Well good game guys.

Kind of the story of the Huskies year... cept in the 4th quarter we said screw it and opened up the playbook. Ya'll may have let the foot off the gas a bit, but I have a hard time believing there weren't Husky WR's somewhat open over the middle until the 4th quarter. What you saw there was UW's offense for much of the 2016 season. It's a shame we play so conservative all the time.

I figured you wouldn't blow us out... and I'll take a 5 point loss. I was pretty close in predicting the final score.

Haskins was quite good when we sent nobody and he picked apart our zone... he looked not so good with someone in his face... we started blitzing in 4th and it finally threw ya'll off... again, a bummer it took so long to figure out you can give him 6 years to throw the ball.

OSU hit on too many broken coverages over the top... kudos to a hurry up passing offense that kept us off balance.

Rapp not playing killed us... McKinney was absolutely brutal... 2 TD's came off him not diagnosing a route, buying Haskins' eyes and getting to the eventual catch too slow.

It was great to have you on the board, hope you stick around.

If it weren't for the CFP aspirations, I'd say "Let's do it again next year, same bowl, etc."

This morning, worst day of the year, is also one of the worst days in Buckeye history. It's the first day without any Ohio State football and the first day without Urban Meyer.

Melancholy doesn't do it justice. Beautiful way to go out yesterday but now the sadness is creeping in. :so:

The whole board is filled negativity tooday, Did we lose in the Rose Bowl. slappy.gif

We had heavy rains and flooding yesterday and it took out our electricity supply until three hours after the game. I watched the game this morning and am so very proud of those players. This was a year of true adversity. They belonged in the CFP and everyone knows that now. Coach Urban Meyer hands over a machine to Coach Day. It has been an honor to have him as the Buckeye coach. May he have a long association with the University.

“OHIO STATE'S AS GOOD AS ANYBODY” – WHAT WASHINGTON COACH CHRIS PETERSEN HAD TO SAY FOLLOWING HIS TEAM'S 28-23 LOSS TO OHIO STATE IN THE ROSE BOWL

101228_h.jpg


After watching his Huskies fall behind 21-3 at the half in a Rose Bowl they'd eventually lose to Ohio State, 28-23, Washington coach Chris Petersen had no problem shouldering the blame for his team's start.

“Tough one,” Petersen said following the game. “Very frustrating when you start the first half like we started. I had no idea why. It's on me. It's not these kids. They practiced hard. They're ready to play. But we really didn't play with that edge and that chip that we normally play with, really, just, you know, across the whole squad.

“I don't know, being off that much time, it just didn't seem the same. I'm proud of them. A few adjustments at halftime, but really more than anything, just an attitude adjustment, make a few plays. And that breeds excitement when you make a few plays and kind of feed off each other.”

Petersen's team concluded a successful three-year run that saw his team rack up 32 wins, two Pac-12 titles, a College Football Playoff berth and his first Rose Bowl, but come away with losses in the final game of each of those three seasons.

Asked how he felt about that run, there was disappointment, but high praise for the Buckeyes.

“When you play the three teams we just got done playing the last three years, and there's very little margin for error, and you have to play your best football,” Petersen said.

“And, I mean, I think Ohio State's as good as anybody out there. I think they could have been in the tournament, the four-team tournament. I think a lot of people think that. I just think it's frustrating for us, when you feel like you didn't put your best foot forward the whole entire four quarters. And so that's what it comes back to, us coaches to figure that out.”

Asked about the decision to punt, down 28-17 with four minutes to play, a decision that was questioned by many watching the game, Petersen said his team had the option to fake the punt, but Ohio State's alignment thwarted that.

“Yeah, we were going to go for it. And then if we didn't convert, we don't want to put our defense in such a bad situation there, we actually might have had a little something else going on there in terms of the punt. But they lined up not -- the punt return team lined up not how we wanted them to.

“So we had to kick it out of there.”

Yeah, I do think Ohio State can be as good as anyone; however, they seem to have one major flaw in "consistancy". They aren't consistant in always playing at their best every game for every quarter (and probably no team is). They seem to play up to or down to their level of competitiion. Ohio State played like "world beaters'' against Washington for 3 quarters; then slacked off in the 4th quarter thinking the "game is in the bag".

Successful season, yes. That doesn't mean there isn't anything to be concerned with. We managed to underachieve and play uninspired ball much of the season. It was continuation of the trend from 2017 and was mostly bouied by Haskins, who likely won't be back. We got every title we wanted except one so this was successful, so no complaints and I'm stoked about it. But despite the results I don't leave this season feeling like we're on the upswing yet to being that team that not only wins a lot of games, but is dominate enough to match up with any other team in the country.

To cheer myself up, I just think about how empty and sad TSUN fans must feel now by comparison. Wait, no they are just as arrogant today as they were at 11:00 AM on November 24. Nevertheless......
