I don’t care who you are or who you play, it’s never easy to go on the road and blow a team out.

The Huskies did just that Saturday, after their commanding 70-21 win at Oregon.

Washington tends to be a team that is flying under the radar, if that’s even possible after a 70-21 win. Most of the talk has been about Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, and Clemson, but this Washington team is the real deal.

Their quarterback Jake Browning has been fantastic, throwing for over 1,400 yards and 23 touchdowns through six games. On Saturday he completed 22 of his 28 attempts with 306 yards and six touchdowns.

Can it honestly get any better than that? I mean the kid had the same amount of incompletions (6) as touchdowns.

The key for Browning this year has been his lack of turnovers. Like mentioned above, he has 23 passing touchdowns but only two interceptions on the season. 23 passing touchdowns is impressive, but I’m sure head coach Chris Petersen is more impressed with just two interceptions.

Their schedule is wide-open for the Huskies now, and destiny is in their hands. If Browning continues to take care of the football, this team is capable of making a run for the College Football Playoff.

Yes, this team is flying under the radar now, but Washington can make some noise in the second half of the season.
