Seahawks Win In Overtime

The Seahawks did well in  overtime
which isn't easy on the road and
winning the coin top.

Seahawks 23 Patriots 20

The Seahawks did struggle for some
of the game but if when it counted.
Late in the fourth quarter the Patriots
were going for the win trying to kick
a field goal however the Seahawks
blocked the field goal. The Seahawks
tried to win regulation but were stopped
by New England so had to settle for a field goal..

The Seahawks were able to stop the
Patriots with first try in overtime. 
Getting the ball they were able to march
down by passing and running the ball.
When they got down to about the 21
yard line decided to kick the field goal.
The Seahawks now are now 2-0. 

The Seahawks led 17-13 at halftime.
Neither team scored in the third quarter.
The Patriots scored a touchdown to take
the lead in the fourth quarter before the
Seahawks tied it.

Geno Smith did complete 33 of 44 for
327 yards and a touchdown. Zach 
Charbonnet led in  rushing with 14
carries for 38 yards and one tf. Ken
Walker 3 didn't play. DK Metcalf kept
busy having ten catches for 129 yards
and a touchdown.

The Seahawks will be back home next
Sunday taking on the Miami Dolphins. 
Go Hawks!




Arozarena Hits Walk Off

When you need another must win 
I am not sure if I like this kind however
they did win in an exciting game on
Saturday night. 

The Mariners scored first on a sacrifice 
flyin the second inning by Josh Rojas.
The trouble was the Rangers took.the
lead temporarily with a  two run homer.
in the third inning.Julio who has been hot 
tied in the bottom of the inning.

In the fifth inning the Rangers hit another
two run homer however Luke Raley tied
it in the bottom with one of his own. He
had his 20th of the season. The first time 
in his career. The game was blank until
the bottom of the 9th. The Mariners were 
able to load the bases with Arozarena
coming to the plate. We hoping not for
a double play. Arozarena hit a sharp one
off the shortstop which went into left field
for the win. This was not only important
win however the Mariners haven't had
many of these types of wins on the season.

George Kirby who has been struggling for
over a month goes for the Mariners Sunday.
The team needs a good performance from
him well as the offense. 

The Seahawks play the Patriots first
on Sunday. Can like positive energy
for sure.

Cougars Take Care Of Huskies

Washington State Cougars beat the
the Washington Huskies 24-19 at
Lumen Field in Seattle on Saturday
afternoon.

The Cougars beat Washington though
the Huskies had opportunity especially 
in the 4th quarter. The Huskies had
an interception where the didn't do 
anything with and had to the ball back.
The Cougars made a good stop where
the Huskies could have made a first
down or touchdown.  

The Cougars showed their offense and
defense in this one. Whether the Cougars
are better over the course of the season or not they were on this day. 

The Cougars coaching staff seemed
to do better or they had the emotions
for sure. That is what happens in rival
games.Not sure how the Huskies will
do in the Big Ten the Cougars showed
they haven't slowed down and belong
in major college football for now anyway.

The Pac-12 looks to go to six teams at
least in 2026 with four teams from the
Mountain West. How the Cougars have to
do we will have to see. The Cougars will
play San Jose State next Friday. The 
Huskies on the other hand take on
Northwestern in Husky Stadium. 

When it came to stats the Huskies beat
the Cougars in total yards and passing. 
Didn't help since the final score is the
most important stat. You wonder had
the Huskies used Demon Williams Jr.
instead of Rogers they have one. 

The rest of the season should be 
interesting for both teams. We will 
see what happens. 


Julio Overcomes Deficit For Mariners Win

For the Mariners to make the playoffs
they have to win the majority of their
games. The Astros have them a chance
to get closer the Mariners have lost
critical games.

Though the starting pitching for the
most part has been good. Luis Castillo
is out on the injured list so Friday night
Night was critical again with Emerson
Hancock on the mound. He was able to
go five innings however gave up three
run. 

The bullpen hss gone through tough times
with injuries. Thorton pitched a good sixth
inning, however, Austin Voth walked a
couple in the seventh which isn't good.
Tayler Saucedo came in with two outs 
and gave up a hit which the run went to
Voth.  JT Chargois struck out three 
Rangers in the eighth and Munoz took
care of the ninth.

The Mariners were down 4-0 heading 
into the bottom of the seventh. Things
didn't look good for sure. Cal Raleigh hit 
a sacrifice fly scoring Victor Robles for
the first run. Something the Mariners
have had on the season. Most of the 
time hitter strikes out and the batter
after hits a fly ball for third out. Randy Arozarena hits a single to score Julio.

