Yet another late game for the love of football. I'm so over the every game is a late game thing we have now.
We won't know until warm ups who the starting QB will be for UW. Price did practice on Thursday, but in an interview today he told Softy he isn't going to tip his hand on the results until game time. Will Miles get his first career start or will Price play? If it is Price at the helm is he going to be close enough to 100% to be of more value than Miles? Hell, can either of them play well enough on the road to get a win?
The problem here is Oregon State has actually done a better job against the run than the passing game and with Price out or not at 100% that hurts us no matter how good Miles is in the run.
On the other side UW is among the leaders in the Pac in passing defense, but will see two very tough passing teams over the next two games and that could change things for their rankings on that considerably.
There is no reason to really boil this thing down all that much. We know UW has a lot of talent and can show brilliance at times, but their road woes continue and the penalties keep piling up. There is no denying they have the talent to win this week, but can they play a complete game? Even with those penalties last week they would have probably still won without the turnovers. UW isn't in a position of having to play a perfect game anymore to beat good teams, however they can't give up cheap kick off TD's like the Stanford game, crap the bed on the lines like the ASU game, or give up not only 2 early turnovers, but also 11 major penalties in our last road game and expect to win. A turnover alone won't kill this team, but they can't keep having so many lapses in so many areas every game.
Both teams in this game have pride to play for if nothing else. State is on their own losing skid and we remember how desperate UW was to get off of theirs a few games back. UW can't afford to lose both of their last two games and not find serious problems in this recruiting class. Sark has to know it's time to shit or get off the pot.
