BYU is experienced, big and slow. If you allow the Cougars to run the football and control the clock they can hang around. BYU QB Tanner Mangum gets just 5.3 yards per pass and 3 TDs in 116 pass attemps, and has very little mobility. Washington’s defense is No. 3 in the country and will pin their ears back on the run blitz. It is also about time the offense breaks out.
The most points the Huskies have allowed is 21 -- and that was to Auburn in a five-point loss. BYU isn't Auburn. That was at a "neutral" site (Atlanta), while this is at Huskie Stadium. In fact, my advanced computer projects the Cougars to struggle getting into the double-digits against the Washington defense. I don't foresee similar issues on the other side of the ball, as the Huskies should put up enough points to cover here.
