The View From the Press Box: Washington vs. Arizona

The first night game at Husky Stadium this year but not the last as next week the Huskies take on Oregon, also a 7:30pm kickoff.

The Huskies prepare to take the field for their “blackout” game as the fans will be wearing primarily black colors and the endzones are painted black.

The Huskies will prepare to take on the Wildcats after Arizona blew out UCLA 48-12. Arizona is looking fired up and ready to compete (finally), in the Pac-12. They had a lost 5 straight before taking on UCLA. Their Coach Mike Stoops was fired and that momentum carried them to an impressive victory over UCLA.

Quick Stats:

• Arizona averages 30.3 points a game.
• Washington sits at 34.7.
• Arizona has 2,612 yards through the air and Washington has allowed 1,991 yards through the passing game.
