Ohio State at Washington

[Jameso]

I can't wait to see where the Huskies really are. I knew with 100% certainty that they would handle Boise State last week, though they managed to make it interesting the whole way. Offensive play calling in the second half was lame, WR's killed several drives with their hands of stone, and they played a top 25 team that probably shouldn't have been so highly rated. This is the first of many tests for Locker and the Huskies. I think that playing at Husky Stadium makes this game a toss-up. I really don't know where the Huskies belong after beating a bad high school team in Syracuse and then beating a Boise State team of unknown quality.

My gut instinct is that the Huskies squeak by and Locker does just enough to make up for Rankin being nailed in the backfield every other time he touches the ball.

Husky D will hold its own, but those young corners scare me. Against Syracuse they were beaten over and over agian, but the Syracuse QB was missing badly. I saw 4 or 5 interference penalties that didn't get called because the ball was uncatchable. Against Boise State the defense seemed to be laying way off and closing quickly. EJ Savannah and Greyson Gunheim look like they'll be earning some honors this year.

Jake Locker looks like a horse. On the first play against Boise State I was stunned at how fast that boy is. He bounced the play outside and ran by two DB's. 4.4/40? I think so. At 225 lbs he should be able to get into the secondary and absolutely crush some DB's this year. I think the huskies go bowling this year and win the apple cup by a score of 52-14 because the cougars suck and I hate them more than any team on the face of the planet.
