I try to be tasteful, and if they pick a good one for themselves I let them run with it. For instance @wazzu31 chose the seal from the university. I like that, it confuses people, I often get a "Wait Stanford is a JuCo?".

I'm sure I don't have to tell you how frustrating it is to see the same 5 or 6 plays ran over and over all night. Petersen/Smith had a much more dynamic game plan and called the game quite well, particularly in the second half.


IF I were a coach/OC Whiz...IF my offense couldn't run the basic 5 or 6 plays of the gameplan, why would I give them anything more to think about? Run those base well and the O will get rewarded w/ some new "strange" or variations of the base O. WUB has progressed and new plays are run. Same goes w/ my team down south, were stuck on 4 plays now. You get my thinking here.

As for OC JS, gotta take the "baby steps" first, walk next and the run fast when all the O pieces come around.

Huskies are coming together for everyone to see at this point in the season. Be patient and "it" will come in the form of wins.

While the Huskies played a near perfect game last week, I'm not overly optimistic about the Utah game and the point spread. Our offense has been abysmal in many games this year and is still not ready for primetime.

Love the Husky defense. The Seahawks have made a lot of the NFL respect how a great defense can be just as important as a good offense again. The NFL rules are designed to augment scoring for ratings and ESPN highlights, so it's been amazing watching what Pete Carroll built here. Fans around here can appreciate what the Husky D is achieving.

But for Utah, they play great physical ball on both sides of the field. We can lose this one easy if the offense can't establish itself. Many times we don't even show up till the second half and it's way too late. Slow start for our O this sat and Utah makes it a 2+ score lead by halftime, odds are we lose...badly come final score.

I do almost like their chances better on the road at ASU than Utah at home, but really with a young team it's really hard to predict what you are going to get game to game.

The zona game really doesn't tell you much about what to expect in those. They did have one of the top offenses in the league, but doing it very differently than any other school we have left. Utah's running game is top notch and I'm just not sure where UW's run defense is right now.

No ifs, ands, or buts. Bring it all and bring it early.

Rated 5* by Rivals and the #2 receiver in the nation. Should interest a top QB looking for a place to set records?

Same here. We need the Yutes to lose one . Gonna have to hold my nose and root for UCLA when they play if I have to.
I don't think many people realize if the Utes lose 1. SC is very much in the south. Provided they continue to play to their potential

North
Stanford:
Can afford 1 loss.
Oregon: Win out and have Stanford and Washington State lose 1 more each.
Washington State: Win out and have Stanofrd lose out. If Stanord wins just 1 more WSU is out.
Cal: Needs to win out and have Stanofrd lose out. If Stanford wins just 1 more or if Cal loses 1 more, they are out.
Washington: Is now out with Stanfords last win. The best that can happen is both teams finish with a 6-3 conference record. Stanford beat Washington already this year so they have the tie break over them. This is the last I will mention Washington.

South
Utah:
Needs to win out.
UCLA: Needs to win out.
USC: Needs to win out and have Utah lose 1 more.
Arizona State: Needs to win out and have Utah lose 3 more, USC to lose 2 more and UCLA to lose 1 more.
Arizona: Needs to win out and have UCLA lose 3 more, Utah lose 2 more USC to lose 1 more. If AZ loses this weekend they are out.
Colorado: Needs to win out and have UCLA lose 3 more, Utah and Arizona State to lose 2 more, have USC and Arizona lose 1 more.
Im not 100% on Colorado being eliminated with another loss this weekend or if someone else wins. I think they are still in it for another week no matter the out comes.
