But really, Peterson took a young team with no QB into a hostile environment, where no one but BSU tends to win, and nearly tied a veteran Boise St. squad to force OT. Washington came back from 16-0 to make it a game, despite not having an offense.
The Moore angle you took is silly, but that's been pointed out sufficiently above.
I'm not sure why, but UW has proven to be a tough gig for quite a while now. I'd expect Pete to equal or build upon Sark's success. Whether that's enough to keep him in Seattle long term, I could not say.
