Game Thread: Arizona @ #16 Washington

Im going out with friends to get drunkerer. Later fools

Later bro.

Boom.

4-0 as of tonight. Go Dawgs!!!!

Pretty meh effort by UW. If Arizona had a half decent qb then they could have really stuck it to them for letting them hang around. But fortunately Denker blows chunks.

Denker is awful. Well played, Huskies.

Maybe. But I'm okay with what I saw overall. The Defense contained Arizona's running game pretty well. Denker isn't good but I'm still okay with only giving up one score per half. Once the Offense got going they looked pretty good.

Sankey breaks the UW carries record tonight. Awesome W. I'll take it. Go Dawgs!!!

 

[OregonDucks]

why did Sark have Sankey run about 40 times when you got STanford next week...?

Because it was a f*cking monsoon out there... passing game (and, actually, the "snapping" game) was greatly affected.

couldn't be worse than what Eugene has right now. Marshall wont be carrying the football 40 times tonight, but that's because he scores every 3 times he touches it so I guess he doesn't need 40 carries.

Just got back from the game.

What we learned:
Mother nature is a bitch
5th yr sr QB > freshman QB
Sankey is a work horse that can carry the team in nearly any conditions.
Price didn't have a great day, but didn't make any major mistakes (the int was the WR's fault for bailing on his route).
UW's defense can contain a stud RB at home.
Welcome to the Pac12 Denker, now go back to the drawing board and learn to pass in the rain.
With Denker not able to pass putting a contain on Carey and a spy on Denker for his run severely limits their offense.
Arizona's defense still doesn't have the stamina and conditioning to stand up to another uptempo offense. They got tired by the end of the 3rd and it was obvious.
Pac12 Refs are STILL pac12 refs: Worst crews in the FBS. That PI call was one of the worst calls I've seen in a very long time.

What we don't know is how bad is Arizona. Their offense was way too one dimensional.

 

[OregonDucks]

UW big game is the next 2 weeks. Brutal stretch, Stanford and Oregon. By mid October, their season will be decided.

Because it was a monsoon in the first half and he had 28 carries in that half. It wasn't just raining it was a driving/pounding rain with very high wind. Sark said it was the worst conditions he had ever seen as a player or a coach and he played in the CFL in some pretty bad conditions.

They opened up the passing more in the second half after it had calmed down a bit and really backed off of Sankey. Besides, Bishop had only 4 carries for 77 yards last week and was pulled out to conserve him for this game.

As bad as Arizona's QB is (and he is god-damn terrible... I think he might be worse than Idaho State's QB), California is a much worse team than AZ... and its 41-0 in the 2nd quarter in Eugene; they should be pulling kids out of the stand to finish the game.

 

[OregonDucks]

much like you guys this game is in a monsoon. I hope they do pull everyone at this point being up 41-0 and keep the health.

I can attest to it being the worst conditions of any game I've ever attended... rain & wind-wise, at least. It actually wasn't that cold.

I wasn't under the roof so tell me about it. It was as bad as I've seen it in at least 20 years.

OcD, It isn't even near as bad right now in the oregon game as it was in the first half. Go look at the highlights. It was as severe as it gets for pretty much that entire half. It was just normal shitty in the second half.

Yeah, I didn't really think about weather when I picked my season tix... oops... we were as exposed as you could be.
Regarding Denker being an FR... I just read on the UW board that he is a JUCO transfer and actually a Senior, and that is just sad.

you sure? That sounds a lot like their QB from last year?

I haven't fact checked, but the Arizona fan posted it on our board and said he was the backup from last year.

 

[WizardHawk]

If he is a sr he is one of the worst I've seen in a long time. He is just bad. He couldn't hit on the little 5-7 crossing routes right in front of him. They need to go young. They'd get more out of it.
