The Huskies had a home game against FCS Portland State on Saturday, and Chris Petersen’s crew had little trouble with the visiting Vikings. Washington had a 28-0 lead by halftime, and the starters were getting plenty of rest in the second half of a 41-3 blowout. Jake Browning attempted just 19 passes, throwing for 163 yards and four passing touchdowns in the rout. The Huskies defense allowed just 182 yards to Portland State and forced four turnovers on the day, preventing any threat of an upset.

A preseason favorite in the Pac-12 North, Washington has yet to play much in the way of viable competition. A trip to Tucson to take on Arizona next week could be a potential trap game, especially with a visit from Stanford on the horizon at the end of September. If the Huskies get through the month undefeated, their last tests on the way to a division title will come on road trips to Oregon and Utah.
