BYU was able to handle Wisconsin’s trademark power. Washington’s speed and offensive balance will be another deal altogether

Seattle • Even the BYU football program’s most fervent detractors had to admit that the Cougars’ stunning 24-21 win over then-No. 6 Wisconsin was impressive, given how it came in the face of 80,000 Badgers fans a year after that infamous 40-6 beatdown at home.

But we’re here to tell you that if the No. 20-ranked Cougars can knock off No. 11 Washington on Saturday night at Husky Stadium, it would be an even more noteworthy accomplishment.

The Cougars in coach Kalani Sitake’s third season have slowly built a Wisconsin-style attack, and it served them well at two weeks ago at Camp Randall.
