I'm still LIPO with Taggart. I know Sark defenders talked about how TY left the cupboards bare, but seriously, Slingblade left Taggart with a 5th string running back and a reserve wide receiver/safety as backup quarterbacks. That still doesn't excuse the 49 point drubbing the defense took. I will say though, Slingblage gave up 52 last year at home to Stanford, and he had an offense with a pulse.
I still think this is a 7 win team. Which is what most reasonable quooks expected. Peterson lost a few times in his first couple years at UW as well, but I'll add that he never got blasted 49-7, but I'll also add that I don't think Taggart is on the same level as Peterson either.
In the end, LIPO. As log as they continue to improve year over year, I'm good with Taggart. Even with the issues the last couple games, I still see a better overall unit than I did at any time last year under Helfrich.
