On Saturday afternoon, #4 Washington (7-0, 4-0) will come into Rice-Eccles Stadium looking to continue their undefeated season. Now in their third season under Chris Peterson, the Huskies received a lot of preseason hype. They have backed it up through the first half of the season, systematically destroying the majority of their opponents with scores like 44-6 (Stanford), 70-21 (Oregon), and 41-17 (Oregon State). Washington is winning their games by an average of 33.8 points per game. A big reason for that is the Husky defense.
Washington has the best scoring defense in the Pac-12 and is a top 10 defense in the country, ranking sixth in the nation in scoring defense.
