As for our offense. I will make a paypal bet with ANY forum member right now that you will not come close to containing us. Price has been nothing short of stellar thus far. When Sark finally opened up the playbook after that conservative garbage against Eastern, the kid thrived. Polk had over a hundred yds againts a Hawaii D that held Colorados 1300 yd rusher to 25 total yds. We have a receiving core as deep as they come, and considering your secondary has dropped off from last year, I have a hard time seeing how youre going to stop us. This talk of domination coming from your fan base is just ridiculous. The only reason Eastern and Hawaii stayed with us is because our D coordinator can't scheme against the run and shoot. So unless your entire offense is going to change by Saturday, be ready for a game.

I had a friend who used to do acid, too. He said the trips were fun, but the return journey made him weep like a Washington fan remembering the 2008 season.

 

I, like you, agree that Price is the next coming of Tim Tebow (but with a way better delivery, am I right?) The way he has carved his way through these first two defenses is like watching a warm knife slice through brick, or a dull machete cut down light poles. Playing against these two teams was probably no more difficult than playing against the Washington defense in practice. But that is neither here nor there..

 

I would like to talk about domination, though, and it's clear Nebraska and Washington are such titans on the football field that there's no way this game won't go down as the game of the millenia, or Jesus-age. Especially Washington. I already have them as my sleeper MNC contender as well as the obvious Pac-12 champion. I heard Oregon conceded the season already, and Andrew Luck is starting for the Vikings next week.

 

Polk is a really good running back. He's especially impressive against a fresh football team in mid-September (17 carries for 57 yards..Heisman YES PLEASE). There isn't a night that goes by where I don't squeeze my penguin pillow tightly while thinking about all the championships Polk could have brought us. IF ONLY we would have scraped the bottom of the dust-bin a little more for that talent.

 

LOL, so your defense wasn't fresh after waiting 3 weeks for the Holiday Bowl? May want to find a new strength and conditioning coach...

LOL, are you sure you watched that game? Because it seems you forgot to mention how we basically spotted Hawaii 14 points when Price threw that pick-6 when we were about to go up 28-7, and how our punter gave them a last minute TD by literally kicking the ball straight into the ground. That game was nowhere near as close as the score suggests.

 

This is the same game where Hawaii outscored you in the fourth quarter as your guys were fading, the same game where Hawaii outgained you in the fourth quarter, and the same game where the onside kick rolled just inches short or Hawaii recovers - the same Hawaii Washington's porous pass defense couldn't stop late in the game... we're talking about that game, right? The game that you won by one score against the team that Sagarin ranks one spot ahead of Wazoo - that game, right?

 

Eastern and Hawaii gave us problems because we have a poor pass defense.

 

You have a poor pass defense like Charlie Sheen has a slight drug problem. You're the worst pass defense in D1A football. You're the Maginot Line of pass defense.

 

Thankfully for us, Martinez isn't exactly John Elway. When teams have been forced to run on us they have gotten absolutely nowhere. Hawaiis QB scorched Colorado for 150 rush yds, against us he gained a a whopping 15 yds. Football is about matchups, and both Easterns and Hawaiis offense are not a good match up for our D. Nebraskas, however, is built to play against our strengths. That's good news for Washington.

 

Go ahead and stick eight or nine guys in the box and see how that works out for you. Some names you'll be familiar with at about 2pm Pacific Time this Saturday: Kenny Bell, Jamal Turner, Quincy Enunwa and Kyler Reed. All of whom are faster than your DBs, all of whom have receptions longer than 40 yards this season. You think Moniz from Hawaii is a good passer? He's sitting at 6.55 yards per attempt passing this year. Taylor Martinez isn't John Elway, but he's sitting at 7.79 yards per passing attempt this year. If Moniz torched you guys, I can't wait to see what Martinez does.

See, here's where you're showing that you haven't been watching our games. We actually have changed our offense. Quite a bit. We fired our OC after losing to this terrible team we played in our bowl game, and replaced him with a guy running an offense that is much more Oregon-like than anything else. You remember the game you played against Oregon last year, right? Came down to the wire. Close game.

Hawaii outscored us 12-9 in the 4th quarter, their only TD coming off a miffed punt. And yes I conceded we have a bad pass defense, fortunately I'm not too worried about it going against Martinez, LOL. And yes, that Hawaii team. The one with the QB who had more passing yards than any player in college football last year. Rankings? Fresno State wasn't too concerned about them while almost taking you out. At least Hawaii has won a game this year....

 

I would be afraid of your receivers if Martinez had even a slight bit of passing skills. It's even more pathetic that he can't get the air game going with such weapons. Playing againts us will be no different. And hey genious, Moniz averages 6 yards per pass because the run and shoot invloves short passes. It's the entire point of the offense. LOL at that flying over your head.

 

How we played Oregon is now a legit argument for your chances? Your offense looks nothinbg like Oregons. Maybe because you don't have half the athletes, either way, I'm not worried.

Hawaii scored two touchdowns on you in the fourth quarter. Care to try again?

 

And how miffed was the punt? Really angry, or just slightly peeved?

What do you mean? If you think Washington doesn't have a solid shot at winning you must have missed Nebraska's first two games.

Washington has an outside chance of winning. Nebraska wins that match up about 9 times out of 10. Washington used their chance up already.

 

Washington is MUCH better than Chattanooga and Fresno State

Let's not get carried away now.

According to most doctors today, almost all injuries and ailments can only be cured in four weeks, one day and 17 hours. Clearly Nebraska didn't have enough time to face the might that is Washington.

 

In all seriousness, however, it's a well known fact that most teams (other than Washington) play in a tough conference. It's also a well known fact that a few teams (other than Washington) had to play an extra game in their season.

 

But, I digress. Clearly Washington is the favorite to win this football game and there's no way Nebraska can win. Unless Moses shows up, of course.

You're the Maginot Line of pass defense.

 

 

I laughed my ass off, but there's no way a UW fan with the name "purple drank" understood this.

 

Yeah, takes a Nebraska grad to be aware of cliche French military jokes.

 

No, just to appreciate it when they're directed at people who have actually invested time to search for a opponents' independent message board, hammer out a few sentence fragments, and sit back with a wet towel.
