There’s two different predictions here depending on which offense JohnDon and Jimmy Lake decide to use: The Stupid Offense prediction and the Unstupid Offense prediction.
If Lake and Donovan trot out of the tunnel Saturday and decide to go with the Stupid Offense: Washington will not win.
On the flip side, Washington has a really, really positive outlook if they start the Unstupid Offense from the beginning. Cal’s defense is obviously waaaay better than Arkansas State, but three games into the season and they’re noticeably weaker than the Cal defense we’ve become accustomed to under Justin Wilcox.
