We chose this play because it highlights what our defense can do when we don’t have a glaring weakness to exploit. Now you might ask yourself, “well why did you include this play in Film Study?” Great question. Our LBs were flying to the ball and plugging gaps in a manner that we hadn’t seen since September. For whatever reason (I suspect it was our improved health in the secondary with Asa Turner and Kamren Fabiculanan returning to the line up), our defense played lights out early against the run. One would’ve expected them to lean on those advantages, but that simply wasn’t the case. Oregon’s entire offense revolves around getting their shifty offensive weapons the ball in space or behind a convoy of road graders up front. We haven’t been all that strong against the run, and we haven’t been great tackling in space. The defense was playing fast and loose against an Oregon offense that conceivably should’ve had the blue print and talent to exploit our known weaknesses.įor the second half of the season, I’ve had to come here to Film Study and talk about how our defensive game plan revolved around hanging on on early downs long enough to catch offenses in passing situations. On the first few Oregon possessions, as well as at other points in the game, it looked like we turned back the clock, and we were playing with the swagger of the Death Row Dawgs defense. Actually to the film this time.įirst up this week, we wanted to talk about the strong defensive performance. Another win over Oregon means another spicy Awgs on this week’s Film Study. “SAY WHO? SAY WHAT? SAY WHO SAY DAWGS AIN’T BAD ***” Until then, soak it all in Husky Nation!! The magical season continues as next up is a date and rematch with Texas in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day in the playoffs. Everyone and everything were firing on all cylinders: the long bomb throws were back, the defense stood pat, and the line of scrimmage was dominated on both sides of the ball. The (under)Dawgs played arguably their best game all year and coincidentally enough, they were the healthiest they have been in awhile. In yet another college football classic, your Washington Huskies take down the Oregon Ducks for the second time this season to claim the final Pac-12 Championship and clinch a berth in the College Football Playoffs.
