In last year’s game between the Huskies and the Scarlet Knights, Washington jumped out to a dominant 24-0 first-quarter lead thanks to three long touchdown passes to John Ross and Chico McClatcher. It’s quite possible for the Huskies to cover if the Dawgs win garbage time, but I don’t see that much of a blowout. Four touchdowns is a HUGE spread for a road team in a Power-5 game. Second half the Husky depth should prove to be too much for Rutgers and if the UW running game gets rolling the Huskies will take command. I like a closer game than last year with Rutgers having a better game plan to keep things interesting. The Scarlet Knights will be fired up and I foresee the environment being a hostile one. I’m expecting an improved Rutgers team to take the field on Friday night, and the UW secondary will be tested early. I don't imagine RU head coach Chris Ash likes his chances of stopping the run, so I expect a loaded box which likely means Jake Browning will air it out. So how does the UW Dawg Pound staff see tomorrow’s game unfolding? John SaylerĪs is Chris Petersen's mode of operation, the Husky offense will take what Rutgers is giving them. Though the Huskies begin their latest campaign on the road against a Power Five opponent, few expect the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers University to put up much of a fight against the Huskies, demonstrated by sports betting outfit Bovada favoring the Dawgs by 27.5 points.
Welcome to the promised land that is college football season. The Spring Preview on the Pac-12 Networks is but a distant memory fall camp is in the can and we are 24 hours from watching the Dawgs kick off their 2017 football season. It’s been nearly seven months since national signing day.
