Stanford Has Made Easy Work Of Washington
Stanford packs its bags to take on Washington in a marquee Pac-12 matchup Friday night. The Cardinal have long held dominance over the Huskies, as Stanford has won seven of the past eight meetings between the two teams. Could things be different this time with the Pac-12 lead on the line?
We all know just how important Christian McCaffrey is to Stanford’s offense, but Ryan Burns proved he can put the team on his back when necessary. The veteran quarterback went 5-for-8 for 66 yards and a touchdown on the final drive of the game for Stanford last week.
Jake Browning and Washington has looked good so far this season, though against a fairly soft non-conference schedule. Browning has completed over 70 percent of his passes while tossing 14 touchdowns and just two picks. It’s not just the Huskies’ offense that has been rolling, as the defense has held opponents to 14.5 points per game.
