Seattle Kraken Hockey

The Seattle Kraken come home to start a 

homestead after having a successful road 

trip despite losing the final two games which

isn't a large surprise since Tampa Bay and 

Florida Panthers are two of the top teams

in the NHL.  

The Kraken lost to Tampa Bay by a goal 

while losing to the Panthers 8-3 on Saturday.

The Kraken are now 5-3-1 and in third place 

behind Vegas and Edmonton who are two 

of the losses. TB loss was overtime.

Tuesday they begin a four game homestand

against Detroit Redeings who they beat on

the road 6-3 on October 9.  Go Kraken.

Oregon State Beats Washington State

It was expected that the Oregon State 

Beavers would beat the Washington 

State Cougars in their first match up

since being the two teams remaining 

in the new Pac-12.

The Beavers are the best of these of

these two teams however the Cougars

should be ashamed how they played

especially offensively.

Final Beavers 48. Cougars 30

The  Beavers have an outstanding offense

and the Cougars offense had their best of

the season.  

The Beavers had 555 total yards while

the Cougars had 459 yards.  The Cougars 

play this way in their remaining games

this season they should have more wins

than one they have now 

The game had no turnovers until the

Cougars threw a long pass with three

seconds remaining was intercepted.

The Cougars did what they had to.the

 very end that you can't fault them. 

Owen Eshleman a redshirt freshman 

making his first career start as a Cougar.

Owen completed 32 of 49 passes for

a solid of just over 65 percent and 289

yard with two touchdowns.

If the Cougars had any fault offensively 

Eshleman had most of the yards running

the ball too. He carried 15 times for 136

yards  and had his first running touchdown 

with 1:37 remaining in the game for 20 yards.

It looks for the time now he is the Cougars 

quarterback. They had 15 more carries

that came to 32 yards. Something the

Cougars will have to work on.

Branden Ganashamoorthy was the key

receiver that Eshleman looked to with

11 catches for  147 yards and a touchdown.

Going into this game he had 15 catches

for 196 and two touchdowns. Likely 

see these two hook up the rest of the way.

Things won't get easier for the Cougars  as 

they take on Boise State next Saturday at 

home. Despite  the  Beavers they are expected to win the Pac-12 title.  Let's see if the Cougars

can do an upset. Go Cougs. 

Washington Huskies Finally Win Big Ten Game

The Washington Huskies football team 

bad their best offensive game  of the 

season. They really needed this win 

after going 0-3:in the Big Ten 

Final Washington 38 Purdue 26

This wasn't the most perfect game 

but certainly the best one of the season.

The Huskies had five turnovers Friday night.

This all on the road too. 

Elijah Brown making his first start of the 

season for the Huskies completed 21 of 

27 for 302 yards and three touchdowns. 

Brown had three intercepted but not all 

his fault. The receivers need to complete 

running their routes. 

The big improvement was running the ball.

Trevion Cooley had 8 carriers for 113 yards.

One run was 53 yards for a touchdown.

It was the last score of the game. He had

to leave a little later as he was hit hard

on a play. We hope that he can go next week.

Brian Bonner Jr.  ran 13 times for 64 yards

and had a touchdown at the end of the first

half. He caught a 25 yard touchdown pass

about six minutes earlier.

Chris Lawson led the Huskies with six catches

for 103. Dezman Roebuck had five catches

for 97 yards and had a 4 yard touchdown 

early in the 4th quarter.

The Huskies defense gave up a lot of big

plays though Purdue running back Fame

Ijeobi last week against Minnesota having 

195 yards only had 13  carries for 19 yards

He did catch a pass for a touchdown though.

The Huskies have next weekend off then

plays at Nebraska on Saturday October 31.

This should be what they need. We will

see whether quarterback Desmond Williams 

Jr. returns to start of not. Go Dawgs. 

Time To Sit Darnold

It has been rough for the quarterbacks

her in Washington State so far this

season.

The Huskies had to take out Demond 

Williams Jr. in the end of the first half

and Friday night Elijah Brown will start.

Saturday the Cougars are placing their

quarterback though not hurt but a team

record of 1-5 which is understandable.

Sam Darnold was hurt in the very first 

series of the opening game and Drew

Lock replaced him and played three 

games. Now they are struggling with

Darnold back. Should he have waited 

another week or not. 

Is the problem with Seahawks as with

the Huskies and possibly the Cougars

the offensive line or is it that Darnold 

is throwing interceptions. Against the

Broncos Thursday night he was sacked

five times. How many of those were the

line or the running backs blocking to

or Darnold or all three.  

Is the problem the play calling or the

running game. Although the Seahawks 

running game wasn't great it was better

than the Broncos.  The Seahawks almost

won both the last two weeks.

Zach Charbonnet is expected back in

game seven against the Kansas City

do we give Darnold another week or

not. I am sure every Seahawks fan

has an opinion that is why they are 

fans. We will see. One thing we are

understanding why it is hard to win

two Super Bowls in a row. We don't 

have to panic yet.  Go Seahawks. 

Seahawks Lose In Overtime

The Seahawks lost Thursday night at

Denver against the Broncos 17-14.

The game was done by both teams 

defense or struggle by both offenses 

ot combination of both. Take a pick.

The Seahawks are now 3-3 after two

losses in five days they could have

won as well. 

Until the 4th quarter the Seahawks 

weren't doing well. The Seahawks 

were passing the ball a lot though

at times did have some success 

on the ground. 

