At least the Huskies have a whole lot of 10's... and not the good kind.

The Washington offense is much closer to the Stanford unit than it is Arizona's. The Husky offense has severely regressed this year, starting with Keith Price. The quarterback has struggled all season long and has been unable to recapture the magic he found last year.

Of course the UW offense will be able to score on the Buffs, because everyone scores on the Buffs. But Colorado can move the ball on the ground in this one just like they were able to against the Wildcats. The Husky pass defense is much better than what we saw at Arizona, so Nick Hirschman or Connor Wood will have to step their game up.
