Washington vs. Rutgers Prediction
This is the first time these teams have played each other since 2017 when Washington won 30-14. Both teams have looked good so far this year, and the Washington Huskies look to steal a win on the road in front of a packed crowd at SHI Stadium. I think this game will be close, but I believe this game will come down to the last drive, and Washington will get a road victory!
There are three major keys to the game for Washington. If they can accomplish these, they'll move to 2-0 in the conference against a tough opponent.
Washington vs. Rutgers - Keys to the Game
3rd Down Stops
- Rutgers converts third downs at a 52.8% rate. If Washington wants to win, they must stop the Scarlet Knights on third down.
Limit The Rutgers Run Game
- Rutgers averages 255 rushing yards per game, good for 13th in the nation. This Washington defense is going to have to limit the success that Rutgers finds on the ground and make them throw the ball.
Win the Aerial Battle
- Washington throws for 291 yards per game while Rutgers has allowed just 144 yards per game through the air this season. If Washington's defense plays well for 60 minutes, I think that Washington can win this football game, as long as they take care of the pigskin.
