The Washington Huskies, led by coach Jedd Fisch, are off to a strong start with impressive wins over Weber State and Eastern Michigan. Despite ranking low in returning production, the Huskies have looked dominant on both sides of the ball. They face their rivals, the Washington State Cougars, in a Week 3 matchup.
It's an entirely new-look Washington team from a year ago but one that's started strong thanks to the coaching of Jedd Fisch . Up against rivals Washington State in Week 3, we like the Huskies to keep rolling.
Washington State, meanwhile, crushed Portland State 70-30 and notched a 37-16 Power Four win over Texas Tech. Offense has been the calling card but there are some concerns once you open the hood. Mateer has completed just 55.6% of his passes with one big-time throw, per PFF. The offense struggled with turnovers throughout camp, so it’s difficult to believe the Cougars can rely on maintaining its +4 turnover margin for long.
Jackson and Stone were integral parts of this defense and I don’t see how Jake Dickert replaces them. I thought the pass rush would struggle going into the year and so far it has played out that way — Washington State ranks 111st in PFF’s pass-rushing grade. Be sure to follow the weather forecast up until kickoff as the current projection is for an 88% chance of rain but winds of 8.1 mph that shouldn’t be too impactful.
