Huskies Waiting To Hear

 After their big win on Friday night over Colorado 41-10 in the Pac-12 conference championship game the Huskies are waiting to see where they go next. The Huskies are expected to be in the NCAA playoffs for the national championship for the very first time.

The Huskies are supposed to be named the fourth team out of four teams to play. Alabama is expected to be number one followed by Ohio State, Clemson and Washington. If it actually comes out this way the Huskies will play Alabama in the first round.

The game won’t play until January so the Huskies have plenty of time to prepare for however they play. The thing about Coach Chris Peterson is that he is like another Husky coach by the name of Don James. Being given plenty of time to prepare for a team especially being an underdog which the Huskies will be Peterson gives them a great chance to go in and upset Alabama.

The thing about the Huskies is that they play well both on offense and defense. The other teams are good on one side or the other but not necessarily both. I expect that Jake Browning who did not throw that well against Colorado will be ready to go in the first game. Chris Peterson is a former quarterback himself so he will have Browning all ready to go. He will let his assistant coaches to prepare the rest of the players. The Huskies ran the ball very well against Colorado with their two top running backs Myles Gaskin and Lavon Coleman both running for more than one hundred yards. Also their top receive John Ross will be set to score a few touchdowns himself. The question cans Alabama or any other team defensive backs keep up with Ross.

On the defensive side the Huskies have really good defensive backs in Bubba Baker, Kevin King and freshman Taylor Rapp who intercepted two passes against Colorado. He was named the most valuable player of the game. Can you imagine the Huskies will have Rapp for at least two more years. He likely will go into the NFL after his junior year if he continues playing the way he has as a true freshman.

Whatever the Huskies do in this playoff coming up the future is bright for them. We may be seeing them play for the championship for many years ahead. The Huskies are making sure that Coach Peterson will stay around for some time.

I hope that the Washington State Cougars have a great bowl game as well wherever they end up. It would be nice to see them continue good as well that way the Apple Cup can be the primary game of the season going into the Pac-12 championship.

For the next month if we are Husky or Cougar fans along with Gonzaga we have to watch some basketball. I am not sure where the Huskies and Cougars will end up however Gonzaga is expected to have another real good team. Whatever the case we will have a good holiday season when it comes to college sports here in Washington State.

Until next time enjoy the Seahawks playing Carolina tonight on Sunday night football. We hope for another good victory. So we can say Go Seahawks along with the Huskies and Cougars. Great football from some good football teams.
