First of all, welcome to Seattle. Always fun to host a classy program like BYU. We are on a roll and think we'll catch BYU at just the right time. Here is why we win this week.
1. Jack "Cobra" Browning -the best white player on the field, enough said on that. With one year under his bet he will do everything possible to win the game.
2. Offensive Line - They average a weight of 332 lbs across the line, they are ready to dominate the line of scrimmage. Adams, Brostek, MacGeary, Center, Ossai, Rapp, Wattenburg, etc. These boys have attitude and are ready to rumble.
3. Kawasaki - New Defensive Scheme and a new attitude. Every UW player has spoke out about the difference between Kawasaki against Arizona and Kawasaki against Stanford, they will see a much improved defense on 10/15
4. Speed, Speed, Speed - This is the fastest UW has been in a long time. Jordan Chin, Diamante Cooper, Sean Constantine, Benning Potato, Sidney Jones, Chico McClutchens, John Ross, Ossai etc. Their newbies are inexperienced but will bring something that they have lacked in past seasons, speed.
5. Time of Possession - UW dominates the time of possession stat. The more they can shorten the game and keep their defense off of the field, the better chance they have to win the game.
I think UW will win rather easily....say, 34-17?
