  1) Eason can be hit and miss. He looked all-world against TDS, and absolutely terrible against Stanford. He has the raw talent, but doesn’t seem to have Browning’s heart. If he has a bad day, even Petersen’s coaching won’t be able save them. Which Eason will show up on Sat?
  
  2) Our kicking game has been suspect, to put it mildly. If the game is close, this could be the difference maker. Do we still keep going on 4th and long?
  
  3) Penalties played a huge part in the USC loss. At home, we’re averaging 20 yards in penalties; in away games, that average escalates to 86.3. How will the team cope with the relentless UW atmosphere?
  
  4) We have not needed trick plays until now, but that could change on Sat. Can we execute them on the big stage if the time comes?
  
  What else?

  Good list.
  
  One other thing is the Chris Petersen issue. He seems to have Whitt’s number.

  Can Eason get rid of the ball really quickly? That is the key for Washington. I personally hope they try to have him stay in there and expect their Oline to block for him.

  Blitz Eason early and blitz him often. He’s an entirety differ QB when he’s under pressure. Mix up coverages and blitzes keep him guessing.
  
  His lack of mobility causes him to make quick throws when under pressure. His complete toon percentage goes way way down when pressured.

  To answer #2
  
  YES we will go for it on 4th down. Washington’s 4th down defense is 120th in the country, while Utah’s 4th down offense is 30th.
