I`m no expert on game planning an O but I do think even the unwashed can figure out you defeat this D by getting your TE`s open early and often and accurately connecting with them. The other thing you do is give your QB time to hit the deep WR routes and challenge the Husky deep safety to force them out of an 8 man box so they cannot abort your running game from the side in back of the blockers with the other safety before the RB hits the hole.
Washington`s front 7 will be just as tough this year but the secondary has a bunch of newbies whose inexperience may be exploited. Burns was just too inexperienced and too inaccurate to take what the Husky D gave last year but in his defense he did not have much time. Our OL guys played pretty poorly. They must play superbly. In addition, our play calling was not something to be remembered fondly for the ages.
This year we have two exceptional tight ends and a QB who can get the ball there in a hurry with some accuracy. This is a game where a St. Brown and A-W can make a difference downfield while Irwin can catch that 12 yard pass all day in play action. I hate to even suggest this given our QB injury situation but running our backs into the flat could really open up the middle for some Luck or Hogan like QB keepers IF our OL blocks the middle of Husky D when those DE/OLB combo players go into the flat to cover the backs.
I have said for years that Chris Peterson is the best coach in college football on all the boards I post on and he did nothing last year to change my opinion. My friend Jim Sochor always had high praise for him before he passed and after he left UC Davis. Last year, he game planned well on both sides of the ball. I hope we are better prepared this year.
