The ABC game crew kept repeating that the Huskies couldn`t have expected to upset USC. WRONG! Husky Players, Coaches, and Fans BELIEVED that USC could lose this game and that Positivity built up all week and overwhelmed USC`s usual intimidation factor. Carrol, Corp and the rest of USC football didn`t have any Plan B when they realized the Huskies were going to fight them for every yard and every score. This win felt inevitable by halftime because Real Husky Football was back! Tough runs between the tackles, clutch possession catches and enough impact plays to keep Husky momentum and keep pressure on the opponent thruout the game. I am so proud of the entire Husky nation for not settling for the easy goal of a competitive game but instead daring to Expect To Win! It is time for all Husky negativity to disappear! No more complaining about the past! Let`s Celebrate the Husky Present and the Bright Husky Future! Personally, I`m gonna celebrate by finding every arrogant USC “fan” that laughed and insulted our program this week when I told them the Huskies were ready for the Upset! Husky Gear in SoCal all week baby! GO HUSKIES!!

hallelujah and holy shit! i do my best to keep it classy on this blog but please forgive me this one exception. i was a student from 05 thru 08 and i enjoyed two games that i deem as memorable (in the good way): the three td comeback against ucla and the big win over boise state. everything else fits somewhere into the horrible depths of the worst stretch of husky football in its history. this victory is better than the three best games combined.

i love it, love it, love it! husky football showed signs of rebirth the last couple of games, but this is irrefutable proof that the comeback is in full effect. without getting ahead of things, the huskies are 1-0 in pac-10 football, and the best team they’ll play is already
behind them.

many fans were worried by this year’s conference schedule which featured most of the winnable games on the road, and the toughest games at home. after tonight’s win, that attitude should be revisited. we now have the conference’s easiest run to the rose bowl!

i got to witness tonight’s (soon to be legendary) win first hand. i got to celebrate on the field. by god, i got to hug jake locker. i’ve been a relentless fan of the blog for coming up on three years now, and for once i feel good enough to brag about my team; about our team.

see y’all in pasadena

HUSKY FANS CELEBRATE!!!

Caught the end of this game. What a great win for your program. After last year’s struggles, this has to be a truly amazing feeling for you guys. Good luck on next week’s game, and especially for the one against Notre Dame afterwards.

Didn`t mean to spam the blog and i dont know see how to delete the extrd posts :(

Go Dawgs.

Great job for the Huskies. There is no better feeling than beating a highly ranked USC team.

Hope you guys do well, at least until our game.

Awesome is the only word I can come up with. Excitement galore battling back from much adversity.
In perspective the 1990-91 team games were actually boring as they were usually over in the first quarter.
My expectations are limited though as they have a tough row to how. Banged up USC gets the Coug-its. The Huskies are no longer underdogs.

I predicted a win against LSU and was wrong. But this win today makes everything as right as it could possibly be. Perhaps the best, most emotional win I can remember since watching my first game in 1951. I am so proud to be a Husky.

GO DAWGS!!! MUSH YOU HUSKIES!!!

Anything is possible now.

…what I can say is “WOOF!! baby WOOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” The DAWGS are officially back!

..unreal!! They get the game ball!

,,,was also back today! I haven’t heard it rockin’ like that in a long time! That my fellow DAWGfans was with ONLY 60,000 fans! But just about all of them bled PURPLE and that was the difference. Really it was give and take, with the crowd and the Husky Defense! They totally fed off each other!

We ARE 2-1 guys! Let that sink in for awhile! AND 1-0 in the Pac-10! WOO! HOO!

Do ya think this’ll help?!

Is there a HD replay on soon?

This game was AWESOME on every level. The coaching staff making quick adjustments that turned out to be AWESOME, Jake Locker made plays all day long and didn’t have any turnovers, Chris Polk ran extremely hard fighting for every yard, the defense playing their backsides off, what an AWESOME game.

Now that I’ve said that, I feel the need to be the voice of reason yet again. Sorry Crazi, we are not the #1 target in the Pac10, Cal probably is. Is a Rose Bowl possible, of course we are 1-0 in conference, is it likely, probably not. I hate to be the downer in the group, but we still have 9 games left to play, and their are going to be a lot of teams with a more balanced attacks that will really test our defense. I’m shocked that Pete Carroll wasn’t smart enough to test our secondary more, his “safe” play calling cost USC the game.

This is an epic win, our team and coaches did one hell of a job, and deserve to celebrate their triumph. But as of Monday morning, we are 2-1, we have a good offense and a suspect defense, we are not at the top of the conference YET. The sky is the limit, but their is still a lot of work to get to a bowl game, and a MAMMOTH amount of work to win the conference. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, one day, one game at a time.

Let the blog beating begin . . . .

There were a BUNCH of recruits on the Washington sidelines! Shirley was the only one listed on Dawgman but trust me there were a lot of kids lined up over there!

i could not be more proud. that last pass he threw when he was on the run for about 25 yards was a thing of beauty. that ball had some serious zip. the kicker made a pressure filled field goal too. now i think the huskies can win 8 games. i originally stated 6 wins. watching steve sarkisian jumping up and down with his players was an inspiration for me and hopefully the whole college football world. that is why college football is better then pro. peace out. ramble on!

Welcome back to the Pac-10 after an absolutely fantastic win. Cherish the moment!

… but i’m a generous man.

The 3rd down differential between the Huskies and their opponents has been off the charts this season. If you throw out Idaho and just look at LSU and USC, the Huskies D allowed convesions on 5 of 20 third downs (not counting 0-1 on fourth). The Huskies O, on the other hand, has converted 18 of 34 first downs in those games.

The turnovers are timely. But this kind of performance on third down has been a constant all season and has demonstrated the resiliency of the developing Dawgs D. It is also a confidence builder that contributes to the swagger that all good teams have.

What an incredible win for the Huskies yesterday!!!

Although I’m still in Texas today, I finally got a chance to view the game tonight and lemme tell you- Holt outcoached the Trojans, and continued to do so until the last minute played out. The Husky players played outta their minds and yet, maintained their containment. (which is very difficult to do when the adjustments were made, as it applies mainly to the opposing personnel in this regard, not so much to overall opposing schemes. the scheme for the defense remained faithful to original gameplan, the adjustment to stacking the box against the run challenged Corp to pass- and if Corp could make Holt pay for leaving certain Husky defenseman vulnerable the outcome might have been different. however, he didn’t and couldn’t because those adjustment assignments were for real, and he Husky defense “had each other’s back” throughout. Carroll and Bates couldn’t do jack from that point forward)

My God, those players on the Husky team are excellent students AND players. That is most apparent in the way they continued to dictate their will upon the vaunted USC O-line and controlled the pace and conservative play-calling from the USC coaches. USC couldn’t adjust to the Husky adjustments. It goes without saying at this point that THE COACHES believe in THE PLAYERS as much as the players believe in their coaches. And that, my friends, will result in better play at the level of championship teams. Not only have the Huskies arrived once again, they have a shot at doing something quite amazing this year. Yes, THIS YEAR.

Great game, to both the coaches and the players. You guys know my words are sincere, and have been from day one- so, in all honesty I’m disappointed that the Trojans were beaten today- I am more than just happy we lost to a better team which is coached by 2 of my favorite coaches and friends. Awesome!

Go Huskies! WOOF!

A big “WOO-HOO!” from a NY-dwelling fan. Way to go, Huskies!
