That was a series of beauty.  I told my wife, "If they're not going 
to stop the toss sweep, we should just keep running it."


>> Nobody noticed the fullback draw?????

Another beauty, but was it really a draw?  I thought a draw involved 
some delay, and that play was a quick handoff.  It's not what they 
call the belly option, is it?


> Special Teams are, well, Special!

Agree with that, except for kick coverage--which you noted.

Good point about the field position they had on those possesions. 
I also told my wife, "they probably won't be handing out a lot of 
Blackshirts based on that performance."

I didn't think it wa terrible, but I also thought there seemed to be 
some missed holding calls on the UW offense.  I also saw at least 
one block in the back allowing a UW kick returner to make some 
gains.