In the ninth inning Julio was able to  bat
again. With JP Crawford and Josh Rojas
on base with two outs Julio hit a three-run
homer to give them the game. Julio
had four hits on the day.

Scherzer goes for the Rangers Saturday
night against Logan Gilbert. Not only
will have to pitch like he has all season
the offense has to come alive again 
which they have had trouble doing most
of the season when Logan is on the mound.

The Mariners are still four and a half
behind the Astros. The wildcard they
are three and a half. They can't afford
really any losses to the Rangers in
these two games as the Yankees come
to town.  Go team.

Mariners Drop Critical Game

The Seattle Mariners lost to the
Texas Rangers 5-4 Thursday night
in the first game of the series.

It is important to win the first game
of a series especially in crunch time.
We have seen where the Mariners
hitting has weaknesses through
the season. This was more decision
making in my thinking and mental
errors. The Mariners will need to
make accessments during the offseason.

The Mariners tied in the game in the
fourth inning with a run then took the lead 
in the fifth with three more runs. First 
thing they couldn't add more runs.

The Mariners took Bryce Miller out
after the sixth inning at 84 pitches.
Troy Taylor gave up a home run however
the trouble came in the 8th when a
couple miscues allowed the Rangers
to score three runs with only one earned.
The difference in the game.

Although I thought that Miller should
have at least started the seventh it
was the eighth that cost them the 
game. Decisions and  mental mistakes
can't cost games like this one. The
Astros won as well so lost a game back once again.

Accessments need to be made after 
the season. There is something wrong besides the pitching. We hope a turn
around happens. Go M's.

Mariners Win Important Game

The Seattle Mariners best the San Diego
Padres Wednesday Night 5-2

Pitcher of the game no question he was pitching a perfect game into the seventh inning. He lost the perfect inning and 
shutout when Fernando Tatis hit his home run in the series. Salute to Woo the Mariners best pitcher of the year.

Hitters of the game Cal Raleigh hits a
single driving in Josh Rojas from third
base  to have first score in the third.
Luke Raley had a single to right field
to score two like Raleigh.  In the sixth
inning  JP Crawford hit a double scoring
the Mariners two runs of the game. 

Now the Mariners start a four game 
series against the Texas Rangers. It
would be great if the Mariners swept
the series. Though the Mariners could
lose one game.  Bryce Miller will start
the first game against the Rangers.

We hope to see exciting baseball
going  the  rest of the season. Go M's. 

Preview Seahawks at New England Patriots

The Seahawks will taking on the
New England Patriots on Sunday
morning Seattle time.

The Seahawks beat Denver at home
last Sunday. The SF 49ers beat the
NY Jets on Monday night football.
The Rams and Cardinals both lost
so the Seahawks and 49ers at the
top of the NFC West Division.

The Seahawks got to slow start which
they are well know for at the beginning
of the season. The first half they tried to
pass more frequently and didn't have
much success. The second half they
ran with success and why the win.
This week I would suggest mixing up the
run and pass. They could go with a few 
short passes as well before throwing
a long run. I am sure OC Ryan Grubb has
it in hand.

The New England Patriots beat the Cincinnati Bengals last week 16-10.
Neither team had great overall in
in yardage. The Patriots had their
success running the ball. Rhamondre
Stevenson carried the ball 25 times
for 120 yards and the  only touchdown.
Neither team had very good success
having a low rate under .500 on third
downs. This will be something Seahawks
defense will try this week. Go Hawks!

Mariners Lose Tuesday Night

The Mariners  lost Tuesday  night to the
San Diego  Padres 7-3 in the first of two 
games at home before the Rangers come
to town.

The trouble  is  the  Mariners  can't  afford 
too many  more losses to make the playoffs. 
I figured when the Mariners  went into the
Dodgers series before Servais  was fired
they really  needed to win 85 games at least.
With  17 games remaining  that makes 12-5.
The way the Mariners have played all season 
they would have to play their best games all
year. What is the chance of that. Other teams
could falter but not likely. 

George  Kirby went only five innings giving  up 
five runs. In September and August so far he
has gone six innings only  twice.  The Kirby 
we are not used seeing. The big blow was 
giving up a three run homer to Fernando Tatis 
Jr. in the 3rd inning after being  ahead 2-0.

