But But But according to the ok state fans, he wasnt 100%. Pretty funny how pathetic a lot of fan bases are. TT, atm, ou are the worst but apparently ok state belongs in that group to. They have a good team as evidenced but have zero pass game as evidenced in this game and the previous 7-8. When you ride the rb and he comes up against a good run d, its no ones fault you lost other than their strength couldnt match the front 6-7 (with rotations maybe 14) of Texas.1st team All Big 12 RB Ollie Gordon with 34 rushing yards. Lol
Cmon! That's awesome
Scores 29.4 points per game.
Defense held them to a mere 21 points. 8.4 points less than they normally score.
("But, but, but our 1908 defense would have shut them out.") (there's one in every crowd)
Or not. It’s pretty obvious what Washington is going to do.This upcoming playoff game against Washington will be Pete's greatest test.
And what would that be? Other than throw a bunch of passes, especially deep...Or not. It’s pretty obvious what Washington is going to do.
As opposed to our offense not matching up against their defensive weakness?The concern is that Udub's strength is matched against the Texas defense weakness.
I agree, and I also see a shootout type of game.That is also true, but I thought this thread was focusing on PK and the defense. In the thread on the game I opined that this has a score along the lines of the 2006 Rose bowl (or Texas-ou 2008), with both teams scoring between 35-45.
At least that is what I hope happens.I agree, and I also see a shootout type of game.
I see our defense making more stops than UW's, and us winning because of it.
Watching the highlights of ASU v UW, this is probably the main reason a 1-6 ASU team almost beat UW, and in Seattle.tackle extremely well in space to limit yac
That's a likely outcome.I agree, and I also see a shootout type of game.

I dunno. I think he'll mix it up a lot--sometimes rushing 4 or 5 (or even 6), and sometimes only 3. I think we will keep 2 safeties deep as much as we can. We normally run a 2-deep safety, and by deep I mean deep, type of coverage anyway. The safeties (and linebackers) need to be in the film room A LOT this month. They're going to need to make the right choices on where to go and whom to cover. Washington's vertical passing game is treacherous. (and if there's one thing we're not that great at, it's defending the deep pass). Our LBs have to recognize what their TEs are doing. UW uses its TEs effectively.Chop
What pass defense do you think Sark and PK will run?
Also, Penix is not known as a runner, so we may not have to worry so much about staying in our lanes, and containment, on the pass rush.I dunno.

I think PK will dial up some unusual blitzes and pressures, and things they haven't seen in our film yet. Penix is super accurate, but he can be confused, and is only so-so under pressure from the pass rush. See the ASU game tape.
As stated upthread, making tackles in the open field, and limiting YAC will be a critical factor against UW. Their WRs are on-par with ours, and they're bigger.
1. Keep the pressure on Penix, rush him
2. Make the tackles promptly after catches; limit YAC and big gains
Do that, and we hold them under 30.
Do that, and catch a few breaks, and we hold them to the low 20s.
Steve and the O are responsible for scoring 30+ against the Dogs' weak defense. (maybe 40+ if we break a lot of tackles). Steve and his frequent passes to the flats, coupled with our really good RBs and WRs, are tailor made to torch this Husky defense.
If it's close, it's a good thing we have Bert kicking our field goals.
We score 40 we should be golden.
I think you may be onto something there. If not vs. Washington, then vs. Michigan in the finals.I think Auburn's kicking accuracy may be the difference.
Penix may not be a runner but he does extend plays by moving out of the pocket. They will need to force him to his right.Also, Penix is not known as a runner, so we may not have to worry so much about staying in our lanes, and containment, on the pass rush.
Yep. He's a Southpaw.Penix may not be a runner but he does extend plays by moving out of the pocket. They will need to force him to his right.
