The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together and gave their final thoughts about all the different matchups and permutations surrounding No. 12 Oregon traveling north to Seattle to face No. 25 Washington at Husky Stadium.
With a 12:30 pm kickoff on ABC in rainy conditions in October, the only thing this game is missing is Keith Jackson, followed by a Sunday breakdown featuring Don James and Bruce King.
Grinolds, Fetters and Eklund hit on these bullet points...
The weather conditions and environment coming into the game.
Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert and UW needing to get after him, and how he'll try to deal with the away crowd.
Oregon not having a true every-down back like they had with Royce Freeman.
Oregon's impressive offensive line, including Penei Sewell and two Washington-based players, Shane Lemieux and Calvin Throckmorton.
Washington trying to get something down down the field against Oregon's youngish, but very talented secondary.
Who is going to win the battle in the red zone?
How is UW going to handle Oregon nose tackle Jordon Scott?
Kickers, and how UW has one and Oregon doesn't.
Recruiting notes, including who we expect to be at the game, and also some thoughts on a 5-star basketball prospect that will be on an official visit to UW this weekend, Cade Cunningham.
Final thoughts on the keys to the game.
