In the Dog House: It may have taken them a little while to get rolling, but once the Oregon offense hit their stride, there was no stopping them. Washington fell 34-17 to the visiting Ducks on Saturday, which was the final game played in the soon-to-be-renovated Husky Stadium. Oregon's offensive prowess was not the only factor in the defeat though, three UW turnovers that eventually turned into 14 points for the Ducks and the Huskies' offense was held to under 400 yards for the first time since Week One were also contributing factors.
Next Up: A tough road game against USC.

Clipped Wings: The Seahawks added a sixth loss to their season record yesterday, as they fell 23-13 to the Dallas Cowboys. One positive that came from Sunday's game was that Marshawn Lynch finally dashed past the 100-yard mark for the first time since 2008, but we can't be the only ones who think that a starting running back who only runs for more than 100 yards in a game every three years is a sad statistic. And, speaking of sad statistics, Tavaris Jackson threw three picks in the game, the run defense that has been the team's saving grace allowed a season-high number of yards, and for what seems like the ten-millionth time in a row, kicker Steven Hauschka was responsible for the majority of the team's points. This may be a rebuilding year, but we think there are some serious cracks in the foundation.
Next Up: The Seahawks sputtering offense will need a miracle to get past the Baltimore Ravens defense next week.

Misty Eyed: Darn. Just after we finished praising the Seattle Mist's winning ways they dropped a close one to the visiting Las Vegas Sin on Friday.
Next Up: They'll be gone til December.
