It required overtime for Washington (Sagarin ranked #8 at the time, they dropped to #13 after the game) to put away their middling #58 Sagarin ranked opponent, Arizona, this past weekend.
The Huskies do not know what they have. The team is untested and performed poorly versus Arizona who allowed the same number of points to Hawaii the prior week during regulation (28). Does Stanford have issues? Sure, a one dimensional offense and a few key injuries. The difference is our passing game was unstoppable when we HAD to utilize it last week and our next-guys-up at the injured positions proved to be solid. Both "backup" CBs played the entire 2nd half versus UCLA where we gave up only 3 points and the replacement for Owusu caught three passes on our game winning drive including the TD.
Who should be more worried here?!
