We? had a similar stretch last year

September 30 - 32-40 loss at UCLA (9-4). Pumped in crowd noise, bad tackling, couldn’t stop a 4.99 running WR tailor made for the “12’s”

October 8 - 38-45 loss at ASU (3-9). Calamity of errors, bad defense.

October 15 - 49-39 win vs Arizona (5-7) at home. Bad defense, couldn’t just put them down when they needed.

October 22 - 28-21 win at Cal (4-8). Struggled to score in the redzone and even trailed at one point IIRC. Led 28-14 in the fourth and couldn’t put them away. They rallied and had the ball for one last drive when time ran out.

October 29 - BYE

November 4 - 24-21 win vs Oregon State (10-3) at home. Needed a long drive on a dirty rainy night you’d generally only find in Gorst. Gave up another weird pick six where it bounced off someone and right into the hands of a Beaver defender.

Those five games I hated this team, it wasn’t fun and it was frustrating as hell.

Most of us had no confidence going to Eugene yet look what happened. Wasn’t a perfect game but in all reality Oregon (10-3) had to play perfect to beat the Dawgs that day and they didn’t.

Winners Win.

Let’s go in dry on USC
 
Did DeBoer's Fresno St teams play like this too? Or is it just a DAWG thing?

Good question. Without being a Fresno Doog I can look into it and get back to you on the pod

Fresno leaned on Haener with as many as 65 passes in a game, but production wasn't as pass heavy as UW '23. Even beating UCONN 45-0 they still threw one more pass than they had running plays, and over course of year plays were about 40 passes to 34 rushes per game, with yards 70:30 in favor of passing.

Dont know how to really comment on Fresno D. They were ok for that league, and better when the offense put a lot of pressure on the opponents.

Fresno showed signs of life in the weird '20 half season, but mostly people saw a team that went from 11 losses in '19 to 10 wins in their next full season, 2021. Almost no one was going to bitch after that kind of improvement...not entirely different to how most UW fans felt after '22, I suppose.
 
We were the luckiest 11-2 team last year. You run it back 10 times and more often than not they go 9-4.

 
USC is going to put 50 up on UW. Penix is going to have to have his best game of the year to win. No more turnovers and no more dumb penalties. This team has been gifting two td's a game to the opponent the past couple weeks.
 
Oklahomo lost their dud yesterday. I like winning clunkers but during the game it sure is stressful
