Little things make a big difference

Post by azpenguin »

This win was all about the little things. UW didn't handle them and Arizona did. Examples:

1. Penalties. UW just wouldn't cut it out with the holds. If I can see them clearly from the upper deck, it's blatant.

2. The botched PAT. Not a kicker issue, it was a snap problem. Margin of victory right there.

3. Composure. Arizona had it. UW didn't.

4. Another thing I noticed - Solomon had a couple of balls that he threw out of bounds behind the receiver on purpose. Nothing was open, and Solomon, instead of forcing a throw to a guy that might get a yard if that, threw it two yards behind the receiver and out of bounds. What he was doing there was avoiding a pick-six. UW has been feasting on defensive scores all year. He didn't give the defender a chance to jump the route there.

5. Clock management. I'll just leave that one there.

UW dominated the trenches and should have won this game. Arizona had to take what they were offered, but in contrast to previous years' teams, they actually did.

Does Miles have sweaty hands or are they just really small? Two drops without contact?
