Hardcore Husky Podcast: Release the Esteen Files!

I'm personally glad to hear you guys reporting that we aren't mathematically eliminated from a 12 team playoff after a 3 score win in the first game
Malarkey aside I do think UW is built to be the type of team many on here have dreaded playing as an opponent. In this game we realistically had a sketchy 1st half of the 1st game of the season but ultimately had a slippery mobile QB that could hit guys on the run. A running game that Fisch to his credit absolutely leaned into and didn't get cute with. Also defensively they allowed 7 points in the second half and 110ish yards. I see the ability to coach and adjust in that situation which is expected to be necessary and impressive to do in game 1 with no tape on this transfer heavy team.
If they can't get off the field in 3rd and 4th downs this year I will be only focused on that though

Accentuate the positive is what I always say
 
The Hatchett snap miscommunication to defensive bust was a 14 point swing right before the half.
But yeah, get off the field on 3rd and 4th and long. Nothing else matters and it's a UW program staple at this point.

Tough to do that without a pass rush.
Roman posted on X that CSU average snap to throw was 2.2 seconds
A lot of the QB’s missed throws were a direct result of having a guy pushed into his face. If he’d averaged 2.4 seconds snap to throw there would have been 3-5 sacks.

Which begs the question why Walters had the corners lined up 10 yards off the los
 
The only crazy CB cushion I remember was on a third and long on CSU's touchdown drive where Davis just basically gave the guy 10 yards and a TD. Not sure if they were doing it all game, but CSU rarely short routes to the WRs, so maybe it worked? I barely ever saw Prysock out there, in a good way because he wasn't thrown against.
 
I rewatched last night and the d line got way more push than I thought in the 1st half. The CBs just handed them short out repeatedly even though the QB needed to get it out immediately. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be as a dlinemen to get in to the backfield in 2 seconds and it's not fast enough
