Have to admit that I was once confident about this game but after thinking about it more and more their strengths are just bad matchups for our weaknesses. Their DL vs our OL, their OL vs our DL. Yikes... But I will be screaming my head off...
IMO we are going to have to start strong because over the course of the game I expect Stanford to gash us on the ground. If we can jump out to an early lead maybe they will pass more than they are hoping to
Nice defensive stand for the Dawgs on the first drive of the game. Stopped the run just well enough and Nunes missed badly deep. Exactly what UW wanted to do.
Defense gave a little ground but got off the field. Have to feel like it's a moral victory, but the offense has show it can hold up at the point of attack before anyone gets too optimistic. Stanford's front seven owned that first series.
Price gets free on the outside and breaks a big one, then Sankey rips off an 8-yard run. Offense is really clicking right now. Still in the hurry up, Sankey gets near the chains.
Defense is taking away the inside run. They're playing fast sideline to sideline, too. Trufant with an outstanding play on the deep ball, ripping it away at the last second.
Sark has outcoached Shaw, IMO... if you had told me our OL would be whipped as bad as it has been and it would be 6-3 i would have taken it in a heartbeat!!
Washington is going to have to protect at least somewhat better to have a chance in the second half. The defense is playing lights out but they can't do it all on their own.
