Entering Arizona

Weird issues occur to the Huskies within the state of Arizona. That was actually the case the final time these groups met in Tempe, when No. 15 Washington entered with a 5-0 file and left with a surprising 13-7 loss to the 2-3 Sun Devils in 2017.

UW has a equally poor file within the Rose Bowl, and the Huskies had been unable to flip that development final week. So what’s going to Kalen DeBoer and Co. do to cease the bleeding? Arizona State’s file (1-4) doesn’t matter. The proven fact that it fired coach Herm Edwards final month doesn’t matter.

And that manufacturing has additional emboldened offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, in flip, to maximise his redshirt junior’s immense ability set.  

Penix could make each out there throw … however as a result of he can, does that imply he ought to? When it involves his strong-armed distributor, how does UW coach Kalen DeBoer distinguish between bravery and pointless threat?

“Honestly, it’s a really good question,” DeBoer stated Monday, three days after UW’s 40-32 loss to UCLA. “Because we sit right here and we put our stamp of approval on how he throws guys open, how he anticipates, and the way guys are barely out of their breaks and the ball’s out. On the one (interception towards UCLA), the defender’s actually spinning within the floor as the discharge is going on.

“Mike’s anticipating; that’s what he’s trying to do. That’s what’s made him so successful. He learns from it. It’s not been a common thing for him, as we’ve seen through five games, to turn the ball over.”
