National Stat Rankings: Focus on UW
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.
UW had a bye week this last week and most of the nation did not. However, Washington is still very much in the mix for national stat rankings.

Remember, these stats are conducive of a bye week so naturally in good categories (Rushing Yards, Receiving TDs, etc.) UW dropped in rank and in bad categories (Points allowed per game, Rushing yards allowed, etc.) Washington improved.
