Normally, I would shy away from a 34 point line against just about any opponent. There are too many ways for a team to get a back-door cover against the second-string, especially when UW’s starting defense has been less than stellar over the last year. On the other hand, last week’s performance against a pretty good Boise State team is a reminder of how easily UW can pile up points. The Dawgs’ receiving corps is so talented and deep that even a solid secondary is hopeless to hold up against them. Michael Penix is so many steps ahead of opposing defenders mentally that he knows where there will be help pre-snap and finds the receiver who is able to streak down the field in single coverage against an over-matched DB.
The Prediction: Tulsa Golden Hurricane
