Huskies vs Hoooccchhheyes game thread

[D-train]

I saw the game with a bunch of Iowa fans, so naturally their take was about how well the Hawkeyes played, not necessarily how bad the Huskies were. A few things I saw that were not pretty:

1. On both O and D, the line play looked like boys against men. Andy Y. in the Seattle Times notes that in Jedd Fisch's first Big Ten game two years ago, in Iowa CIty, it was the same thing. (Andy Y. brings up that it was a wake up call to the Huskies 2 years ago -- hey, welcome to the Big Ten! -- but he worries that Fisch's Huskies have not developed in two years.) This doesn't seem like in-game coaching or schemes to me, but physical talent.

2. As others have noted, Desmond Williams holds the ball too long. Hard to say if the coverage by Iowa was or was not that good, but Williams and Brown both did better with quick developing pass plays. Also, it seems that Williams's passes come in hot. I think there were some legitimate drops, but I didn't think it looks like he throws an easy to catch ball.

3. How many TD passes did Iowa have to a wide open guy? Three? (Ok, at least 2.) On one play there was a second receiver trailing the primary guy by about 5 yards who was STILL wide open and, if the ball had gone to him, would have scored untouched. The Hawkeye faithful chalked this up to great play design. I saw blown defensive schemes. Really bad.

Ugly game for the Huskies.

1. I read that as well. Zero progress in two years. Dead smelly Fisch walking. He has to be fired. Especially after he said in the postgame that he need time to adjust to the B10. WTF?

2. Demond should never play another snap for our team. Bench him and let him transfer.

3. Absolutely embarrassing. I have never seen anything like it. Fire Fisch.

Weird how Chris Peterson wasn't as successful at UW as he was at Boise St despite having better players (BSU almost always won their biggest games whereas UW didn't under him), and now Fisch is not only doing the same thing but he's totally face-planting.

Fucking Kalen DeBoer. Losing him just killed the program.

I mean... how do you quantify success?

He made the CFP at UW and won 3x conference titles with powers like Stanford, USC, Utah and Oregon in the mix. Boise played in a joke conference.

He made BCS bowls at Boise, yes... but never competed for a National Title and despite winning the 2009 Fiesta Bowl and going undefeated... they finished 4th in the AP Poll... same as UW.

In all but his final season at BSU, his teams ALWAYS were up for games, virtually every single week. They whooped who they were supposed to whoop, almost never took an upset loss, and in their biggest games against top-ranked teams they almost always won and when they lost it was just barely.

With the exception of the playoff season you can't say the same about his tenure at UW, there were quite a few no-shows, especially against unranked opponents. I not only remember it well, but looked it up.

Idk man.

I don't think it's that different from Gonzaga playing in their conference.

They'd have many more close games if they had been in the P12.

Boise surely would have lost multiple games in the P12 even in Petersen's best year.
