Two wins in one weekend

It all started Saturday night with a fantastic ending with the Washington Huskies prevailing in double overtime against 24th ranked Oregon St. This was a game for the ages, with the Huskies ripping off 21 straight points then the Beavers running back in the game for 21 straight points. Both teams fought hard until the end. A lot of props has to go out to Jacquizz Rodgers of OSU, this is a small player in stature but plays with a big heart and willed his team to a losing victory. Rodgers is one of those players that do not get the publicity  he deserves because he plays out in the west coast where the east coast people do not get the chance to see him. OSU did the right thing by trying to win the game by going for the two point conversion in the second overtime but it just slipped out of the tight ends hand. Ryan Katz also showed that he will be a good quarterback in the Pac-12 for some years. On the Huskies side they showed a lot of promise on the defensive side of the ball by picking off Katz 3 times and sacking him more than once. Offensively Jermaine Kearse had a great game going over 100 yards receiving and 4 touchdowns. Jake Locker played a good game with finishing over 200 yards passing and 5 touchdowns. Chris Polk finished the game 25 carries and 105 yards on the ground. The only thing that bugged me the most was the offense kept stalling when the defense would get them the ball in good field position. This Huskies team has a long way to go to become a consistent team and contender for the Pac-12.
Now on the my beloved Seattle Seahawks, my love for this team is a love-hate relationship. I'll be the first to admit my disgust against them but in the end it is all love. The game that they played against the Chicago Bears I thought they would not stand a chance with the Bears defense ranking in the top 5 of the NFL. The Hawks got down early but came back and held on to the lead and won their first road game outside of the division since 2007. I could see that this team is now starting to play with more intensity with the addition of Marshawn Lynch in the backfield. With ML in the starting line up the Hawks now have Justin Forsett coming in on third downs where he can come out of the backfield and give Matt another option to throw to. Mike Williams had a great game with 10 catches for 123 yards. Williams size created a lot of opportunity for him because the Bears had nobody to match up against him.The ground game was very effective on Sunday and it helped Matt settle down and get in a grove of not worrying about making bad decision. This was the first game in a long time for Matt to not throw a pick. The defense was all over Jay Cutler and had him on the ground for 6 sacks. Gus Bradly the defensive coordinator must have watched the NY Giants game tapes when the Bears o-line let the Giants sack Cutler 9 times in the first half. Both sides of the ball played well and this was a needed victory for the Hawks. Now the task is to continue playing hard on both sides and capture the NFC West title. This teams has the talent to do it and they have the right personnel to lead them there to the promise land. It all starts this Sunday when the Arizona Cardinals come into town. The Hawks now have to get it in their heads that they the Cardinals are to team to beat to get back the TITLE that once belonged to them for four straight years. Lets go SEAHAWKS. WIN FOREVER.
