Who would be your choice for the next Oregon HC?Been watching your team all year. Greatness as usual. Big time Tide fan on your next game. Eviscerate Washington. Roll the Huskies!

do they have fake girlfriends too?Washington's D reminds me a bit of ND circa 2012-13. Big, slow linemen. Usually adequate LB's and DB's that can be outmatched physically. Better comparison than AU this year, IMHO. Good points, Bill.
Saban would be my first choice. But that will never happen. I'm really hoping for PJ Fleck. He's a great recruiter and turned around a program on the rocks.Who would be your choice for the next Oregon HC?
USC had better athletes. Period. 3 of 4 DL starters are just run pluggers. They have a couple of good athletes there and a few undersized as well. They are good but not great.Washington's defense is a top-10 unit. You don't get the 8th best scoring defense in that league by being big and slow. They move around pretty good in my opinion. They have like a bunch of defenders who are NFL players. They grade out well as a rush defense and USC didn't really bullyball them on offense either. USC did it by being effective in the passing game with explosive plays and converting on 3rd down better than most teams against Washington.
This is the kind of team that I think we've got to be able to attack inside and off-tackle in the run game. Preferably, get Scarbough 1st half touches and pass off the play fake.
Can they run the ball? If they can't stop our run their QB will do a lot of bench setting. It's gonna be up to us to play mistake free football. Lastly... How deep is their bench? Are their 3s strong enough to contain us?I mean, I ain't arguing in the mind that he's gonna put up Watson passing numbers on us but they're very competent as a passing offense and they have a coach who is one of the best at scheming you into the wrong answer for what they're trying to do on a given play.
We're gonna need a great day on defense and the offense not throwing away points, putting the ball on the ground, and going three and out too often.
Welcome back to the board bltzkrieg.Saban would be my first choice. But that will never happen. I'm really hoping for PJ Fleck. He's a great recruiter and turned around a program on the rocks.
Additionally there is a lot of time to develop some new plays - that cuts both ways. The first couple of drives may look a mess on both sides. Boom or bust. Scripted series that have equal chances to befuddle the defense on a look they haven't seen before or collapse due to the play being run for the first time in live fire.There are so many on here that rag on Kiffin about his play calling, and then Coach Saban yells at him and then Kiffin does what Saban wants.
I believe that is how it happens by about zero percent.
Coach Saban has his imprint on ever single facet of the game. He doesn't call the offensive plays, but he does approve the strategy and offensive game plan.
He has given Meyer, Dabo and Peterson so many different looks. Some weeks lots of sweeps and Jalen running. Other weeks no sweeps no Jalen running. Some weeks mid range passing, some weeks heavy dose of the RBs...
None of that is by accident, all by design
I think against Washington, you see lots of OJ and Ridley deep. I think you see lots of PAPassing. Fewer jets....perhaps even some fakes off of jets early, screens going the other way like Ridley and Cam vs Florida. Save Jalen running for a final.
We also hit a helluva lot harder than we did in 2008.The undersize line reminds me of when we played Utah. Undersized usually means faster and that's probably where the athleticism comes in. They have excellent WR's and QB but I don't really think The Huskies have the depth to hang with us in the 4th qtr.
With this SOS in mind, here are some stats. Just displayed #1-50Possibly - hard to know for certain when it's against the 60th toughest schedule in FBS.
Easy with the kindness there boss, the only forums of their's I've found are restricted access :biggrin:We've had several new registrations of UW fans, so maybe we'll get more from the other viewpoint...
Although I don't doubt for a moment that there's a big gap in SOS, looking at the records of some of their opponents, true SOS can't really be determined until after the bowl games, and even then there's the comparative score problem. I think there's general agreement that the SEC is somewhat down this year, but we won't really know by how much until we see how they fare against quality OOC opponents. That and the playoffs will tell us a lot; I hope by producing Bama as the NC again...With this SOS in mind, here are some stats. Just displayed #1-50

FWIW
I noticed that as well. I figured the posters must be mainly a bunch of college students/millenials. The profanity/constant references to genitalia were just outrageous. Needless to say I won't be posting over there.I went to one of their message boards to try to get a feel for them. Maybe you have to be a regular there to "get it", but nothing even made sense there.
Between that and the rampant profanity (not a prude, but putting it in every post just because you can is just low class) I am very proud to be a member of Tide Fans.