The Padres added two more runs in the sixth
and seventh innings. The Mariners  got Justin 
Turner on base in the bottom  of the seventh 
then a ball dropped into right field. JP Crawford 
hit a ball down the third base line scoring Turner. 
The Mariners  ended up loading the bases. Julio
came up with one out and he could do anything 
besides hitting  into a double play  which he ended
up doing. The Mariners  did get a runner or more in
the eighth and ninth but couldn't  get anyone home.





Preview of the Apple Cup

The Huskies and Cougars are playing
Saturday afternoon at Lumen Field
in Seattle. 

This will be new for us all as the Huskies
play this year now in the Big Ten. The
Cougars will play against the Mountain
West conference. 

Both teams have played two non conference foes and one fairly 
easily. The Apple Cup will show
how good these teams are and
how the season goes.

Last year the Huskies beat the
Cougars in the Apple Cup before
going onto playing Michigan
in the National Championship.
They lost the game and after
Coach DeBoer left for Alabama.

The Huskies not only have a new
coach and staff they have a  lot
of turnover in players too. The
offense starting lineup led by
transfer quarterback Will Rogers.
The defense looks improved with
a mixture of old and new. So far
they look improved against the
run. They have a talented group
of secondary players.

The Cougars though no longer
playing a Pac-12 schedule besides
Oregon State don't have a big turnover
of players. They are now led by
quarterback John Mateer.  So far
they look to be a good offensive
team and an OK defensive one.

The Huskies will be favored however
the Cougars will show what they have
like in most rival games. They will want
to prove that they still belong at the
high level of college football. Also
the motivation is for the future play
in a big conference possibly the Big 12.
The thing is conferences could change
again over the next five years. 

This game will be a centerpiece to show
for both teams. This should be exciting 
game to watch as most Apple Cups have.
Go teams.

Seahawks and Mariners Win

The Seahaw opened the season beating
the Broncos at home 26-20. The Seahawks
were favored by six points.  

The Seahawks got off to a slow start where they passed the ball 13 out of 22 plays  in the first half. At the end of the first quarter the both teams had scored three points.

The Broncos led at halftime 13- 9. Second quarter the Seahawks had two safeties and Geno Smith had a 23 yard touchdown however missed two point conversion. Broncos had two field goals.

The Seahawks had a touchdown where Ken Walker 3 ran for 23 yards. Jason Myers 
had a field goal in the third quarter.

The 4th quarter had a 30 yard touchdown pass. Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix 
had a four yard run before the two minute
warning. 

Ken Walker ran for 103 yards on carries.
Tyler Lockett led with six catches. On
defense Julian Love had ten tackles to
lead the Seahawks and an interception.
Both pass and rushing were good. 
Gave up 138 yards passing. The Broncos
didn't have  a passing touchdown a Bo
Nix had two interceptions. They gave up
99 yards on the ground.  Bo led with 
35 yards on.the ground.

The Seattle Mariners beat the St. Louis
10-4. The Mariners scored five runs  in the 
first inning. Julio led off having two hits on
the day. Every starting player had at least
one hit. Josh Rojas the only one without
a hit. Arozarena and Polanco each had a home run. The Mariners have Monday off.
Tuesday and Wednesday play the Padres
at home followed by the Rangers Thursday
thru Sunday. We see how they are after
those two series. 










WSU Cougars Won Again

The Cougars won big 37-16.
They scored much  because 
the Texas Tech offense was 
sluggish turning the ball over
several times and the Cougars
took advantage of the defense
played against them.

Cougars qb John Mateer threw
the ball only 19 times with nine
caught. He had one touchdown
and an interception. He will have
to do better next week to win.

What Mateer did well was run the
ball himself 21 times for 197 yards
and one touchdown. A team record
for quarterback attempts and yardage.
Mateer took advantage of what Texas
Tech defense gave him. Don't expect
this in the Apple Cup next week.

The Cougars running backs were able
to run as well. They had three touchdowns
on the night. 

Texas Tech's quarterback threw the ball
58 times with one touchdown and two 
interceptions. He completed 34 of
the throws. You expect more touchdowns
Two interceptions isn't to bad for that
many throws. Texas Tech will have to
go back to the drawing table.

Next up: Cougars in Seattle against
the Huskies at Lumen Field. Should 
be an exciting game.

Washington Huskies Win Again

The Washington Huskies beat
Eastern Michigan 30-6. The Huskies have yet giving up a touchdown in two games.

Huskies defense gave up 75 yards
rushing which is a good sign.
Huskies defense gave up only
125 yards in the air. This compared
to 264 yards and four touchdowns
by Washington Qb Will Rogers.

