we still will have a mediocre OL next year. More experienced, but not great on talent. And a talented but pretty new QB. Sark had many chances to give Miles experience this year, and did not do it. If ASJ goes, you lose his blocking and capabilities as a threat. People will focus more easily on Sankey. If he can stay healthy, he still will have an awesome year and I would love it. And the schedule points to 10-3 or above, even with some losses to graduation and the NFL.
I'm going to hope that a new coach will help the OL. Cozzetto coaching resume is so fucking spotty after he left ASU in 99. He hasn't done anything of note since then. I doubt Petersen will completely ignore the OL like Sark did either. There is no reason an OL full of guys going into their third year as starters should be anything less than a top 3-4 unit in the conference.
I'm not really worried about QB. I'm confident either Miles or Williams will be good. Price had a good year, but he was a little inconsistent. I don't think Miles was that far behind him this year.
I think the offense will be very good next year. I'm more worried about the defense, particularly the secondary. It's time to have a defense that shows up every game.
Your agenda against Price is clouding reality. Just like Hugh once you said he's not a good QB in the Pac-12 you have done everything to minimize how good he is and prop up his back ups. Shame on you.
If going 216-330(65.5%) for 2,843 yards(8.6 YPA) with 20 TD's and 5 INT's along with 5 rushing TD's to only one fumble is "inconsistent" then you just thought every UW QB season in history has been "inconsistent".
He played one bad game against ASU where let's be honest he shouldn't have even played. He was hurt and for Sark to have the game plan feature him was fucking stupid. Even the "god" Justin Wilcox gave up over 50 points and had his defense quit on him.
To say Price was inconsistent based on one game where nobody played good is a bit over the top IMO.
