You don't have to lose ugly to start winning. Sometimes, it takes losing a game to get a team motivated. This team was knocking on the door of the top 25 at 2-1 with wins over USC and Tennessee on the road. Washington should have been all the motivation that was needed. Should we now go lose to liberty ot Umass because we've won two in a row and need to be humbled again?

There are no excuses for losing to those teams except poor coaching and poor execution. That's it.
