The big three football programs take
the field again this weekend. The Washington Huskies are the first taking on
the UCLA Bruins in Seattle. The Huskies had a bye week so they have time to
rest though they have had several key injuries so far in the season. I won’t
get into them however they do hurt the Huskies though they have good depth on
the team.
The Huskies now have to rebound
after a solid defeat to Arizona State on the road. UCLA does have a good
passing attack however the Huskies defense should be able to keep them at bay.
The Bruins are an average team having a 2-2 record in the conference and is
seated fourth in the south division of the Pac-12. In all they have a record of
4-3. The Huskies should win the game however the offense has to rebound from a
poor performance and the field kicking needs to improve especially if they are
in close games. They may have won the game against Arizona State if they had
made all their field goals.
Washington State Cougars take on
Arizona in an evening game at 6 pm. The Cougars recovered from loss two weeks
ago when they won last week. The Cougars can’t afford to make mistakes
especially on the road this week. Arizona has a good team as well being 3-1 in
Pac 12 and 5-2 overall. Unlike past
seasons the Cougars defense has been playing pretty good this season so they have
a chance to win.
On Sunday the Seahawks take on the
Houston Texans in Century Field. The Seahawks are favored by six points however
it will be important that they get off on good tracking in the first quarter.
They haven’t had a good first quarter as of yet this season. It must start with
the running game.
The Seahawks this week signed veteran
and former all pro defensive end Dwight Freeney. The Seahawks needed depth for
the loss of Cliff Avril who out for the season and maybe his career is over.
How much Freeney plays this week will be seen. Since he has been around for
fifteen years it is hard to know how much is left in the tank. If he can give
the Seahawks a few rounds to spell the other defensive ends that is all they
expect.
In soccer (American style) the
Seattle Sounders have a bye for the first round of playoffs being the second
seed. Again this season the Sounders started off slow but came along in the
second half to make the playoffs. Last year the Sounders won it all for MLS
championship. All the Sounder fans are hoping for this too repeat again this
year. We give them the best to do so.
The Houston Astros the Mariners
rival won the second game of the World Series rebounding in the late innings to
beat the Dodgers in Los Angeles 7-6. They had travel day off on Thursday and
return to Action in Houston. Not an easy task however to win the World Series
they have win all the games In Houston. Right now it looks like this series
will be exciting enough to go to the seventh game. Whatever the case us
baseball fans will enjoy and be thrilled. Now we have to see what tricks that
Dipoto has up his sleeves to get the Mariners into the playoffs and hopefully the
World Series next year. Go M’s.
