Couple of thoughts about the LSU game before I pass out. Haven't got the stats yet, but I believe we outgained them. What? Our defense stepped up and shut down a top 15 team? That hasn't happened in a while. I think we rushed for more than 100 yards. That hasn't happened in a while. Our offense converted at least 9 of 11 3rd downs at one point, many of them looooong 3rd downs. That certainly hasn't happened in a while. We looked very, very competitive. That hasn't happened in a while, either.
God bless this new coaching regime, so far.
This Husky team looked infinitely better than the last one, and they're basically the same one. What a difference a staff change can be. Locker was more poised, more accurate, and still broke out some runs. Chris Polk was impressive, as was our defense. The secondary got burned twice, and Locker threw an ill advised pick-6, but other than that and some stupid penalties (and some stupid Pac-10 officiating) it was by all intents and purposes, a success.
Oh, how far the mighty have fallen that I would deem a loss a success. But seriously? A success.
I will go so far as to predict a win v. Idaho next week. Doesn't sound like a stretch.
Also, Nick Holt looks like the the Thing from the Fantastic 4. I like it.
