I figured that if Cal looked sharp last Saturday and Washington came out flat, Washington would be primed for an upset this week. Instead, the complete opposite happened, as Washington annihilated a very good Eastern Washington team— the team that beat UC Davis in the FCS playoffs last year.
Quarterback
After seeing how sharp Jacob Eason looked in his opening game, a lot of my preseason optimism for this matchup has evaporated. A quarterback being rated “5 stars” by recruiting agencies alone doesn’t mean all that much—it means they have a lot of potential, and plenty of players never live up to that potential.
