1. The coaches were right; opponents do fake injuries against Washington to beat them. This was obvious on Saturday after Oregon wide receiver Josh Huff went down with a suspicious ‘injured ankle,’ only to come back in the second half to haul in a 65-yard touchdown pass that set the tone for the remainder of the game. He obviously wasn’t hurt if he could beat our secondary like a rented mule for that score or account for 216 all-purpose yards for the day. De’Anthony Thomas didn’t even play on Saturday and Oregon’s masked villain “Bane” (Colt Lyerla) quit the team the week before the game because they were both too scared to face our physical defensive front. Which leads us to point number two …
2. Oregon is soft. Fox Sports 1 announcer Gus Johnson said early in the broadcast that Washington coaches weren’t afraid of Oregon’s group because they felt the Huskies played a more physical brand of football. As famous New York Yankees broadcaster Suzyn Waldman emphatically says, “Goodness gracious!!” They couldn’t have been more right. Granted Oregon DT Wade Keliikipi pulled down a Husky runner, for a loss, with just three fingers — but that was only one play.