On offense the Huskies hand Jordan 
Coleman had 104 yards on the ground
on 11 carries. No as big as last weeks
game however still impressive.

Each team had a fumble in.the game
but no interceptions.

Cougars are winning tonight.
Will let you know how it went.









Mariners End Winning Streak

The Seattle Mariners had another
one of those disappointing losses
as they have had a lot of in the past
month or even longer.

The game was 0-0 into the bottom 
of the 8th inning. Logan Gilbert who
pitched the whole gave up a walk
and a home run in the bottom of
that inning. Final Cardinals 2 M's 0

The hitters need to do start hitting 
more frequently. They had the bases
loaded in the first inning and were unable
to get a key hit which would have made a
world of difference.

The Mariners now have to win Sunday
to take the series and make sure they
still have any chance to.be in the playoffs.
Another disappointing season with the
best starting pitching in the majors.
Moves will need to made to make 
positive in the hitting. They do have 
some good hitters however holes
too. Keep on trying.



Mariner Win Third In A Row

The Seattle Mariners have won three 
in a row now beating the St. Louis 
Cardinals  6-l in the first game of the
series.

The game was scoreless until the
fifth inning when Randy Arozarena
hit a sacrifice fly to score Victory
Robles. In the sixth inning Dylan
Moore playing second base hit
a two-run homer. The only home 
run the Mariners hit in the game.

In the seventh inning the Cardinals 
scored their only home run of the
game. Cal Raleigh hit a double scoring 
two runs in the ninth inning and Luke
Raley hit a single to score Cal.

Bryce Miller was the Mariners pitcher
of the game going six innings and
not giving up a run. He gave up three
hits and two walks in the game. The
Astros won as well so still have a four 
and a half game lead with 20 games 
remaining. Go Mariners!

Mariners Win To Split Series

The Seattle Mariners being beat in
the first two games in walk offs.
They won Wednesday night and 
followed by a 6-4 win.  Cal Raleigh 
and Julio Rodriguez each hit a home 
run early to make it a 3-0. 

The Mariners were leading 4-2 late
into the game when Luke Raley hit
a two-run home to make it 6-2. It
was a good thing since Andre Munoz 
gave up a two-run home run in the
bottom of the 9th or it would have been
interesting. Raley said he has been
working with Edgar Martinez. We
hope the others who have been working
with Edgar has success to. 

Bryan Woo pitched five innings giving
up the two runs. The bullpen did a
good job for three innings before
Munoz gave up the home run with 
cushion.

The Mariners have 21 games remaining. 
There best chance would be to win at least 
14 of those games. They could win 19
or 20 to get in however still 21 would be
good number. Go team. 

Preview Denver at Seattle On Sunday

The NFL season begins on Sunday with
the Denver Broncos at Seattle Seahawks.
The Broncos lead the series 35-22. 

Rookie Bo Nix of Oregon is now the
starting quarterback as Russell Wilson 
has moved on to Pittsburgh and we will
see how that goes. Nix is known to throw mostly short to medium passes for the
most part. It will be interesting how head
coach Sean Payton will use him. The
Seahawks will have to watch out for
him when running. So getting him out
of the pocket will be interesting.

The Seahawks right now are six points
favorites. The over/under is at 42.
Both teams will need to show improvement
on the defense. The Seahawks with new
head coach Mike Macdonald will see
some improvement but how much
we will see.

Sean Payton knows how to run a good
offense and the Seahawks have new
offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb whose
last stop was at Washington Huskies.
The Seahawks offense was OK in
preseason however neither of there top
two running backs played. Expect things
to be different in this game. QB Geno
Smith may have a very good season.
Grubb will be working with his strengths.

KennybWalker 3 is expected to play a big
role in the offense both running and 
catching the ball. We don't know yet 
however he and Zach Charbonnet are
supposed to share the load although
the one being the hottest at the time
may get a little bigger chunk. 

The Seahawks receiving core should
all have better seasons. It will be 
interesting to see how many catches
each get. I wouldn't be surprised if
the Seahawks first drive will begin
with establish the run to some degree
but throwing a number of passes too.
I would expect one long pass and we
may see a receiver run the ball. The
same may be the same the Broncos
will do as well. Whoever gets the ball
first may detect how the game goes
although both will begin with their
initial plan of the game.

We will see how both teams do on
the defensive side to. The Seahawks
running a new defense things might
take a few weeks to get things down.
It should be a very interesting game.
Go Hawks!


