Washington Huskies vs. Arizona Wildcats Key Players to Watch

Washington Huskies

Honestly, this doesn’t change much week to week for the Huskies. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will always be the primary key player for Washington as he continues his Heisman Trophy campaign as the nation’s leading passer. He leads in pass yards and touchdowns despite never playing a full game this season because—simply—he doesn’t need to.

Arizona Wildcats

Defenses haven’t been able to do much to stop the Huskies’ offense but linebacker Jacob Manu will be one to watch. So far this season, Manu has 38 total tackles, which leads the Pac-12 and is tied for 22nd in the nation, as well as three sacks.

Huskies vs. Wildcats Prediction and Pick

It’s difficult to imagine any scenario where the Huskies will be thrown off their game anytime soon. They have just been unstoppable and Arizona isn’t going to be the one to do that unless they can pull off a miracle.

I pick the Huskies favored at -18.5 and am going with the under (67.5). My final score prediction for the game is 59-23.
