Preseason Opponent Preview: Washington’s offense

u200bUtah begins Pac-12 play in week three in a late-night matchup against northern division heavyweight, Washington. Helmed by Chris Petersen, entering his fifth year with the Huskies, and starring senior phenoms Jake Browning (QB) and Myles Gaskin (RB), the Utes will be looking to snap a two-game losing streak against the Huskies and establish themselves as a legitimate contender in the race for the Pac-12 title.

u200bLeading a crop of mostly veteran talent is senior quarterback Jake Browning. After an impressive 2016 campaign that ended with the final seed in the College Football Playoff, Browning’s numbers dipped dramatically in 2017, passing for only 19 touchdowns and 2,544 yards, compared to 43 TD’s and 3,430 yards the previous season.