Mariners Blast Oakland

The Seattle Mariners finally ended a
four game losing streak beating
the Oakland A's 16-3. It would be nice 
if the Mariners conclude the series
besting the A's Thursday afternoon.
This tied the most runs score for
the Mariners in Oakland in a game.
This will be the last time these two
teams face each other in Oakland
as the A's move to Sacramento for
a few seasons while building a
stadium in Las Vegas hopefully. 

The big inning was the seventh
where the Mariners scored seven
runs after leading 5-2. Luis Urias
led off the seventh with a home
run his first for the Mariners since
May. He was the hitter of the game
as he had two doubles as well and
driving in four runs. 

Urias home run was the Mariners
only one of the game. The team
seems to do better when they don't
hit a lot of home runs. Oakland 
Stadium is big so the Mariners had
five doubles besides Urias. Victor
Robles had two doubles and drove
in three runs. Mitch Garver may
have had his best game as a Mariner
since he drove in four runs as well.

Every Mariners hitters had at least 
one hit in the game. In total they
had 16 hits. Robles who batted 
sixth in the lineup through ninth
hitter were the most productive as
they drove in 13 of the 16 runs. 
Oakland reliever Jason Junk gave
up all seven runs on six hits and two
walks. I thought in the middle of it
all he was doing his namesake by
throwing a lot of junk.. Junk was
removed and didn't a single out.

George Kirby pitched six innings
giving up two runs. Kirby struck
out nine hitters. There was thought
he would go out and pitch the 7th
however it was a long half inning
they decided to go to the bullpen.

When the Mariners have scored at 
least ten runs they have struggled 
to score runs for several games.
They don't have to score 16 in
today's afternoon game but at
least five runs and splitting the
series would be good since they
are still battling for a spot in the
playoffs. In fact this would be a
good start to go on a long winning
streak. Go M's.

Preview Texas Tec at Washington State

Both these teams have played before
however it has been sixty years since
the last game. They played twice and 
Texas Tech won both.So this doesn't 
seem to count.

Texas Tec play in the Big 12 so they will
have a tougher schedule than the Cougars.
Last week the Red Raiders plated Abilene
Christian Wildcats 52-51. Tells me they
had a close gsme and defense had trouble 
on both sides. The Cougars though beat
Portland State 70-30.

The Cougars always seem to have a
good offense the question is the defense.
Last year they got off to a good start but
fell down in the same way Colorado did
too.

Texas Tec quarterback is Behren Morton
who went 30 of 42 passes for 378 yards 
and five touchdowns. Josh Kelly who
played for the Cougars had 10 catches 
for 152 yards and one touchdown. Tahj
Brooks led them with 27 carries for 153
yards and a touchdown.

This game looks like it should be a high
scoring affair however this is why they
play the game. The Cougars sometimes
get off to a good start then let the other
team get back into it whether they win or lose. 

Texas Tech led Abilene Christian 32-21
at halftime. Abilene had 24 points while 
Texas Tech had 11.  The Red Raiders 
won in overtime making the extra point.
Now we will see who may get ahead 
first and if the other team will make it
close. Go Cougs. 






Tuesday, September 3, 2024

Mariners Lose Again

The Oakland A's had another walk off
win Tuesday night. This time was a single
and losing 3-2.

The Mariners scored both runs in the
first inning and went silent thereafter.
Other teams are losing in the race
however the Mariners are not taking 
advantage. 

The Mariners have won only two games
on the last two road trips. No one is taking
charge on the offense. Now we hope thing change real soon. Wednesday will be the
third game against the A's in this four game
series. They go to St. Louis for the weekend.
Go team!

Preview Week Two: Eastern Michigan Vs Washington

The Washington Huskies beat Weber
State last Saturday 35-3 at home
while Eastern Michigan beat UMass
28-14.

These teams have never played each 
other just like last weeks opponent 
before.  Eastern Michigan were 6-7
overall and 4-4 in the MAC Conference.
Toledo won the conference 8-0.

Cole Snyder is the starting quarterback.
He is a transfer and this is his third stop
after playing at Buffalo and Rutgers.
Snyder completed 17 of 29 completions 
for 241 yards and a touchdown. He
ran for a touchdown as well.

Eastern Michigan Eagles go with two
running backs primarily. Dontse McMillan
the starter had 15 carries for 54 yards 
while Dilbert Mimms had 60 on 12 carries
and had a touchdown. The Huskies had
trouble stopping the run in the last game
so they will need to make an improvement.

Oran Singleton the Eagles top receiver
had a busy day having eight catches for
89 yards and the only touchdown in the
air. The Huskies defensive backs will
have to watch out.

