Preview: UCLA at Washington Huskies

The Washington Huskies are favorites
by 3.5 points though at home and have a long home winning streak. Also UCLA won their last out between both teams in 2022  40-32. 

UCLA has a 4-5 record while Huskies
are 5-5. The game is Friday night at
6pm on ESPN+. I don't like game on
that channel since have to pay extra.
I suppose could get the channel and cancel shortly after. The Bruins have
an overall of 42-32-2 over the Huskies.
They have played each other  since 
1932.

UCLA beat Iowa last week 20-17. Ethan
Garbers is UCLA'S quarterback was
redshirted a year at Washington before
transferring to the Bruins. Garbers has a completion rate 64.8 percent this year.
He has thrown 22 touchdowns while
having 11 interceptions. The key is for
the Huskies to get at least one interception that can make a difference
in the game.

The Bruins ran last week 211 yards 
against Iowa. This was the Huskies
trouble last week against Penn State
so be important the Huskies defense
turns things around.  TJ Harden that 
the most carries having 20 for 125.
Iowa's Kaleb Johnson had only 49
against the Bruins so it will be 
important that Jonah Coleman
rebounds from what he  did against
Penn State.

Will Rogers is expected to be the
starting qb against the Bruins. A
lot of Huskies fans want to go
with freshman Demond Williams 
Jr.. If the Huskies get off to slow
start we may see Williams soon. 
The freshman is the future so
unless Rogers does a good job
giving Williams the helm makes 
sense.  

The defense will have to do 
better than they did last week.
They often make adjustments
at halftime however against 
Penn State was too late.

Winning this for the Huskies is a
must if they want to make a bowl
game. Go Dawgs!
