By Mark Knight
The University of Washington Football team by the stats in comparison with the rest of the FBS. Some of these stats are individual stats and some are team stats. Be careful to look at the “National Rank” column, as some categories do not include every player/team but instead will skip down to the closest UW stat.

Washington has only allowed 17 points in the last 4 quarters. This has helped them shoot from 104th in the country in this category to 87th in the country. Still not amazing but a vast improvement.
The passing coverage vs. the run coverage is staggering, and the game against Utah made it blatantly obvious. The Huskies held Utah to 17 rushing yards total. However, gave up over 300 in the air.
UW is second to last in the country in ‘passing yards allowed’ at 1615. North Texas is the only team behind, giving up 1663.
