It's clear as day that the Petersen-led Huskies are on their way up, way up.
Like Boise St during their heyday ... but using Pac12 level talent and athletes. This is going to be awesome to watch for the long haul.
While all this is happening in front of our eyes you have Stanford trending downwards and people asking writing articles wondering what's happening?

Yeah, Stanford "education" is still trending steady as always ... but Washington is no slouch academically ... and football is moving forward like a bullet train.
By all accounts he's a smart guy.
This is what i'd do:
- watch the rest of the season.
- if Stanford recovers and their O-line performs as "expected" and MCCaffery runs roughshod ... then make your choice.
- this is the big question.
- watch what UW does, the expectations is that UW under Petersen's leadership will be moving forward and maintaining the high level of excellence that we've seen emerging this year.
- if that remains evident then make your choice.
I'd love for the best talent to come to UW, doesn't always happen ... but from this year forward it's my expectation that whatever talent comes to Washington will be coached up and moulded into football players that will carry UW to the highest levels. That's exciting stuff.
Does FS want to get on the elevator that's almost reached the top floor? Or take a chance on the elevator that's having performance issues, perhaps reliability problems ... and may not stay at the penthouse that it used to be accustomed to staying the last while?
