The Utes open conference play this Saturday as they welcome Chris Peterson and the #10 Washington Huskies in a highly anticipated PAC-12 showdown that has the potential to set the tone for the rest of the season for both teams.
Much like Utah, the Washington offense has shown a great deal of potential through the first two weeks but has sputtered out in crucial moments. Prior to the start of the season, Jake Browning and Myles Gaskin were viewed as one of the best quarterback/running back duos in the nation, poised to lead their team all the way through the College Football Playoff, but after a week one loss to Auburn and a largely uninspiring win again North Dakota the following week, a lot of the excitement around the Huskies offensive stars has fizzled.
