Kalen Deboer preaches about living in the moment. But he interviewed for the Alabama job in Houston during prep for the National Championship game. Maybe that's why his offense laid a turd.
To try and take a victory lap after you were wrong nearly the entire season shows what a small person you are who lacks an ounce of character. Very bad look.
Deboer interviewed with Alabama in Houston before National Championship & staff & players got wind of this. It greatly affected their performance in the National Championship Game.
Alabama AD Greg Byrne had a year’s notice that Nick Saban’s legendary career could be nearing an end. The gravity of telling his players wasn’t lost on Saban in the minutes before he walked into that team meeting room. Kalen DeBoer “couldn’t say no.”
Penix is
#1
in nation in Expected Points Added. Nix 11th. Penix average depth of target is higher than all other Heisman contenders & nearly twice as high as Nix (who is 133th/143rd). It's a crime against football to include these two in the same conversation.

Thank you. We will get this under control due to work of Dr. Schwartz & others. It makes me furious to see people not taking this seriously. Just stay home & go for a walk for a month. It's not hard. It's going to save lives. Its not the flu. Its 10x as deadly & 2x as contagious
Husky Nation, your job is to make this game one of the Top 5 Home games of all time
1. USC 1990
2. Nebraska 1992
3. Miami 2000
4. Stanford 2016
5. Michigan 2001
This guy obviously hasnt been a fan for long. Mike Belotti is on record that Washington was the model they were going for after the mid 1990s.
Beautiful thing......lolololol
UW has recruited
#2
Defensive class in 2019,
#8
OL Class in 2019-2020,
#1
QB in nation in 2021. You will have everything here & will compete for a national championship. Leave a legacy here that will last for generations.

Met Dillon Johnson's family at the UW Warm Up, which by the way had incredible attendance & energy. Just packed. I told them Dillon was great against Oregon & we'll need that again today. His Mom, very warm and engaging lady, said he's definitely ready.
In the Playoff Era (2014-2023), Washington has been the 8th best program.
Going by National Titles, Playoff Wins, Playoff Appearances, Conference Titles, & NY6 Bowls.
Had we beat Michigan, would have been the 5th best program over that period.
Rewatching Game...
-Huge play by Ale on 3rd and then Powell on 4th (preventing WR from having outside leverage)
-Dillon Johnson is really good
-Missing Jalen McMillan hurts our ceiling on offense but Giles Jackson had a strong game. Without his effort, its a loss.
With Jalen McMillan at 100%, UW's offensive performance, in every game, adjusted for opponent strength, was above 95% percentile.

12-0 by itself is incredible considering no Pac team has done it in 13 years. But consider the huge adversity this team has faced. Worst injury luck in 8+ yrs. 5 starters missing nearly the entire league season. Entire team catches the flu mid season. Heisman QB playing hurt.
Disappointing end to an incredible season. Very special group of players who accomplished so much. Deboer is a unicorn coach. Keep him for 10 years & we will have a few more cracks at it. This was our 1984/1990 for this generation. Another 1991 is in our future with this coach.
I feel terrible for the players. I love Pete but he handed the team off to someone who burned down everything. They aren't getting the experience they were sold. Pete definitely bears some responsibility in this fire.
You know what is rare?
A Pac-12 team going undefeated in league play. UW is about to be the first in 13 years. That's one out of 156 teams.
What's also rare?
Only 3 teams in the last 32 years have gone undefeated in reg season. UW is about to be the 4th out of 346 teams.
Oregon is currently
#1
in the PAC-12 in both scoring offense (46.5 PPG) and scoring defense (16.7 PPG).
Rarely do you see a team this dominant on both sides of the ball.
I like the Beavers and 6 in the Sun Bowl today and Beavers on the money line at +190. Oregon State has never lost to Notre Dame. Only two games, but they’ll make it three today. Rev up the chainsaws.

