Solid wins for sure, but at home and by close margins both. Let's see how that defense does when it comes to Montlake.
Browning's play is actually very predictable. If you guys can get pressure on him he'll struggle and look like shit, if you can't, he'll play smart and be accurate. You don't want smart accurate Browning. The run game factors into this equation too, but I wanted to keep it simple.
Maybe he will Gary Anderson himself
He's a vastly different QB at home.
That goes with everything else. It's not just he's better at home for home sake. Opposing defenses are typically better at home, so they have a little extra charge to expose our line and get to Browning. USC shut him down in Husky Stadium last year, they were good enough to not need the little extra boost. WSU won't be, is my prediction.
Well if you believe them Browning got his shoulder injury that game and that was really why he had a decline in that game and really through the end of the year. They just didn't talk about it until after the season was over.
I only kind of buy the shoulder thing. He looked great in the Arizona State and WSU games following the injury. It obviously had an effect, but he sucked in that game because he was either on his ass or running backward.
Ross for sure bailed him out and helped his numbers quite a bit, Browning is still very good though, he'll pick you apart if you can't rattle him. When they commit to the run and get their balanced game going, the UW Offense is still very good. The UW offense seems to get into trouble when you disrupt the game they want to play, I think that's really where Smith earns the critisicm. He can set up a game plan, but if the other team has an answer for it he struggles to adjust.
So it might be more of a game than the ass beating it was with Ross.
The comments at the bottom of that article are gold.
