Hardcore Husky Podcast: The Ohio State Game felt a little Sarky

[WoolleyDoog]

Haha. I dooged on the LSU game man while also understanding that it was far from all roses and I think the bar should have rightfully been much lower back then. We were coming off 0-12 and it was Sarks very very very first game. The 2009 team's previous two home games had been bad losses to losing ASU and UCLA teams.

 

[haie]

There is a Barstool guy that is a UCLA self-deprecon that predicted Washington would win 9 or 10 games this year based on Jedd's Arizona jump from 2022 to 2023. 5 wins to 10.
You can also compare this season to like a 2015 Petersen year where the wins didn't describe the talent and development that was preparing for 2016.
For your next episode I'm curious if you think that there is any resemblance to this progress at all or if we're just looking at a 6-8 win coach that is just limiting himself on game days, when his talent could be used by a Petersen or DeBoer to accelerate the progress.
Of course, we'd have the Maryland outcome by then and most of this would be answered if we lose.

 

[WoolleyDoog]

It's right that I think the next 1-3 games will say a lot more. Right now I feel like Jedd is a 9-10-win coach probably at a program like UW most years and could do a little more than that depending on schedule.

No matter what people think of the OSU game, UW can't afford any more injuries to key starters.

Does Durfee qualify as a key starter?

It was Sarky. Both Fisch and Sark are 0 fers in the redzone against notable genius Matt Patricia.

Lol. It was Sarky in the sense that Sark scored one more point on that Ohio State defense, with the preseason Heisman favorite at QB and a roster of 5 stars.

@Joey had a profound comment during the pod. He said, "We need a head coach who cares more about the program than we do."

Basketball might have that right now. Tough to find. Most people are just looking to move up.

I can't think of a single serious candidate that has any sort of connection to the program or area that would fit this mold. Convincing someone like Matt Campbell to be like do a Petersen thing where you take a stab at doing your thing at a bigger but not as intense program might be the closest option.

As @Doogles says to me, "your boy Matt Campbell"
LOL

Trying to think of the last time the Huskies didn't score a TD @ Husky Stadium, had to go into the record books:

Sark's 2nd year, a 41-0 obliteration at the hands of Stanford.

I'm not understanding the narrative of, "UW proved vs OSU that they can hang with the best teams in the nation." Right, losing by 18 at home as 7.5 dog and not getting in the endzone proves that.

My dad and I left Husky Stadium at halftime and went to the Lake Union Bar and Grill to watch USC vs #1 ranked Oregon

 

[WoolleyDoog]

I think we talked about it on the pod, but unfortunately I saw that Francisco Villar was reffing the Maryland/Wisconsin game so he's still around. If you watch the highlights you'll see an atrocious call where a Wisconsin player just takes out a Maryland player who made a fair catch call on a punt claiming the guy was blocked into him.
Chris Coyte is the dogshit former Pac-12 official who did the Ohio State game.

 

[whlinder]

Joe Gibbs did not win a Super Bowl in round 2 with the Redskins but he did win a playoff game which was more than any other coach under Dan Snyder. Fucking Dan Snyder. May he DIAFF.

Rich Rod also went back to WVU this year.

This is true, but the DAWGS had chances and looked like they could hang physically, which was never, ever the case with Sark. Not even close.
Jedd play calling and the wefs were a brutal combo. Clean some things up. PGOS said preseason 9 wins this year is the floor and the playoffs in year 3 is a must.
Losing to #1 doesnt materially change that, even if it was disheartening and I lost $200 on the dumbass DAWGS. I put too much stock in that 22 game home streak.
Buckeye defense is insanely good. I have never seen a defense tackle like that. They got everyone down at first contact, always.
They even held the 5 star version of Sark with a legitimate DC in Kwat to 7. And it was a shutout until 4 minutes left in that one.

I’ll be more concerned if we don’t score in the 30’s against Maryland. It’s a big failure to not score a TD, but Ohio State has the best defense in the country. I get that the game was 24-6, but if we scored a TD when it was 1st and goal from the 3 and kicked a FG, the game probably would have gone to the wire.

We had not played anyone, but I don’t think the early season offense was a mirage. We were absolutely shit on the road last year. This week is a big test.

Ouff, imagining a moral victory game.
Hypothetically, the Huskies could have made this game close. Hypothetically.

Two weeks ago many here were proclaiming rb.2 is an nfl back … I’ll continue to push back on that because I see zero evidence, he’s an absolute jag.
And someone mentioned Boston on tOSU being decent. Only the best wr room for 5+ years running and Boston is a jag with measurables. He’s officially a doog legend. His greatest claim to fame was being option #5 behind 3 nfl wr’s.

Well I think for the record I've been a pretty strong pump the brakes guy on a lot of that stuff. I'll LIPO more with Muhammad. He had a good return right before the half which I forgot about and gave us a good chance to get points. He seems like a guy who is great when he gets a giant lane but not much else.
It's still never completely clicked with me with Boston. It was not a good matchup for him going in though with nothing but freshmen WRs around him and the best safety in America back there to scare UW from throwing at him. I have had concerns about him and Demond not have a connection too. I remember Kearse went from Locker's go-to guy to a guy Keith Price couldn't find and it might have cost him getting drafted.

 

[Canadawg]

I was Boston's #1 doubter in the off season but I've been pretty impressed. Definitely more concerned that Demond won't throw the ball unless his receivers are wide open. Penix would be chucking jump balls at him 8 times a game and it would work

I just checked and DenzellBoston_#1Doubter is still available if you want it

 

[HFNY]

I still think Boston is an NFL WR and Mohammed is just a true soph. He looks like a late round NFL guy, more in size & speed than vision / quickness.
Boston would do better if he had Rashid Williams to take a little focus on him. Omari Evans isn't really a #2 WR and Roebuck is still just a true frosh.
I'd like to see DeGraaf involved in the passing game.

 

[WoolleyDoog]

I feel bad for Boston. I said several times going into the year WR was a big potential issue for UW because they had no one other than him. Not getting another proven decent WR in the portal was a failing. The Texas flunky guy has done things at Syracuse against their best competition and I see a ton of guys who came on our radar in the portal period producing other places. I was hoping Judd would find a Jacob Cowing at UW. Throw in losing Williams and we're relying on 3-star true freshmen.
We don't play anyone with talent like Caleb Downs/Ohio State in the secondary the rest of the way though or at least in that range until Oregon probably though so LIPO.

We? completely fucked the dog not signing Jordan Dwyer.

I don't think I've listened to one in at least a year. It's more my disgust with sports in general and now being a middling .500 team in the best conference with three legitimate top ten teams (maybe four with Hoosier…but let's wait before we crown them). I've also worked 44/46 days but I have some tim today. Hope there aren't hurt feelings. CS, Bill.
