It’s Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots.
- An appalling offensive display against the nothing-special Duck defense was Jon Donovan’s last as Husky OC. (Both links, Vorel) Jimmy Lake’s unhinged sideline outburst against Ruperake Fuavai surely did him no favors in the eyes of the UW Athletic Dept. For now, we’re left to draw our own conclusions as to who gave the real order to ax Donovan.

- Christian Caple asks the same question we all are: “Will Jimmy Lake get a second chance to make the right offensive coordinator hire?”

As of 8 am PT, Jimmy Lake's 11:30 am press conference is still on as scheduled.

The Huskies-minus-Donovan are going to have to fix an offense that, if you take away the one, long TD drive (essentially the Dawgs’ only TD drive of the entire game) gained 11 yards in the 2nd half. That becomes 1 yard when you factor in the punt-snap-safety. Ignoring Carson Bruener’s INT that put the ball on the Oregon 6-yd line, the Huskies started each half with three consecutive three-and-out’s. Does that sound like a team that makes halftime adjustments? Will this change under Junior Adams? We’re about to find out...
Now that Donovan’s gone, can we talk about a defense that seems just as unwilling to mix up its schemes as Donovan’s offense was?

Brock Huard on 710 ESPN regarding Jimmy Lake: "...That I think is the most damning. Your story is not being bought."

Regarding UW not recruiting well on top of the on-field result
- I’ll be so bold to say that nary a Husky fan is bemoaning yesterday’s dismissal of Jon Donovan. The subject of whether or not to keep Jimmy Lake is perhaps more divisive, although those who’ve wanted Jimmy Lake fired since week 1 have been yelling the loudest - as is always the case.
