#7 Washington vs. Montana

Date: Saturday, September 9th

Time: 5:00pm PDT

Location: Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium

TV: Pac-12 Networks

Streaming: Pac-12.com

Radio: KOMO AM 1000

Excitement Rating: 10/10 (It’s the Dawgs, at least wait until halftime to check in on USC-Stanford. It’s also FBS vs. FCS so actual rating 1/10)

The Washington Huskies will journey home after opening the season on the opposite coast at Rutgers. This game will likely not be in doubt for very long as the Huskies are given a 98.9% chance of victory per ESPN’s Football Power Index. There is no betting line because they aren’t typically placed for games between FBS and FCS teams. Still, there are always things to learn about the team even in what should be a glorified scrimmage and you only get up to 15 chances to watch the team play every year. For those interested in the other Pac-12 games, here is the information for the other conference games.

Excitement Rating: 10/10 (For real this time). This is one of the two most hotly anticipated games in the conference all season long and if your eyes wander during the Husky game, I can’t really blame you. A win for USC means a win at Stanford later in the year for the Huskies would all but seal up the North if things go as planned.
