I know Jake gets a lot of the blame for the USC loss but he is not the main reason they lost that night.

1st by the time the Dawgs recovered and adjusted from the Victor injury USC had put 14 quick points on the board which was just enough for the victory.

Also the USC corners played Ross and Pettis very physically. With Chico out they were also able to send extra folks at Browning and not worry about the sweeps, screens and crossing routes. Most teams are so afraid that Ross and Pettis will run right by them they play way off allowing Jake to just pick them apart. USC manned up and hit them at line all night. That can be easily seen on Ross's long touchdown were Adoree' Jackson whiffed.

And finally you can't run the ball 8 times in the 2nd half and expect to beat anybody so I don't think the coaching staff had a real great game either.

These are all things that UW needs to fix tonight if they are to win. CU is made up very similar to USC but with less talent yet more experience.

Special teams is the one area where UW has a distinct advantage. Run the ball. Stop the run and kill them on special teams s/b UW's game plan tonight. 3rd down conversions will also be a key to watch especielly with a running, physical QB. UW is gonna need a huge day from Budda Baker and JoJo McIntosh. I'm hoping JoJo can do to the CU QB what he did to the Ducks RB!
