Friday's Look At Huskies and Cougars

Washington Huskies and WSU Cougars are both favored on 

Saturday. Huskies play at home against Boise State. They are 

favored by two touchdowns however 

this will be difficult of the two games.

Michael Penix Jr is the starter however Dylan Morris will be 

his backup once again. Hopefully Morris will see action in 

the second half.

Wide receiver starters are still the same guys. Denzel Boston, 

Germie Bernard and freshmen Taeshaun will be their backups. 

Hope to see them in the fourth quarter.

Cameron Davis out for the season so transfer Dillon Johnson 

is the starter with Will Nixon at number two. Sure to

see a few other running backs as well.

Redshirt freshman Parker Brailsford is the surprise being the 

starter at right guard. The Huskies are known for rotation on 

both offensive and defensive lines so the backups will get plenty 

opportunities. Matteo Mele will get most of the reps st center 

especially when Penix is in at qb.

The tight end was a competition as well. Devin Culp won the

 job as starter and  Jack Westover will see plenty of action. 

He is more the blocker of the two. May see him in at fullback 

in short yardage cases. We will have to see who ends up being

number three.

On defense is as anticipated for the starters however the 

backups are experiences and see plenty of action. Who is 

in.will primarily be players best against the run or passing game.

Boise State is a running team and starting  out going that 

direction. However they fall behind early we should see 

their passing game in action.

The Cougars are a 10.5 favorite while being

on.the road. Cameron Ward returns as qb for the second 

season. They hope backup redshirt freshman John Mateer 

will see some action too.

At wide receiver they have two transfers  in Josh Kelly and 

Kyle Williams. Lincoln Victor is the third receiver.

For the first time in a long time the Cougars have a tight end. 

Cooper Mathers won the starting spot.

The two primary running backs will be starter Nakia Watson 

and Jaylen Jenkins.

Offensive line brings experience along with young guys 

as backups. 

On defense the Cougars bring back experience however 

have a couple  transfers. At middle linebacker will be

Devin Richardson a senior transfer from the Texas 

Longhorns. The other is junior Kapena Gushiken who played 

two years of junior college ball.

Now we will see on Saturday as the two games as 

expected. Go Dawgs and Cougs.
