 20% think it's a "scary" game but a toss-up in the end
• 5% say probably a loss
• 5% say definite loss

You expect some homer-ism but I can't reconcile what I'm seeing.

A lot of them are pointing to the Cal game as evidence of our vulnerability, saying that "we do what Cal does on defense but better." Except they don't: they're the #28 pass defense and Cal is #20 - and Cal's ranking is deflated a bit by playing us. Notwithstanding the moronic national writeups for that game saying we "almost lost if not for the last 30 seconds", ESPN's win percentage shows we controlled that game for all but 3 minutes of game clock. Finally, the true wild card for that game: in decades of watching Coug football, I have never seen Coug fans, from the Alex Jones types to the most levelheaded, so unified - before, during and after - that the officiating was lopsidedly out of our favor; borderline persecutory. Single plays in games here and there seemed unfair to me in the past, but Cal was a wall-to-wall dogfight with the refs, not to mention EVERYTHING that could go wrong did go wrong (6+ ref-extended Cal drives, uncharacteristic drops, the non-TD touchback) and we still won. Oh, and don't say you do what Cal does but better if you can't beat Cal.

Others point to superior talent, which is technically true but (a) hasn't really accounted for much this year, and (b) that's true of most teams we've beaten this year but it didn't do them much good.

We need to earn our reputation as the favorites more frequently, as they have pretty thoroughly stomped us 5 years running, so no harm in us - and them - being humble about this game. But to hear some of these blowhards, WSU may as well stay at home as they are gonna come in there with their 3 losses and whip #7 on the road. Is there something we don't know? Are they bringing their NFL players back into the fold for this game?

 

[TSKCoug]

The Cougs have to shut them up by winning! Were I a Husky I would feel confident too. They beat the #3 team in the country back in 2002, (that WSU team's only loss to that point was to Ohio State the eventual National Champion), so if they could do that why not be confident this year? I dare say, I do like the Cougars chances this year. But any WSU alumnus who has watched the Cougar football program a few decades or more has seen this rodeo before.

When they fell flat on their face with their expectations they basically have resorted to mental bargaining to try and make themselves feel better.

UW is on the decline. Everybody can see that.

I’m actually surprised 10% think they could lose. Most of them I’ve ever seen think the teams should show up compare recruiting stars and declare a winner.

It’s amazing for the hallowed ground they put Peterson on that Leach has one more conference win than him since ‘15.

More potent offense, Tracy Claeys, and Oscar flipping the field gives me Cougar confidence this year.

ONLY IN PAST LOSERVILLE WSU COUG IT CULTURE DO HAND WRINGING OH WOE IS WSU, WSU GONA LOSE TO UW.

Look at any other top 10 fan base, do any of them expect to lose? HELL NO

Even if they do lose, they rightfully DONT EXPECT IT.

Also if enough fans, players, coaches, etc, have the oh woe is us, we are going to lose, coug it culture, then often that is enough to really find a way to snatch defeat from jaws of victory.

ITS FRICKIN UW.

From the boards that I've read their main strategy appears to have Gaines ( whoever that is) break Minshew's leg on the first drive.

Real classy bunch of fans they must have there, no wonder they get so little national respect.

Nice speech. Would be great if the list of players that have blown out UW included anyone that played after 1994.

The Apple Cup is either a loss, a blowout loss, or a narrow win. Has been for 23 years.

 

[Black Bart the Pirate]

I’m not surprised they are confident, they have won the last five meetings rather easily. Peterson is a good coach, and they appear to have a very good grasp of how to defend the Air Raid.

Although it is true that this is likely the worst UW and best Coug team since Leach arrived, in my opinion the difference maker this year is Minshew. He is running the Air Raid better than the previous Cougfan quarterbacks, AND he has no prior history with UW. I think they are “just another team” to him. He will not be intimidated and will play his game. I like the Cougs chances.

97 was in between. Depends on what you consider a blowout. We dominated that game from the time we were down 7-0 and they scored with basically no time left and our defense pretty much let them score. If not for the 20 offside penalties we probably would have won by 30. Which I fully believe we can do on Friday.

I guy I work with wanted to bet me on the game but wanted the 3 points. I told him that was pathetic and he should be ashamed of himself. Of course I ended up giving him the points and am looking forward to rubbing it in his face.

Of course I was sort of joking. I think we can win, I hope to heck we win, I agree with all the comments about refuse to lose Minshew. I might even go. Put another way, we had better win. If we can't beat them this year, we never will. But I am nervous as hell and it's only Monday.

You forgot someone on your list. Think Husky Killer.

You mean Brink, correct?

And where/what are these husky boards? I assume muttman is one of them. Certainly not the Rivals mutt site (aka empty) - although we should all go over there and post a bunch of trash. Maybe Tron can repost his master plan for Ellensburg. Heck, maybe we should turn it into our off-topic/politics board!

What other sites am I missing?

 

[cr8zyncalif]

For me the important thing about our winning is not the what, but the why.

We can be beaten and our offense can be stifled. But it takes a specific defense to stifle our O, and there are only maybe 3 of them in the country right now...none of which is on the west coast. That D has to be able to stuff the run while maintaining both a good pass rush and shallow route pass coverage over the middle...using 6 guys. The other 5 play almost exclusively pass D. I would agree that Cal probably comes as close to that as anyone in the west, but had other issues not marred the Cal game we would have won earlier and by a much larger margin.