The Seahawks total yardage was twice

of the Broncos.  If we went by how each

tesm did by seeing the stats only the 

Seahawks would have won but didn't.

The Seahawks had a field goal in the 

first quarter but nothing in the 2nd and

3rd quarters.  The Broncos scored twice

in the 2nd quarter on the ground thougj

didn't do much otherwise running the ball.

Both teams went scoreless in the 3rd quarter.

George Holani ran in on a touchdown with

5:41 remaining in regulation.  They made a

two conversation too. After stopping the

Broncos the Seahawks kicked a field goal 

with three seconds to go to tie.

Broncos win the coin toss but allowed the

Seahawks have the ball first.  They did

a good job driving then Sam Darnold 

threw an interception.  After moving a

little ways they kicked field goal to win.

The Seahawks next game will be on

October 25 at home against the KC

Chiefs. Hopefully get things squared 

away. Go Hawks 

Preview Washington State at Oregon State

The two teams from the old Pac 12 remaining 

are facing off this Saturday in Corvallis Oregon.

The Cougars who are struggling on the season 

as well as losing the first two games to begin

conference play.  The Beavers are 2-0 in the

conference while 4-2.

The Beavers are like the Cougars they have

a new head coach in JaMarcus Shepherd. 

If  the name sounds familiar he was assistant 

head coach and wide receivers coach at

Washington under DeBoer as well at Alabama.

Now his first head coach job in college 

football.

News came out that the Cougars are making .

a move at quarterback. Not a big surprise 

when your team is 1-5.  Redshirt freshman 

Owen Eshleman is going to start against

the Beavers See how much difference in

the game.  The Beavers are favored by

18.5 points. They are averaging 41.8

points a game. Last Saturday they beat 

San Diego State 66-14. 

Braden Atkinson is the starting quarterback 

for the Beavers and leads the nation throwing

21 touchdowns on the season so far. The 

Beavers are averaging 391.2 yards in the air.

Should see a lot of throwing the ball in this

one.

The Beavers freshman receiver Jesse Legree

is ranked number one nationally with 932 

yards and tied for first with 12 touchdowns.

Against San Diego State he broke the teams

recovered of consecutive games by  a Beavers

receiver with at least 100 yards in all six games

he had played.  See what the Cougars can do

to slow him down if they can.

On the ground the Beavers are averaging 119.6

with 8 touchdowns. Though not high in college 

football still a good amount of yards.

The Cougars are giving up 164.6 yards on the

ground and 4.7 on the average. We see the 

Beavers will do although they will be more

concerned with Beavers passing game.

The Cougars are giving up 214.6  in the air

but this will be a challenge for them.

Whether they  will win this will be an upset 

if the Cougars are able to win. Go Cougs.

Preview Washington Huskies at Purdue

News has come out that Desmond Williams Jr 

the Huskies starting quarterback is likely not

to start against Purdue this coming Friday

Elijah Brown who came in at the end of the 

first half last week is expected to start.

The Washington Huskies really need a win

after losing the first three games in the

Big Ten. They are not the only ones there 

are five teams without a win.  There are

four teams that are undefeated in the 

conference led by Indiana and UCLA overall.

The Huskies offense isn't the only side of

the ball that isn't playing well. After getting 

off to a good start the defense isn't playing 

well either. The running defense was expected 

to be good once again had digressed. Against 

Iowa they gave up 263 yards on the ground.

Purdue is 2-1 in conference while 3-3 overall.

They have won two straight including beating 

Minnesota last week 42-13. Last year the 

Huskies beat Purdue at home 49-13.  This year

the two teams are going in opposite directions.

Having Brown at quarterback we will see if

the offense will be better and the defense back

go back where it was earlier on in the season.

Ryan Browne is the starting quarterback for

Purdue in his second season as the leader.

His completion rate has gone up to 68.9 %

which is ten percent higher than last year.

Browne has thrown one interception this

season while having ten last year. He has

thrown nine touchdown passes which is

exactly the same he had all of last season.

Browne has thrown for 1549 yards which

means he should go over last year's total

easily as long as he stays healthy. He just

has just over 600 yards to reach last year's 

total.

Fame Ijeboi is Purdue's starting running

back by far has the most carries. Last week 

against Minnesota was his biggest game

running for 195 yards and three touchdowns.

The Huskies will have to stop him. Qb Browne

has the second most carries on the season

and averages 1.7 yards per so the Huskies

have to see him carry the ball.

Asaad Waseem is the Boilermakers top

receiver with 29 catches for 472 yards 

and has only one touchdown.  Xavier 

Townsend has 29 catches as well for

314 yards and two touchdown

The Boilermakers convert about 48 percent

of the time on third downs however their

defense gives up about the same. See if

the Huskies can do better this time.

The Boilermakers defense average 157.5

yards a game although did much better

against Minnesotassy week. The Huskies

offensive line making changes over the 

last couple weeks the running game will

improve . At least enough to help the 

passing game be effective.

Purdue defense is giving up an average of

243.5 yards in the air. Last week Brown 

threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns 

in just over two quarters with no interceptions 

so if he is anything around that at Purdue

the Huskies have a shot to win.  Purdue is

favored at  3.5 points this Friday. So the 

Huskies could do it.

Purdue linebacker Jaylen Jaylen leads 

with 40 tackles. Purdue goes with 3

lineman, 3 linebackers and 5 defensive 

backs. That is what many college teams

play now. No one on Purdue defense

has no more than one interception or

sacks. We hope the Huskies do better

then Minnesota last week although 

they did beat Washington.  Go Dawgs.
