On the one hand, Washington has taken a lot of team’s best punches, and mostly survived. I don’t know if they beat Wazzu in more clear conditions, but they were the better team last weekend.
On the other hand, Utah has a good, interesting, solid program and has become a real consistent player since moving to the PAC 12. But I don’t think Utah resonates nationally as a strong program (quite like NU, in fact).
In my all-too-brief analysis, I’ll say this:
I’m confident in this NU team, and I want the strongest possible opponent and a nationally-resonant victory. I’ll be cheering for Washington on Friday night.
