By Mark Knight
After Week 9 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.

UW improved their run defense dramatically playing Arizona. They went up 10 spots and only gave up a minor amount of rushing yards against Arizona.
However, they are now one of the lowest in pass defense in the country. They have allowed five 300+ passers this season, ironically, they are 5-0 when they allow this to happen.
Case Keenum threw 9 touchdowns last week and clearly takes the top spot in passing touchdowns. Keith Price is keeping pace with Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck.
