Not only do we have to play UW after a bye, we have to travel to Seattle. The powers in the PAC12 knew when making this schedule that it would be a big game for both teams. It seems like this is a subtle favor to UW. Oh well, great teams need to step it up and we need to prove we are indeed a great team.
That bye week advantage may be mitigated by us having a bye after Washington. If Huntley or anybody else gets a little banged up it’s a little less risky to leave them in knowing we have next week off. I think having that upcoming bye will allow us to be more aggresive, especially in the QB run game.
