I know there's lots of argument about whether our defense is average or bad. In itself, that isn't very promising. I'm glad the Ducks are at home. I'm going to be sweating this one because it's a classic case of one team being better than the other, but the worse team having a strength that matches the better team's weakness.

We installed a 3-3-5 specifically for the Zona game, and did a great job for the most part so I wonder if we do something similar this week. I think Penix is a superior passer to DeLaura but they both average 8.3 ypa and average mid 60s completion %.

The key in the Zona game was our ability to pressure DeLaura, and I’m hoping we can do the same against Penix.

I saw some analysis of this past week where they said Pennix was really struggling with zone coverages against OSU and that he sometimes gets impatient when the deep shots aren't there. I imagine Oregon's coaches see the same things and will try something very similar.

I can see us giving up a bunch of yards between the 20s, but buckling down and making them earn their yards the rest of the way. I dont think Washington can sustain 10-12 play drives throwing on every down. Each play is another chance for our Pass Rush to get home and put them behind the sticks.

If you want to hear a little of the opponent's perspective, here is a link to an interview Washington offensive lineman Jaxson Kirkland did with Dave "Softy" Mahler.

When facing the Huskies, never forget that this blob of a human is associated with the program. For those that don't know, this is Softy harassing Oregon fans years ago.

I have to admit I am entertained by Softy. He epitomizes obnoxious Husky fan, and since we have dominated them so thoroughly he is constantly pissed.

Ducks going all yellow just like the 2018 UW game.

Thought this was an interesting point about our defense in an article from The Athletic:

Oregon’s defense has played with a lead for 79 percent of its snaps since the Georgia game, which allows it to be a little more aggressive and develop depth. The issue contributing to the low stop rate (57.3 percent) is clear and fixable: third downs.

The Ducks rank No. 126 nationally in third-down defense, allowing conversions on 60 of 125 attempts (48 percent). The average distance they’re defending on third down has been 7.2 yards. The average conversion: 13.3 yards. No other Power 5 defense has allowed more conversions on third-and-5-plus this season, according to TruMedia. Opponents are converting in 40.5 percent of those situations against Oregon. The national average is 28 percent.

Hyth made a good point this week on QB11 podcast. Said the routes we have issues with between the 20, are routes that are much harder to run from the 20 in, which is why our D really locks down in the red zone/area.

After the Ducks lost at Ga Softy tweeted the following (remember this was back in Sept)


Mariners Win
Huskys Win
Oregon Clowned

We all win

I can hardly wait till about 8pm (hopefully) on Saturday to respond to this tweet. I've been waiting and hopefully my wait will be rewarded.

On a separate note, if that is Softy in that picture I am sad that I cannot unsee that. What a tool.

Pretty sure he also did something similar in a wine barrel also.
