Hell of a wake up call the first game was, and yet despite playing a FCS team they had better figure some things out fast or be in for an upset they might not recover from.
On the surface EWU looks challenging and rightly so. They are among the top of that level of competition and are 2-0 coming in after thumping some derp team two levels below them by 40 something points. Their QB passed for gaudy numbers and they should be pleased with their progress, but below the surface they are also very concerned. They had 5 fumbles in that game and committed 10 penalties.
They are no Hawaii coming into Husky stadium.
The offense will likely be different this week as Miles is almost certainly going to return to steer the ship. I know most of us are unhappy with the situation that happened around the SB celebrating and many will never like, root, or trust him again. In any event he clearly gives you the best chance to win so be ready to see him back on the field of play next Saturday. It won't be enough to just have Miles at the helm. That line needs to figure out what the coaches want them to do and be much more adept at doing it. While we all want to see more of Ross on go routes taking chunks of yards, you must wear down a defense that is drastically undersized compared to your own in the running game if you want to put your feet to their throats.
Special teams? Jesus coaching staff, start by having the right number of players on the field and getting the damned ball hiked on time. That would be great. And whoever you put back to take punts needs to take at least 50 more reps this week at it. Thanks.
Defense? In week 1 you saw a quality running back and a young QB that had success on 3rd down throws way too much, but they weren't going to the air much outside of that. This week expect your young DB's to have their hands full as eastern will throw it early and throw it often and they will be game planning for those young kids. We will learn a lot more about how ready Baker really is for conference play at this point. The front 7 really needs to take substantial steps forward in this new 3-4 set they are learning.
Really depends on who you blame for game 1 as to whether or not you think this team is ripe for a massive let down upset.
I'm not picking a final score as this thing is anyone's guess at this point. I do expect them to win, but until this staff proves it has those kids, particularly the vets, on the same page as them and working in sync I'm not ready to fully buy into it.