Now, as for what Washington has to do with their D to stop our O....let's start with getting a good pass rush (lots of hurries and at least a couple of sacks) with only 4 men rushing. If they can do that, then they have a fair shot. Of course, if they can do that they will be the first team this year to accomplish that. If they have to occasionally rush 5 and now and then 6 (as Cal did), then they have to rely on their DB's to be able to maintain press man coverage...and also cover the running back out of the backfield. That means some really good CB's and at least one safety that can run like a CB. That, or a lot of holding penalties and the inevitable big play they give up...because those who live by the blitz, die by the blitz. I suspect that Cal has better CB's than the Huskies. Whether I am right or not will be proven one way or the other by this game. Cal was only able to apply pressure by rushing 5, and they only got away with that because their DB's are pretty darned good as a unit. Better than UW, IMHO.

On the other side of the ball, UW has to be able to rush effectively enough against our small but quick line to force us to cheat to stop the run. If they can do that, they have a chance. Utah did that, and if their QB was a better passer, Utah probably would have beaten us. Utah has been the only team that was successful with that approach, however, and in the same way that I don't see UW's DB's being as good as Cal's DB's, I also don't see UW's running game (read that as "O line") being as good at run blocking as Utah's.

So where does that leave us?

We will approach this game just like every game on the schedule, as CML has said and done every year. The difference is that this year we are playing well enough that this approach is an asset, not a liability. We have an O line that is rating a 10 out of 10 in pass blocking and probably about a 7 out of 10 in run blocking. We have RB's that are dangerous both before contact and after contact. We have a mobile QB. And we have MORE than 8 interchangeable receivers. It is not up to us to scheme to beat UW's D; it is up to their D to try to scheme to beat us. On the other side of the ball it is pretty much their power against our speed up front and their QB/receiver combination against our DB's in the back.

WSU 31
UW 24

Yes Brink. I don’t even care to talk trash to UW fans this week. This is a take care of business game. We are better we should win. No trash talk needed.

We have a mobile QB

Minshew being mobile is actually what I'm most hoping for in the AC, and what could be a huge key to the game. Not mobile as in moving-around-in-the-pocket (although I want that as well), but if they're not going to call holding, I want to see him freezing defenders and forcing them to respect the possibility that he might keep it and run for the first.

Cal was actually a concerning game in that it felt like on at least half of his dropbacks, he was never finding an open receiver, unless it was on a checkdown, and even that was often covered. I hope that part of the gameplan is Minshew not being afraid to pull it down and run for 4 or 5 to keep the chains close and not get us into mandatory throwing situations. Needs to bring his sliding pants as they will want to play keep-away with us on TOP.

I don't think the rain and wind is being given enough credit for wreaking havoc on the Cougars offense in the Kal game. Kids were slipping all over the field and were probably slow on their routes. GM looked like he was having to really put effort into not floating a ball because of it slipping out of his hand.

Between that and them never being able to get in a rhythm due to the stripes keeping the ball out of our hands, it was about as perfect a gameplan as Larry Scott and Woody Hayes could draw up...

The fumble on the interception return and the missed FG kept the game closer than it should have been, even with all the penalties that benefited Cal. Doubtful those type of things go in uw's favor. I'm hopeful that the PI calls will be consistent, and maybe we even get an offensive PI against uw (we're due).

The key for us is stopping the run and putting the game on Browning's shoulders. uw will not be able to pressure with 3.

It's been amazing to watch each game this season with my son, who has never suffered through out dark years, never really seen us snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. He just believes we will win every game. And he's pretty much always been right.

You forgot someone on your list. Think Husky Killer.

Clete Casper, Ryan Leaf, Michael Black, Jason Gesser, Jerome Harrison, Alex Brink, Kegel???

 

[random soul]

The Cougs have to shut them up by winning! Were I a Husky I would feel confident too. They beat the #3 team in the country back in 2002, (that WSU team's only loss to that point was to Ohio State the eventual National Champion), so if they could do that why not be confident this year? I dare say, I do like the Cougars chances this year. But any WSU alumnus who has watched the Cougar football program a few decades or more has seen this rodeo before.

For Husky fans of Coug Ed's vintage, I suspect the 2002 game was sweet revenge for those early 80s Walden upsets that knocked them out of multiple Rose Bowls. Really one of the few things Jimbo did right after 1981

 

[Coug90]

Clete Casper, Ryan Leaf, Michael Black, Jason Gesser, Jerome Harrison, Alex Brink, Kegel???

Are you even a Coug? Sorry but HTF do you not know the Husky killer? Only WSU QB to ever beat UW 3 times...twice at UW on last minute passing TDs. Just an odd dude to leave off the list when talking about AC. Love all the other Cougs you mentioned too though!

Since you said above who the husky killer was

I will ALL CAPS the husky killer in your quotation of my quote.

Clete Casper, Ryan Leaf, Michael Black, Jason Gesser, Jerome Harrison, ALEX BRINK, ALEX BRINK, ALEX BRINK, ALEX BRINK, Kegel.

See what I get for not ALL CAPSing my post?

I really thought it was Alex Brink, but I wasnt sure, I thought it could have been Clete, Rypien, Leaf, so I guessed, and just made a list of possibilities

I did not see your answer of ALEX BRINK until after I posted.

How dare you accuse me of not being a coug fan.

My Dad got his teaching degree at WSU, and took me to lots of WSU games, and the times we didnt goto the games, we watched them on TV.

Me, and my Dad, BLEED crimson and gray

I may not be the most knowledgeable coug fan, and may not know all the stats, but I am a coug fan.

But thats ok, I know your joking right?

You were joking?

[random soul]

Kegel didn't even play in '03 though did he? I thought I remembered Swogger starting that game while Kegel nursed a bad knee and two bad shoulders.

 

[ElComanche]

It will be a revelation for their defenders to freeze instead of the coug QB. I breathed a sigh of relief when Falk graduated. The icing on the cake was when Leach basically canned his drinking buddy and a hired a good O line coach

It would be nice to recognize the amazing season with Minshew at QB without having to bring up Luke's name. But go ahead and keep patting yourself on the back, you were right.
