Which other Pac team is more like Oregon?

But, but, Bo Nix' completion% !!!

Yer just trying to jinx us.  I won't fall for it.

Texas wines are okay.  I've had a couple I've really liked.  They're not overly consistent though.  Makes it tough to buy through the vintages.

Washington is going to score on us, probably plenty.  Our safeties are pretty pretty bad.  That is by far our largest team weakness.

I'm hopeful that, unencumbered by B12 officiating, our powerful d-line pass rush will be effective in hurrying Penix and limiting his downfield capability.

On the flipside, I'm not overly worried about Washington's defense being able to stop Texas in any significant manner.  As long as Sarkisian doesn't get conservative and turtle up, Texas just has so many ways to hurt you.  And he only tends to turtle up when he has a comfortable lead, I'm not expecting that to happen until late in the game, if at all.

I feel like Texas should win something like 35-24 or 35-28, maybe 38-31.  

But it's no guarantee of course.  Texas could end up losing by similar scores.

The most any team has scored on us is 30 by Kansas St in OT I dont think Wash will score more then that

Im counting on our pass rush to control their deep passing threat

kst couldn’t get the ball downfield this yr the way uw can. 

wasnt suggesting that

but I dont think Wash has faced a team that can pass rush like the Horns

That's the way of the world now.  Ewers is coming back, if Manning is staying put then Murphy probably sees the writing on the wall and wants to get to somewhere he'll be able to play, pronto.  At this point that seems more the norm than not.
