Stanford cruises past Huskies, 31-14

Now, I usually hate having to channel my inner Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless, but this week I felt pretty confident in making a bold prediction: That if Stanford beat Washington, there is no team remaining on Stanford’s schedule that can beat the Cardinal, and Stanford will win out. Oregon State freshman tight end Ryan Nall ran for 122 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries, but the Beavers fell to 0-4 in conference. So it rated as a surprise when the Huskies – or Gaskin, mostly – quickly scored a touchdown to start the second half.

It went about how you might expect for a freshman who had attempted only three passes in his college career on the road against the No. 10 team in the country. “That’s why we all play”. Myles Gaskin is the leading rusher for Washington with 606 yards and 6 touchdowns. The Arizona offense is averaging 41.8 points per game with 535.1 yards per game. “We’re still a little inconsistent there, but at times we come off and we’re physical; you can hear it and feel it”.

But asked if there’s hope Browning can return next week against Arizona, Petersen replied: “Oh, yeah”.

“I kind of had an idea of where it was going to land and from there instincts took over, ” Owusu said. That being said, the O’Dea product has been the only consistent source of offensive production for Washington, and it hasn’t been enough in recent weeks.

Across town, UCLA posted a decisive win against Cal on Thursday night in front of 2017 defensive end Javaris Steward. After a season opening loss at Northwestern 16-6, the Cardinal have won 5 straight games.

The 3-3 Washington Huskies travel to 5-1 Stanford Cardinal Saturday night in a key Pac 12 game.

So bad that only 10 of those plays actually gained yardage.

The Huskies were 0 of 5 on third-down conversions in the first half and headed to the lockerroom with a mere 58 yards of offense.

More than 100 guests, including several former players, were entertained by host Matt Doyle, senior associate athletics director and director of football operations.

Hogan completed 17 of his 24 pass attempts for 290 yards and two touchdowns, though he did throw an interception to UW safety Budda Baker late in the fourth quarter. I saw on film that he was a great back and a great receiver. Brian Clay missed the first half due to his targeting penalty, and when he returned in the 2nd half he got burned on multiple occasions. “We celebrate the win but we’ll get back to business”.

It’s hard to pin down exactly how these guys did – not only did they not get a lot of opportunities given the way the game went, the lack of time KJCS frequently had to throw and a number of off-target (or tipped) throws, ESPN rarely shows the whole alignment at the LOS so it’s hard to see what the receivers are doing off the snap.

Petersen said a few of the issues in the passing game are due to UW’s youth along the offensive line, and that the Huskies’ run blocking has been better so far than their pass protection.

From a betting standpoint, the injury doesn’t matter because we like the under, which is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings between these two teams. Both played, but they didn’t spend almost as much time on the field as they usually do – Bierria still finished with five tackles, and Feeney had one – and UW’s defense suffered as a result.

PULLMAN – It has been said that the Washington State football program lost its innocence when it hired Mike Leach.
