2. Jake Browning has a number of weapons to work with

Junior quarterback Jake Browning is one of the best in the PAC-12 at his position. This is a conference loaded with quarterback talent too. What contributes to all of Browning’s success largely comes from the weapons surrounding him.

Senior wide receiver Dante Pettis is getting close to 500 receiving yards and also has six touchdown catches on the season. That along with the three punt return touchdowns that Pettis has in 2017 and you get one of the most dynamic players in the nation.

The backfield combination of Myles Gaskin and Lavon Coleman gives the Huskies quite a duo. Washington’s ground game is what really opens up the field for Browning to distribute the ball through the air.

Last year, Browning had John Ross to throw to and the rest of the offense was not as experienced. Now, Pettis and a deep stable of running backs knows what to do to get back to the top of the college football world.
