The Washington Huskies are in contention for the college football playoffs and they have been getting it done with offense. The Huskies are averaging 48.3 points per game this season, which has resulted in six of their seven games going OVER – a record that jumps to 9-1 dating back to the end of last season. They will look to prove their place among the top teams when they take on the ranked Utah Utes on Saturday.
Shark Bites
- Jake Browning went 23-for-39 with 1 touchdown and 1 interception against Utah last season.
- Utah is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games after winning as an underdog.
- Washington is 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games against teams with winning records.
The Huskies are riding a 10-game winning streak, which is the second-longest active streak in the FBS. In those 10 games, dating back to Nov. 21, 2015, Washington has outscored opponents by 32.9 points per game. It is also worth noting that the Huskies have only faced two ranked opponents in that span.
Despite posting a 7-1 record on the year, there are some cracks underneath the surface for Utah. The Utes defense has a tendency to give up big plays and the offensive line is not great at pass protection. However, running back Joe Williams has accounted for 511 rushing yards and five touchdowns in the past two games.
