Game Thread: #12 Utah Utes vs. Washington Huskies

[TheDman875]

I watched Chiefs' games until they were 1-4...I got sick of Andy Reid (and the other coaches) giving away games they could have won. The NFL is alright, but I don't get overly involved in it until playoff time.

Is Peters in the starting rotation?

Starting corner and he might make the Pro Bowl. He leads the team in INTs and PDs so far. I never did think Andy Reid had the makeup as a head coach. He'd make a decent coordinator somewhere though.

Too bad Amari Cooper is going to rip his ass open and spelt was it all around the 50 yard line later on this season

The Raiders were one of my sleeper playoff picks this year. So far so good.

Let's go Utes!

Fuck Washington and USC at the same time.

Washington defense ranks first in the Pac-12 in scoring defense (16.9ppg) and red-zone defense (75.0 percent).

*Washington leads the Utah series 8-0
*Washington has outscored opponents 104-28 in the third quarter
*Washington has held five teams to 17 points or less

“This is another type of program,” Petersen said, “that you’re going, ‘OK, this is kind of what we’d like our guys to look like here down the road.’”

And that mostly starts with Utah’s defense, which hasn’t allowed a 100-yard rusher since November 2014 — a span of 10 games — and allows opponents to rush for only 113.1 yards per game and 3.47 yards per carry, both of which rank atop the Pac-12.

The Utes (7-1, 4-1 in Pac-12) also allow only 21.4 points per game, a stingier scoring defense than every Pac-12 team but Washington.

“They’re not trying to fool you,” UW offensive coordinator Jonathan Smith said. “They’re running similar schemes, all eight games. But they’re something to be reckoned with.”

So if the Huskies (4-4, 2-3) are to record their first victory over a ranked opponent at Husky Stadium since beating No. 19 Boise State in the 2013 season opener — and continue their progress toward a bowl bid — they’re likely going to have to win a slugfest. And probably move the ball a little better than they did against Stanford, which held the Huskies to two first downs in the first half.

Quarterback Jake Browning returned last week from a shoulder injury and had his best game of the season, throwing for 263 yards and four touchdowns, without an interception, in the Huskies’ 49-3 ransacking of Arizona.

And while Utah has succeeded in assembling a salty defense, the Utes won’t inspire much fear with their offense. Star tailback Devontae Booker, the Pac-12’s third-leading rusher with 966 yards and nine touchdowns, is of most concern. But Utah’s passing game is fairly average — led by senior quarterback Travis Wilson, it ranks sixth in the conference in pass efficiency — and the Utes rank eighth in the league in scoring offense (33.8 points per game).

Against Washington’s top-ranked scoring defense, the Utes might struggle to move the ball.

A Husky wouldn't know what to do with a girl that says yes, you guys are all about the ones that are saying no

 

[RegentDenali]

Wazzy must be in a bad mood. The cougs are going bowling and Leach keeps his job for another year.

 

[RegentDenali]

Injuries of note.

Washington's NT Elijah Qualls is still dealing with an ankle injury and will be out tonight.

Utah is expected to be without its starting center, Siaosi Aiono, due to injury issues as well.

 

[pitman]

I would not be surprised if UW won, Looks like they a starting to click. Just hope it doesn't come down to clock management.

 

[RegentDenali]

Here with go.

 

[wazzu31]

Damn, looks like coach Pete will be fired before Leach.
