2. Dylan Morris has three touchdown passes

Dylan Morris has not had a good season, I don’t think there’s any debating that.

The freshman quarterback has kind of been thrown into the fire early on in his career, but Jimmy Lake felt good about his young gunslinger before the season. Unfortunately, he’s been a turnover machine halfway through the year. In fact, he has eight touchdowns with eight interceptions through six games.

Morris actually has three games with at least two interceptions this season and he only has two contests in which he has been pick-free. I think Friday night will be his third.

On top of that, Morris is going to have one of his best games of the year, throwing three touchdown passes and accounting for over 250 passing yards. He had a solid three-game stretch to end the month of September, but his October has been slightly rough. He’ll have his best game of the month and really get the tides turned in the opposite direction for himself.

Washington will need him to step up and he’ll do just that against a poor Arizona defense.
