Washington dismissed Oregon State this past Saturday with little fanfare as we all expected. It’s next Saturday that will bring us the most fun as the Huskies travel to face No. 16 ranked Utah on the road in Salt Lake City. This game is huge for two reasons, one you finally give Washington that tough road atmosphere that they’ve been needing and two you have another showcase game for Huskies QB Jake Browning. For the season, Browning has collected a total of 30 TD’s and just two interceptions and a win against Utah moves him a step closer to a Heisman invite.
At some point, we’re going to have to realize that Michigan is beating teams that aren’t so great. Rutgers isn’t good, Illinois is nothing to write home about. However, the Wolverines have played very well in each of those games. It could be one thing to see Michigan struggling with lesser teams but in some ways, aside from Wisconsin and part of the Colorado game, they’ve put the hammer down on everybody they’ve played.
Next for Michigan is their toughest test of the season so far, the Spartans from Michigan State. It could be interesting to see how this Michigan team handles Spartan Stadium. They’ve had it easy in their lone road test of 2016, they beat Rutgers 78-0, not sure we’ll see that on Saturday.
