Football Weekend

After last Saturday games with the
Huskies being upset in a big way
and the Cougars to though a closer
game. Let's try it again with a
better outcome.

The Huskies game certainly was

a big surprise loss. They were 

without their three starting receivers

along with running backs Sean

McGrew and Kamari Pleasants.

Not sure what happened with them.

I hope they return this week against

Michigan.

The Michigan Wolverines are favored

now by a touchdown  against the 

Huskies where Washington was 

expected to win being ranked #20

going into week one. 

Actually Ja'Lynn Polk a transfer from

Texas Tech did start, however, he was

injured on the one pass he caught for

13 yards. Monday's press conference

Coach Jimmy Lake said Polk is lost

for the season. Also, the other two

starters are day to day and may miss

this weeks game too. The Huskies

have a depth problem at wide receiver.

Lake said could move a player or two

to receiver as well. 

The WSU Cougars will need to improve

this week in performance as well. They

will be taking on Portland State at 3 pm.

They should be favored and they do need

to win because next week they take on

USC Trojans to start the Pac-12 schedule.

The Seahawks will be taking on the Colts

in Indianapolis on Sunday. It will be a 

morning game here in the Pacific time

zone. Left tackle Duane Brown did get

a bonus so he will be in the lineup. 

Carson Wentz  the Colts starting quarterback

is expected to start the game after being 

injured for most of training camp. If he 

can't go or they want to limit Wentz snaps

former Husky Jacob Eason can be pressed

into action as the Colts number two qb.

It will be interesting to see the Seahawks

new offense since we didn't see Russell

Wilson and most of the starters during 

the three preseason games. The Seahawks

should be expected to run the ball more

than pass. The new offense though we will

see Wilson throwing more shorter passes

than long ones which we have been

accustomed to. I am sure the long passes

are still in the play book though. It will be

good to see Lockett's speed and DK

Metcalf running over defensemen. 

Another difference we will see more

of Wilson under the center instead of

at shut gun. Fans be ready to go too.

Though the game is on the road the

team still needs to feel the 12th man.
