Pac 12 Power Rankings Week 3: Can Stanford run the table?

Washington Huskies remain undefeated regardless of light non-conference schedule

One cannot be overly impressed with the fact that the Washington Huskies (3-0) remain undefeated. After all, they took down teams such as Rutgers, Idaho, and Portland State. However, they did win all three in impressive fashion outscoring their opponents 148-30.

Washington basically put the game out of reach for Portland State Vikings (1-2) by halftime as the Huskies lead 28-0. The Huskies scored 14 points in each quarter. They added another 13 points in the second half, and the Vikings could only muster three the whole game (41-3).

This offense revolves around sophomore quarterback Jake Browning. He picked apart the Vikings defense by throwing three touchdown passes in the first 16 minutes. He connected with Chico McClatcher twice while Darrell Daniels and Myles Gaskin caught one each.

Browning finished 12 of 19 for 163 yards. However, his low yardage totals were more correlated with Portland State turning the ball over close to their own territory giving Browning a short field to work with.

Jake Browning, who has 744 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and one interception while completing 72 percent of his throws.

As for the running game, Gaskin rushed for 93 yards on 13 carries and scored two touchdowns. While McClatcher caught four passes for 69-yards and two scores.

The Huskies are on the road for the first time next week at Arizona; then, a two-week stretch with Stanford and Oregon.

*UW has scored at least 40 points in the past six games.
