Let’s skip the formalities and get down to business. Here’s what to know about the Buffs’ defense:
Personnel
The Buffs frequent the 3-4 defense but will also go out to a 2-4-5/4-2-5 quite often. Since most of the Pac 12 defenses have a base nickel defense at this point (I mean, c’mon, it’s 2017 already) it should be interesting how that meshes with the Washington offense.
With that in mind, up front the starting three include ends Leo Jackson and Chris Mulumba, the latter of whom will miss Saturday’s first half following a targeting penalty, and Vea-esque JuCo transfer NT Javier Edwards who, at 6’3” and 350 lbs could successfully bull rush a Polar Bear.
