tee duke No. 1 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Currently handing it to Michigan State with Penix (formerly Indiana U) displaying a hot hand and the fuskies lines looking stout. The new head coach did a great job at his former school with a lot less talent. Hate to say it but at this rate they should be formidable opponents when the Ducks play them at Autzen in November. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year’s coach was incompetent and clearly over his head. They replaced him with someone that has actual experience running a football program and success with developing QBs. That being said, I have no idea what DeBoer’s ceiling is. He could get them 6 wins or even 9 wins, it’s tough to tell right now. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Haulin No. 6 Share Posted September 18, 2022 My brother is a huge Husky fan. Told him it was weird wanting Husky to win. They changed the the rule, right? Two best teams in the Pac. You know it was to give USC a chance. They wanted a south div title game. Ultimate backfire if it ends up being Duck v Husky. Ha Ha! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherOD No. 7 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Penix looks healthy and really appears comfortable in that offense. If he stays healthy, as much as I don't like to say it, I think the Huskies are going to be hanging around all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudslide No. 8 Share Posted September 18, 2022 The Dawgies have a potent passing attack with lots of creative plays not seen last year. Penix and the new coaches could make a difference in PAC competition this season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 9 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Look at the bright side everyone. The Huskies may have won but their final score does not look as impressive as Oregon's win. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will still tell if those rankings are correct. Those who followed Fresno State knew DeBoer was a home run hire by Washington. Can’t think of a P12 team that has improved more than UW . . . ugh, I just vomited in my mouth. My sister and I both played water polo. One year, my sister won the Most Improved Player award to which my parents said, "Isn't that great?" My snarky teenager reply? "All that means is that she sucked the most to start out with." Feels to me like the Huskies right now just sucked the most right at the start. Any improvement would make them MIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeotechDuck No. 11 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Washington has the 3rd most talent on any roster in the Pac and it is a balanced and experienced roster too. Now that have a good head coach. They are going to beat some people up. They have just as good of a chance to win this conference as Utah, USC or Oregon. It is goi g to be a fun year.

I would say the dawgs better be focused on the game the week before they come to Autzen. The beavs are the real deal too. The dawgs have one good win at home. They also play the cougs in Pullman, our next big challenge. Glad we have Colorado on our schedule, and it looks like ASU is the other doormat, but we have Arizona instead. Should be an interesting season ahead. Lanning and team passed this test, we still own Autzen. The next challenge win a big one on the road. The good news is the weather looks to be pretty sublime in Pullman this weekend, won't be a factor. I suppose we are all lucky we aren't playing App State, what a team. So far their games have been worth more than the price of admission, way more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we will see how it fares on the recruiting side of things. The transfer portal can help but that's never a guarantee. MSU didn't get the boost from the transfer portal that they did from the previous year. The Spartans looked awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan State, has beaten the Zips and the Western Michigan Broncos at home. We don't know how good the Spartans are. I would add BYU was missing some players, so the jury is still out on Oregon winning at home too. This weekend should be the biggest test through our bye week. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Ducker1 No. 15 Share Posted September 18, 2022 The sad part of all this is that its possible that over the next 2 years the PAC could be the strongest it has been in a very very long time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington Waddler Moderator No. 17 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Deboer is an interesting offensive study. His masking, pre-snap motion packages coupled with an excellent OL and nicely tuned, productive quarterback and receiving corp get the ball quickly and efficiently to where they want it, thereby limiting the effectiveness of opposing front sevens. Admittedly, MSU’s DBs looked B1G lost in their attempt to solve yet another west coast passing puzzle. It will be interesting to observe how the hydrant whizzer’s passing attack fairs down the road with the availability of more film room tape, and having to face better DB groups more accustom to the targeting strategies of west coast air raid offenses. Deboer is a bit of an unknown right now. That won’t last long because he’s got everyone’s attention now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
