They're gonna be good." Th- was that your best game from top to bottom? Or, or does it, d- is that diminished somewhat by what the Huskies have gone on to do? How did you feel about how the Cougs performed in that game, and what kind of, I guess, hope that might have given you in week one against them?

Well, I, I, I thought our offense was awful.

I mean, it, you know, I, I think Owen Eschleman's gonna give us some light.

I really like him.

He's kind of a Tim Rosenbach-type kid.

Same kind of physical nature, 6'3", about 210, 212.

He's got a pretty damn good arm.

What is your sense, I mean, what can a D coordinator do, he's been good against all others so far, to try to slow this thing down?

But just the way they've come out and talked about Owen Eshelman, it makes me think, why wasn't he the guy right out of camp?

Well, and I think from what I've been told behind the scenes, they like Penick's ability to basically change stuff with the line of scrimmage.

You know, he handled kind of, you know, that portion of the game.

But basically from arm strength, it was never a question.

You know, Eshelman was always the guy.

He always had the stronger arm.

You know, it's a three-year letterman in basketball.

But just John's point was, if this season gets worse, could he be a scapegoat for the football team?
