Just got back home after a nasty 90 minute traffic snarl on Snoqualmie pass. A fitting end to a depressing weekend.
I’m not sure why, but yesterday’s loss isn’t bothering me as much as I thought it would. Maybe it’s because we’ve had so much success of late, but more than anything, I think it was because yesterday was like a scrap book of everything I thought this team would be.
Great offense (WRs, Borgi, etc.) A suspect (putting it mildly) defense. A good, but probably not great team. I remember posting in August. That I felt this would be a vintage Leach at Texas Tech team, and that’s exactly what last night was.
We were better than UCLA, but our defense stinks and we threw up all over ourselves. That’s it. To UCLAs credit, it was their first game where they put together Chip’s sideline to sideline, rip you with a seam pass, offense. We had 9TDs though, and should have won by 20. It was a great college football game.
We’re not an elite team, but I’m excited to see how Leach handles this team. He’s a great coach, and I know he’ll take this as a huge challenge. I bet we show some nice improvement as the season rolls on.
We’ve got some whoopings coming our way, I’m afraid. Road games at Utah, Cal, Oregon, and UW are gonna be ugly, but we do have an outstanding offense that’s only going to get better. We can match up with ASU, Colorado, Stanford, and Oregon State. If we can steal one of the tough road games, we can still have a decent season.
This team is who I thought they would be, but dammit, hold onto the ball and tackle on special teams.