The Eagles play three front on defense 
with three linebackers and five defensive
backs. Middle linebacker James Djonkam
lead them.with 10 tackles. 

Jonah Coleman had the  most carries
for the Huskies at 16 for 127 yards and 
three touchdowns. Cameron Davis 
returned after being out most of last
season. He had five carries for 22 yards.

Giles Jackson finally having to start
at wide receiver had his best day
with ten catches for 98 yards. Denzel 
Boston who was one of the top
receiver backup last year had six
receptions for 76 yards and a touchdown.
Cameron Davis who has  done well
coming out of the bsckfield had
three catches. At tight end Quentin
Moore was hurt so freshman Decker
DeGraaf had a catch for 33 yards
and his first career touchdown.
Moore might be out a few games 
so DeGraaf will be number for now.

The Huskies defense will need to improve
on Saturday against the run. The Huskies
have a talented secondary. Go Dawgs!

Oakland Wins In Walk off

The Oakland A's beat the Seattle
Mariners in the opening game
of the Series late Monday afternoon
5-4 on a walk off home run in the
9th inning.

The Mariners continue to be a bad
team on the road as well as hitting.
The Mariners  had a two run homer 
from Cal Raleigh in the first inning.
They has single run in the third and 
sixth inning. The A's had four runs 
in the third inning including a three
run homer. 

Logan. Gilbert went six innings
despite giving up the four runs.
He wasn't able to get a  quality 
start. Austin Voth pitched the
ninth giving up the home run.
Voth has pitched well except
when he has pitched in the
9th. 

The Mariners and Oakland play
again on Tuesday. The Mariners
can't afford another loss at least 
not for a little  while anyway.



Sunday, September 1, 2024

Mariners Lose Again

The Mariners offense took the day
off once again on Sunday afternoon.
Final Angels 3 Mariners 2

The Angels scored a run in the first
then the Mariners tied it in the second.
They added the second run in the
third.  Nothing after that. Bryce Miller
gave up the final two runs in the fifth
inning. He came out in the fifth inning
as he had thrown many pitches already.

The Mariners  bullpen did a fine job
not giving up a hit at all. There was
one walk however five strike outs.
Though the bullpen gave opportunity
the Mariners couldn't capitalize. The 
Angels bullpen gave up a hit in each
of three innings and a walk in the
8th but that was it. Luke Raley got 
on in the 9th with one out. He tried
to steal second without sliding and
was called out on a pretty good throw.
My opinion he should be running
in the first place. Again the Mariners
offense messed up.

 Now the Mariners go and play a four
game series against the Oakland A's.
They really need to take at least three
of them to have any chance to make
the playoffs. Logan Gilbert will start
in a late afternoon game on Monday.
Go M's.

Washington Beats Weber State

The Washington  Huskies beat Weber State 
35-3 Saturday  night  in Husky Stadium. 

Takeaway  number one:  Jonah Coleman
in his first start rushed for 127 yards on
16 carries and had three touchdowns.
The thing is he wasn't  impressed in his 
first game as a Husky  after transferring 
from Arizona.  He believes  the team has
a lot to learn. Tells us not to be impressed  
by Weber State  either.  I  hope is rushing
stats average is the same for the season. 

Takeaway  number two: it take a while
for the Huskies  to score. The halftime 
score was 14-0. A decent score against
a team they outmatched.  Quarterback 
Will Rogers in his Huskies  debut completed 
20 of 26 passes which is a good percentage.
Another that would be a good average. The
yardage was 250 and one touchdown. Rogers 
had no interceptions either. I  am sure having
over over 300 yards would be a good mark
and at least a couple more touchdowns. 

Takeaway Three: the Huskies  defense can
be better if not the offense  as well.  They
gave up 16 first downs. Weber State rushed
for 155 yards so the Huskies  need improvement 
there too. The goal is give up less than one 
hundred yards per game. Passing was 98 yards.
Against good teams that would be a remarkable 
stat.  Neither team had a turnover in the game.
Not a good stat for the Huskies  who were the
superior team. They should have at least one
turnover on  a team that isn't good. We could 
say at this point the Huskies  are a bend and
not break  giving up just a field goal.


The Huskies  take on Eastern Michigan next 
week.  They  generally a good team so will
be a better match up for the Huskies. We
will see improvement  by the  Huskies  we
hope. We will do a preview on Eastern Michigan 
before next Saturday's  game. It is starting at
12:30 pm Seattle  time.  Go Dawgs!


Seahawks Win In Overtime
