Of course, Peterson and any great coach will game plan for what he expects his opponent to do.  Stanford, however, is a power running, run first team that will not easily change its stripes.  Shaw will always point to missed assignments as the number one reason for poor performance.  There were ways to defeat the Husky D and expect similar dances by each dancing partner when we play them in a few months.  Let us just hope that our O line plays impeccably and our short passing game will force them out of the 8 man front.

I expect both to happen and that we will avenge our loss.  What I have not discussed is the other side of the ball.  Healthy cornerbacks and reduced Husky TOS should greatly reduce Washington`s scoring.  Peterson should have been thrown in jail for the child abuse that he heaped upon our inexperienced and less talented 2nd team CB`s as Ross and Pettis and others just were dominant and ran free.  A little pressure on Browning and some success against their O line (which dominated us last year) would be helpful since his quick release is legendary and his receivers just got open so quickly last year.  Expect Lance to bring pressure early and often from different directions to keep Browning from being comfortable all the time.  He is known for a few errant tosses now and then when he feels pressure coming at him as Alabama brought.
