Utah is awful on the road when they aren't playing a divisional opponent they see every year. That shouldn't even be a close game.
SC has internal problems and clear weaknesses that won't be fixed in 2 weeks. It might be the only somewhat acceptable loss because of the talent, but UW is clearly better w more to play for.
As good as Beavlet is at home, they have to play Oregon the next week and that is the only contender they can catch/knockout if UW is undefeated. No excuses.
WSU: everyone is just wearing their OL/DL down, no excuses.
This shouldn't be some gauntlet month and if it is then DeBoer probably needs to leave half his staff in Seattle when he boards the private jet to Ann Arbor.
