By Mark Knight
After Week 8 in College Football.
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.

The defensive stats for Washington have dropped dramatically after playing Stanford. They dropped from 14th in the nation in stopping the run to 57th. They also went from 78th in the country in points allowed per game to a lowly 104th.
Keith Price also had a chance to take the lead in passing touchdowns since Robert Griffin III was on his bye week but only was able to equal Griffin’s total. Price is now tied for 4th in Passing Touchdowns.
