#138 ASA PLAY ON Washington -5.5 over Washington State, Saturday at 3:30 PM ET - This game is in Seattle at the Seahawks home stadium. Washington lost a ton of production off of last year’s team that played for the National Championship but they’ve been flying under the radar so far this season. New HC Jedd Fisch, who led Arizona to a 10-3 record last year, and new QB Rogers who transferred from Mississippi State, have this team clicking early in the year. They are currently 8th in the nation in YPP differential at +4.5. They handled one of the top team in FCS, Weber State, 35-3 and outgained them by 230 yards. Last week they beat Eastern Michigan 30-9 but the stats were much worse than that with the Huskies outgained the Eagles by 300 yards. Wazzou is in a similar situation losing nearly all of their production from last year (113th in returning yards & 109th in returning tackles). The Cougars beat Portland State (bad FCS team) to open the season and then beat Texas Tech in Pullman last week. Tech had a multitude of key players that had to sit out that game including top RB Boyd along with a number of defensive starters and the Red Raiders had 4 turnovers in that game. While Washington and Washington State haven’t played a common opponent, let’s focus on their FCS opponents in week 1. That’s because those 2 opponents played each other in week 2. As we mentioned, the Huskies outgained Weber State by 230 yards in week 1. Wazzou outgained Portland State by 185 yards in week 1. Weber State played Portland State last week and rolled to an easy 43-16 win outgaining PSU by 300 yards! You get the point. Washington has covered 16 of the last 23 meetings in this rivalry along with 12 of the last 14 SU. Huskies get another won and cover in Seattle on Saturday.
