I recognize some of the girls in the first photo as cheerleaders from past seasons. They have several cheer squads.F. You're comparing apples to oranges - dance team to cheerleaders (although I think a few on the dance team deserve more credit.

Purple fat kids clothing sizes are worse.
They all suck.
Now we know why you drew this picture as a child:True story - my high school colors were purple and white. We had a team manager for the football team who was overweight, and unfortunately, not very attractive. Every game day she wore this even more unfortunate purple sweater/sweatshirt thing. The end result was that the combo of her being overweight, wearing the sad purple shirt, and her unfortunate facial features created a scarily accurate facsimile of the McDonald's character Grimace.
The moral of the story is, purple makes you look stupid and, in the wrong circumstances, like a character in a plot to make children addicted to fast food.
what I was afraid of. It does usually benefit the offense, but run game trumps I agree.
UW's defense is built to stop the power run game. UW's offense has not been a power running team this year.
Interesting. Looking at their O-Line and RB I would have assumed they would run all over whoever they wanted to. Either way I think their run game can chew up our DL.
Klatt was on yesterday talking about the game and said that Washington's OL hasn't been great so far this year, and that UW just isn't the team that everybody thinks they are right now. He had a similar reserve about CU's offense, and obviously still think the Huskies are most likely winning, but said he wouldn't be shocked at all if it's a one score game late in the 4th and CU is able to pull it out.
We're not looking at a hurricane in Boulder on Saturday night. If CU can't throw the ball, it's because UW isn't letting them, IMO.

CU ranks 112th in finishing drives, while UW's defense ranks 13th (per JR's article in the weekly game thread). Also in that preview, they mentioned that UW's defense has been pretty bend but don't break so far. That trend can't continue for CU to have a chance. If they can move the ball on UW, they need to finish.
We were 42 in finishing drives last year. I'm hoping this is just a small sample size problem.
I bet a huge reason for being 42nd last year was the usage a Sefo running the ball. Honestly, for as much as people despised it, it was arguably the most consistently successful play they had, and it was almost never stopped around the goal line or 1st down marker. They need to start using Montez as a running threat.
They did. Believe it didn't work well against CSU. He's just not good at short yardage like Sefo was. Montez likes to hit, but he doesn't have a good head for sneaking through traffic and runs too tall.
Rain benefits the receiver against the defender. We should have guys wide open all night.
Montez had 12 rushing attempts against CSU and 5 of those were sacks. Unfortunately, the box score or play-by-play doesn't specifically say if the other 7 runs were scrambles, read options, power runs, etc. but I'm confident in my memory of the game that they did not do much in the way of emphasizing him in the run game.
