Stolen from DC on the other board:

They hit the nail on the head, force Martinez to throw. Wyoming actually matches up well with Nubb. Our strength on D is against the run. If we can slow the run game and force them to sling it around, we have a chance.

For what it's worth, Washington was #7 in the country against the run heading into last week's game (yes, it was very early in the season), and we ran for 300 yards on them. We ran at-will on them in the second half, too.

This was a Washington team that returned four starters from last year's D Line. They're not bad, and we still ran on them.

Specifically regarding Flutie's comments - brilliant! Make Martinez pass, because that's not the strong suit in his game. Unfortunately, his analysis leaves out the fact that we've run the Option maybe 15% of our plays, and the fact that we have four more-than-capable RBs that Martinez can dish the ball to.

Washington's game plan was to take away Martinez' running game. He only ran for 83 yards and a TD as a result. Unfortunately, he also passed for 155 yards and two TDs. So simply taking away his running game won't get it done.

I talked to DC and he approves...

Unfortunately, Martinez will probably not have to pass much, and most of what he does pass will probably be gas.

I get it. You guys are awesome.
