This Week

This game is far from a “gimme” against Cal. A month ago, the Golden Bears were a borderline top-25 team. Washington should continue running the football as they have all season. The key, however, will be stopping Cal’s rushing game and tailback Patrick Laird. It could be another big day for BBK.

Covering 12 points against a good rushing team on the road may be a tough task. Washington is better across the board than their hosts. The Huskies are good for a seven-point win and to continue their part in making this year’s Apple Cup something above and beyond.
