The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - wake up bright and early Saturday morning to talk about all things UW and Stanford, as the Huskies clash with the Cardinal at 7:30 p.m. tonight. The game is on ESPN, and you can find out how to watch, stream or listen to the game HERE.
The guys talk about the struggles that have befallen the Cardinal of late, losing quarterback KJ Costello, having only seven healthy scholarship offensive lineman, and putting up frankly some ghastly defensive numbers.
They also talk about what they expect Washington to do on offense and defense to get the job done down at the Farm. They briefly talk about a couple of the in-state players that signed with Stanford out of high school - Connor Wedington and Foster Sarell - and how their careers have gone so far.
Stanford has some offensive weapons, led by tight end Colby Parkinson and running back Cameron Scarlett, and the guys break down their games and what they expect UW to try and do to limit their effectiveness.
They also look at Stanford's defense and take a crack at why they aren't effective to date, at least statistically. They are decent stopping the run (44th nationally), but have been horrid with their pass defense (126th in the country in pass efficiency defense) and they haven't been able to get off the field either (127th in the country in third-down percentage defense).
Scott Eklund wonders, could this be a game where some of the younger UW receivers break out? Maybe Puka Nacua, Austin Osborne, or Marquis Spiker? We'll see.
The guys also talk about the atmosphere surrounding a game day experience at Stanford, the smaller crowds, the lack of noise and energy compared to the rest of the environments around the Pac-12, and how Washington will have to deal with that just as much as how they had to deal with a packed LaVell Edwards Stadium and a 'white-out' crowd at BYU.
