3 KEYS TO THE GAME
Don’t get ‘Nic’ked up
The Huskies’ run defense has its work cut out for it today. Arizona’s Nic Grigsby is one of the Pac-10’s top backs when healthy. He’s coming off a shoulder injury, so Grigsby might not be 100 percent. If he is, look out..
The Copperfield defense
UW has done it with smoke and mirrors on defense this year, relying on turnovers and a stringent red-zone personality to keep the offense in games. Tonight will have to be another one of those “cling on and hope” performances from the Huskies D.
Slay the two-headed dragon
Arizona is one of those rare teams tha t favors a two-quarterback attack. In Michigan State transfer Nick Foles, the Wildcats have a solid passer. In Matt Scott, they have a runner. The Huskies have to be aware who is on the field, and how to defend him.
