Washington has talent but not USC / Oregon talent.
Washington will have to face practiced remedies that were not available last week.
OL will give up fewer free runs at the QB from practice as a unit.
Bentley gets 90% of practice reps.
Adjustments to better get WRs and TEs involved. Practice with slants and TEs moving into space left by blitz.
RBs understanding blitz pickup is required to be on the field in longer sets.
Matchups with Utah DBs have less gap and DBs reduce the space in front of them.
Covey may be a go.
The Utah D gained confidence.
These are reasons for improvement in week 2. I am having a hard time thinking about factors that are reasons for week 2 to be worse than week 1, so I expect a net improvement. I even think we would play USC better if we played them again this week. Oh, Washington began Utah prep expecting ASU to cancel, as soon as WSU canceled so they do have a day and a half more prep. I expect a much tighter game and view it as a toss up. A big play, turnover, or momentum run can change that but it is just as likely for either team.
