2. Easop Winston Jr. shines

If you don’t already know the name of Easop Winston Jr. you might want to get familiar with it before Friday. Winston Jr. has now had 80 or more receiving yards in the last three games and gone over 100 in two of those games. The senior receiver out of San Fransisco, California has been Gordon’s favorite target for the Cougs and rightfully so.

The strength for the Huskies all year has been their front seven only allowing 139 rushing yards a game. That means that the air raid will be in full effect and there will be catches to be made out there in Seattle.

Easop Winston will surely be the go-to guy on for Gordon and looked upon to be a big-play receiver downfield. This game is going to no doubt be a game that could come down to a shootout barring the weather being terrible. Expect a lot of Winston Jr. for the Cougs and for him to possibly be the difference in the game.
