Here is a team that often in the last few games shown how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Looking at the kind of talent Washington Huskies possess, it really is surprising to see them languishing at any spot below the number 1 position. Huskies? supporters blame this on a defeatist attitude built up in the players of Huskies.



If that really is the case, consider a lot of talent wasted by the roadside. But with Sarkisian at the helm of the affairs, things could pan out differently for the Washington Huskies. For a change, Sarkisian himself is a man of no mincing words. From the day he arrives at the Huskies, he would make no bones of the fact that he would like to win at all costs. Maybe, this could be the impetus Huskies need.

Huskies for one, cannot boast of missing one thing ? Quality players. They have this through all the ranks. They have good quality offensive line players. They have quality running backs. They also have good quality receivers and defense line. Put all of them together, and be surprised that this team has lost so many matches. In essence, this could really be the rarest of rare cases when a team has all the fundamentals in place, yet is not able to deliver the goods consistently.

Yes, there is an odd victory here and there, but considering the quality of players Huskies have, this should be a frequent occasion, not an aberration. People who have been closely following the performance of Washington Huskies term this as individual complacence. People believe that players in the Huskies believe a lot in them but do not believe as a team. Statistically, the percentage of individual runs in Huskies? games is uncomfortably high. It could yet work out against a couple of teams, but in the long run, may prove dangerous.

Sarkisian for a change though has a problem, which if he wants, can be solved within a matter of days. For starters, he would have to get the team believing as a unit. He must make them think that winning matches is possibly more important than winning a few points here and there. Knowing Sarkisian and his background, this may not be a tough task. Or does it seem so?

You could wake up a person who is sleeping but try waking a person who is pretending to sleep? Given this statement, some hard decisions may be taken by Sarkisian. He has to take them in the best interests of the team, and there are no two ways about it. All said and done, it is for the world to see if Sarkisian can bring about change in fortunes of the Huskies. Well, looking at how Sarkisian manages things, this seems to be a reality!
