The UCLA defensive front was also in stuff mode against Colorado’s rushing attack. The Buffaloes were held to 1.5 yards per carry and 51 total yards.
The Huskies also sacked Cardinal QB Tanner McKee eight times. That pass rush could end up proving vital in containing the elusive Thompson-Robinson.
Washington has already equaled last season’s win total. The Huskies will add another W this week.
Pick: Washington Huskies -3 (-110).
