In some respects, it is stunning that the final margin of victory was not higher and that we had a realistic comeback opportunity. Another frustrating loss.I am surprised nobody has noticed this, but Washington "turtled" big time in the second half. Who wouldn't? They were way ahead and our offense had shown nothing. Our defense appeared to play better in the second half at least partially because they weren't seeing the entire UW playbook. They pretty much knew what was coming. Washington wasn't going for it on fourth and 11. I don't know where to find the relevant statistics, but I would guess the run-pass ratio in the second half was at least 4 to 1.
