VTF: Washington v. BYU Preview
Returning for the Huskies on offense are Jake Locker - QB - #10, Jermaine Kearse - WR - #15 and Chris Polk - RB - #1. These three accounted for 2/3 of the Huskie's TDs last year. Jake Locker is, in many people's eyes, capable of winning the Heisman Trophy this year. Chris Polk rushed for over 1,100 yards last year as a sophomore. I would expect this offense to test our Cougar defense.
Speaking of the Cougar defense, these guys come into the season with a lot of question marks in terms of proof, but if they translate what they have been doing on the practice field to the game field, then BYU fans need not worry. Up front we have increased our size and speed in our front 3. The Linebackers will most likely be by committee other than Jordan Pendleton's SOLB spot. The secondary is veteran, smart and very athletic.
I would expect Washington to come out and try to establish the run game right away. If they can start to get the secondary to commit to run support then the play action game will be huge for the Huskies.
