Washington is now 4-1 with crap for talent, relatively young team, and players who have been with 3 different head coaches.
Notre Dame is also 4-1 while playing a more difficult schedule. But here are some more facts.
1. Notre Dame had to come from behind to beat Georgia Tech and Michigan State, neither of which are all that good. Georgia Tech did beat Virginia Tech...but Virginia Tech isn't that great either.
2. Notre Dame is the 4th most penalized team in the nation. Washington is 94th.
3. Willingham is already having one of the best recruiting classes for Washington in years.
4. Washington passed for almost 300 yards and 2 touchdowns against one of the nation's best secondaries on the road at a conferance rival: Arizona. The previous week, Arizona held USC to 179 passing yards. USC did have over 200 yards rushing, but Washington had over 150 yards rushing as well. Washingon @ USC next week is looking pretty interesting.
5. Tryone Willingham doubled Washington's wins from the previous year in 2005, and has already doubled their wins from the previous year this year. Washington was also picked to finish last place in the pac-10 this year. At 4-1, and 2-0 in the conferance, I can only laugh. Great coaching.
Need I say more? Willingham went 7-0 his first year at ND...4 of them with victories over top-25 teams. Charlie Weiss went 5-2. The diffence? They decided to give Weiss a huge contract extension despite having played a weaker schedule than Willingham. Ha. I can only say that I'm glad Ty got fired. Now my Huskies are going to return to the top of the Pac-10 where they belong.
Oh, and I know I'm biased because I hate Notre Dame.
Thoughts and opinions will be viewed with a very open mind
