He's already doing it. That kid that started against Washington last year was killing it and now Andersen says it's a QB battle. Fvk him. I forget that kids name but if Andersen doesn't start him he's a fool.

Eh, I liked Tyrone, he wasn't a whiney little girl, not a very good coach but wasn't a baby. And of course I was kidding about us beating you unless we win like 77-70, our secondary was the 2015 recruting classes projected receiving corp.
:wtf:

Predicting the Top 25 Defenses in College Football for 2017

9. Washington Huskies

What Makes Them Dangerous

High-octane offense was Washington's calling card en route to the College Football Playoff, but the Huskies were lethal on defense, too. They forced 33 turnovers to lead the nation in that category, and they only allowed 17.7 points per game. Look for Taylor Rapp to emerge as a defensive star. He had four interceptions last year as a true freshman.

Room for Improvement

Aside from Rapp, questions abound in the secondary. Sidney Jones, Budda Baker and Kevin King combined for six interceptions and 24 passes defended before each getting drafted in the second round last month. As a result, Rapp is the only returning player with more than one interception or more than two passes defended. Limiting opponents to 183 passing yards per game for a second straight season is unlikely.

2017 Projection

Though the Huskies need to figure out who the new stars are going to be in the secondary, they have quite the cushy start to the season (again) to figure it out. By the time they've finished beating up on Rutgers, Montana and Fresno State, they'll be well on their way to another quest for an undefeated season. Only this time, there's no regular-season game against USC standing in their way. They won't be quite as stingy on defense, but they'll give Jake Browning enough support for a lot of wins.

Predicting the Top 25 Offenses in College Football in 2017

13. Washington Huskies

What makes them dangerous: John Ross' departure stings, but Washington is well-prepared to keep rolling. Jake Browning is a calming presence at quarterback, and he has superb skill-position leaders in Myles Gaskin and Dante Pettis. Plus, the Huskies return four starters along the offensive line.

Room for improvement: We're certainly not underestimating Ross' value to the offense. The speedster forced secondaries to cheat toward him, and that created extra space for UW's other receivers. Pettis, as talented as he is, probably won't match Ross' gravity. The Dawgs need Aaron Fuller and some sophomores to complement Pettis and Chico McClatcher.

2017 projection: It's reasonable to think Washington's yards per play will dip while the offense's total rises slightly. The team put together so many blowouts last year that the Dawgs often spent fourth quarters killing the clock. Browning's ability to perform under pressure will be regularly tested—and will determine if that hypothesis is valid.

Honestly I think the offense will run the ball better, and more...

That two headed running game and the Oline gaining another of veteran status makes this even better, defenses will target the passing game, (short routes now that Ross is gone)

I was surprised myself not to see SC on there. That list is kind of screwy.
