EXPERT: Matt Fargo
TITLE: 92.9% Pac Ten GOM
REASON FOR PICK: Pac Ten Game of the Month What started out as a promising season for Washington has turned into a nightmare yet again. After starting the year 2-0, the Huskies have lost five straight games and only one of those was close, a tight three-point loss to USC. That was a game it could have won and it obviously has left a lasting impression as the two games since then have been complete disasters. Since outgaining Syracuse by 237 yards in the first game of the year, Washington has been outgained in every game since and by an average of 187.2 ypg.
It hasn’t exactly been a good year for Arizona either but at least it has been competitive. Three of the six losses have been by a touchdown or less and it has won the yardage battle in half of its eight games. The offense has been up and down but it now gets to face one of the worst defenses it has seen. Washington’s defense has gotten shredded during the five-game losing streak, allowing at least 460 yards in every game and slipping to last in the Pac Ten in total defense.
Arizona has improved greatly on offense from a season ago. Its 25.4 ppg dwarf the team's 12.1 ppg at this point last season. The Wildcats have scored 13 more touchdowns than they did at this point last year and are logging about 127 more total yards per game. On the other side, Washington quarterback Jake Locker posted a career-high 257 passing yards in last week's loss to Oregon, but was intercepted four times. Of the conference's regular quarterbacks, Locker is last in completions, passing efficiency and passing yards.
Arizona running back Nick Grigsby will continue making his case for the Freshman All-Pac-10 team, now facing a unit that’s next to last nationally in run defense. The Huskies are struggling mightily against the run, allowing more than 300 ypg over their past five games including 465 last week against Oregon. An amazing eight different backs have rushed for more than 100 yards during that span against Washington. Grigsby rushed for 126 yards last week against Stanford.
The Wildcats are coming off a bad loss to Stanford where they were favored by close to two touchdowns and that sets up a great situation for Arizona. Play on road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points in conference games coming off a upset loss as a double digit home favorite. This situation is 26-2 ATS (92.9 percent) over the last 10 seasons including a 16-1 ATS mark (94.1 percent) over the last five years. Expect a big rebound for the Wildcats as their slim postseason hopes remain intact. Play Arizona Wildcats 2.5 Units
