Washington is coming into this game with a 3-4 record overall and they are 1-2 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. This will be their 5th conference matchup of the year and they are not off to the best start with a 2-2 record in their conference games this season. Their 2 losses came against the Oregon State Beavers and the UCLA Bruins while their 2 wins came against the California Golden Bears and against Arizona in their last game. That win snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. They beat Arizona in a game that they were down the entire first half losing 13-0 at halftime but pulled off the second half comeback holding Arizona to 3 points in that half. Dylan Morris played alright in that game as he completed 13/21 passes for 217 yards and 2 touchdowns. Sean McGrew led the team in rushing with 43 yards on 17 carries but they did not really get much of a run game going in that one. Terrell Bynum had a very nice day as he led the team in receiving with 143 yards and 1 touchdown on 5 receptions. Asa Turner led the defense in that game with 4 solo tackles and 5 assisted ones while Julius Irvin was right behind with 4 solo tackles. Tuli Letuligasenoa and Zion Tupuola-Fetui both had 1 sack each in that game while Turner and Letuligasenoa both had 1 interception each. They have scored 162 points in their 7 games this season averaging 23.1 PPG and they have allowed their opponents to score 138 points against them allowing 19.7 PPG. Their offense is averaging 353.3 YPG while their defense is allowing 334.7 YPG.

 

 

Stanford is coming into this college football game with a 3-4 record overall and they are 1-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 6th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are basically out of the running with a 2-3 record in their conference games this season. Their 2 wins came against the USC Trojans and the Oregon Ducks while their 3 losses came against the UCLA Bruins, the Arizona State Sun Devils, and against WSU in their last game. They have lost 2 games straight coming into this one. Their last loss was a close game in the end that they were leading in the first quarter and then let the game get away from then having to make a comeback in the 4th quarter but it was not enough. Tanner McKee played alright in their last game as he completed 23/32 passes for 273 yards and 2 touchdowns. Nathaniel Peat led the team in rushing with 27 yards on 10 carries but they did not get anything going in the run game in that one. Benjamin Yurosek led the team in receiving with 99 yards and 1 touchdown on 5 receptions while Austin Jones had 75 yards and 1 touchdown on 9 receptions. Levani Damuni led the defense in that game with 5 solo tackles and 7 assisted ones. He also had the only sack for them in that game while no one on the defense came away with any interceptions. They have scored 186 points in their 7 games this season averaging 26.6 PPG and they have allowed their opponents to score 196 points against them allowing 28 PPG. Their offense is averaging 351.7 YPG while their defense is allowing 408.6 YPG.

 

Washington is coming into this game as a 2 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. They have been playing much better in their recent games than Stanford has and have been keeping the games close even when they lose. Washington has a very good defense that does not even allow 20 points per game this season. Their offense is not that good though as they do not even average 25 points scored per game. Stanford's defense allows more points while their offense scores more points but they are going to struggle to move the ball on this good defense and this will likely be a run heavy game. The best bet to place in this game is on Washington to cover the spread here, upset Stanford on the moneyline winning straight up, and on the under as neither team is going to score a lot here keeping this a low scoring game.

Washington Huskies: Sean McGrew is one player to watch in this contest. He leads his team in rushing yards and in touchdowns scored this season. He is coming off of a game where he was quiet with under 50 yards rushing but still led the team. They will want to run the ball here to control the pace of this game so look for him to get a lot of touches here and have a better game.

 

Stanford Cardinal: Quarterback Tanner McKee is one player to watch here.He leads his team in passing yards this season and is the starting quarterback for this team. He had a good game in their last one and he will need to throw the ball in this game as Washington has a very good rush defense. Look for him to make the big plays in this game to help his team get the win.

 

 

"They were going on that drive, three, four yards at a time. That interception by Tuli was a huge charge to the sideline, the offense, the defense, the whole team." - Jimmy Lake on their win against Arizona in their last game.

 

 

"Our guys showed great resilience in the second half. We played so well in the second half on defense, but we gave up explosive plays, and we gave up the opportunity to win the game." - David Shaw on his team’s win in their last game over WSU.
