Why wait til the mid 4th? What do you consider a blowout? Down by 30, 40, or 50+? If we are down by over 30 after the half we need to consider keeping our starters healthy. There are bigger fish to fry than keeping a blowout under a 30-40 Point spread.
Washington is not a winnable game. They are not a G5 team. The are not a bottom feeder P5 team. They are a legit FBS bowl game contender that was ranked in the top ten. You cannot compare Washington to any of those teams on that list.
I hope we can still compete against their 2 and 3rd string players but at what point do we get our backups in the game to get just as important experience?
We need to pull our starters after the first half if we can’t keep it close. No need to get all beat up for a meaningless game. We need to stay healthy for Sammy because that game is critical for the rest of the season.
The more football I watch the more I am giving our defense a pass for a poor first quarter. It’s tough to know what an offense is going to come out with to start the year. Are they going to run a similar offense or is the new coaching going to change it up completely. I have a feeling that this will not be a common theme going forward this year as we play team with more and more film. I can’t wait for Sammy.
293 rush 225 passing, we should have had over 400 passing if not for the dropped balls. Our QB can easily bring up our passing to over take the rushing if needed
