UW wins because they have better players. Huskies should win by 20 at home on talent alone, but Sark does his best to lose, so it stays close, but Huskies cover 36-28.
This is what concerns me. Stupid penalties, and going for it on 4th down when we should take the 3 points. In other words, undisciplined...per usual.
As a Duck fan, I can honestly say that this is the best Husky team I have seen in the Sark era. You have great speed and terrific tacklers on the backside of the defense.
On the offensive side of the ball:
You have more speed than ever
Your receivers can now catch the football
Sark has now copied an offensive strategy that hides the team's one glaring weakness which is pass blocking.
Washington football is better now than it has been in years, but don't get me wrong. Although great lipstick, it's still lipstick over a very mediocre pig, which is magnetized by the ineptitude of your head coach. This team will do better than 7-6, but when playing against better talent they will get destroyed. There will be some bleeding buttholes post-game of the Oregon, Stanford, and UCLA games. This team could go 10-3 this year, but the separation between this program and the top tier will still be huge.
10-3 with 3 plungers will feel like a Northwestern like 10-3. Nobody will really think much about it, from a national perspective.
