BYU came into Husky Stadium Saturday evening with a #20 national ranking, a big win over a top 10 Wisconsin team, and the notion that they were a tough, physical team that wasn’t going to easily be pushed around by the Washington Huskies. The Cougars had averaged more than 175 yards per game on the ground in their first four games, and although they lack flash, likely didn’t expect to be bullied, either.
Then the game kicked off.
The difference in team speed was palpable at the outset, and Washington was dominant up front on both sides of the ball.