I can't recall us even sniffing a comeback down 10 since Locker days. Very meaningful win for Jimmy & young team. We've been losing close games we should win. Great to make a huge comeback & win a game we shouldn't have won. New attitude & confidence. Young guys will only improve
The big Michigan narrative is they were built to beat this style of team and we are Ohio St of 2021 and 2022.
Serious question. If thats true, why were their closest games against two passing offenses (both of which are nowhere close to UW)?
Days away from National Championship game and Kim Grinolds posting on Husky Football board about Sark being extended. This guy runs UW's 247 & isn't even a real Husky Fan.
Good things Jimmy Lake did
3. Recruiting Byron Murphy down to the last minute
2. Building, developing DB U & Death Row D
1. Assaulting your own player, which led to your firing, which led to hiring of unicorn HC Kalen Deboer.
The Athletic has story about 2010 Auburn. Its a strong comp for UW.
Auburn had a MVP transfer QB, lots of close wins & D that was nails in the 4th.
Auburn's FEI was

This UW team is

Kalen Deboer at UW is 4-0 as an underdog against Top 20 teams on road/neutral site.
Avg +10 ppg vs. spread
Peak outperformance of spread in middle of these games was +24, +19, +13.5, +26.5
The drawback with Fisch is he has only done it once. But he led a spectacular turnaround at Arizona, has significant NFL experience & has great eye for talent. Will stop the bleeding.
Nearing my home I rounded the corner and noticed two black athletic dudes on the corner. Halfway down the next block I realized who they were. I stopped the car, leaned out the window and yelled "Go Huskies." Julius Irvin & Cam Williams yelled back. "Yes Sir"
3 players helping this team peak at the right time....1) Levi O, he's becoming a beast. The next 1st round DL out of UW? 2) Hunter Bryant- his return has been huge and given the offense a much needed jolt. 3) Joe Tryon- breakout performance with 2 TFL's. Heat from the edge!

UW D far more battle tested, while Texas D is not & has to face best offense in the country.
Softy asked Petersen about fans going after players and coaches. Interesting response from Pete:
"Show me a fan base that doesn't do that. They probably aren't real fans. That's the nature of sports."
My takeaway from that game is Jonathan Smith is building a nice program at Oregon St. It's an ancillary thing but if you look at what he & Justin Wilcox have done (part of Pete's tree) it bodes well for Jimmy Lake, who is at a place with greater resources.
It's stuff like this that makes CFB great. You never see this in an NFL stadium. A great Husky Tradition that spans generations & informs the viewer that Husky Stadium is fun.
"Finding ways to win" is such a backhanded compliment. Tired of hearing it.
UW has been better than every team its played. Last 8 games, count the time its been behind in 4th q or second half. Its miniscule.
Last 6 games, was behind in 4th quarter only 2 mins.
Last 2 seasons, record vs Sagarin Top 30
Georgia 9-0
Washington 8-1 (8-0 vs top 25)
Alabama 9-3
Michigan 6-1
Texas 8-5
Ohio St 5-3
Oklahoma St 6-4
LSU 6-6
Oregon 5-4
Lance Leipold won 6 National Titles at Division 3 school. Then led Buffalo to their 3 best seasons in 34-year D1 history. Just led Kansas to 2 best seasons in last 15 years & won 9 games for only 3rd time in last 55 years.
"UW lost 9 starters on D"
Here's a rough starting lineup. 8 of the 11 have started multiple games and played a lot. 42% of snaps played return.
DT- Taimani
DT- Levi
DT/Buck- Benning
LB- Tryon
LB- Welly
LB- Sirmon
CB- Taylor
CB- Dom/Kyler
CB-Molden
S- Bryant
S- McKinney

@UW_Football
, here is what should be in your bio:
Home of 4 National Titles, 17 Conference Titles, 15 Rose Bowls & NCAA Record Longest Unbeaten Streak.
Today is the 26th Anniversary of the Whammy in Miami. Without a doubt, one of the greatest performances in husky history. (My top 10 list to come). Washington won 38-20, ending Miami's NCAA Record 58 game home streak.
There's some smoke in underground circles of Bob Stoops & Washington. We know that Pete & he are friends & Pete is almost a de-facto AD for UW. Stoops has the itch to get back into coaching. He coached in the XFL & is doing TV. The safe bet is he has at least considered UW.
