Players to watch
Dezmen Roebuck has at least five catches in every game this season, and his 48 catches lead Washington. He’s the receiver the Huskies rely on to move the chains, and he even threw a 5-yard touchdown pass at USC on Oct. 3.
Nebraska allows 171.7 passing yards per game and 15.4 points per game, so Washington will need to gain its yards. The Huskies have allowed 22 sacks, which makes Roebuck’s rushing catches the best answer for a seven-interception defense. Check out his third-down targets.
Nebraska runs for 194.4 yards per game and Jacob Manu has 40 touchdowns, second on Washington’s defense behind Alex McLaughlin’s 48. He also shares the team sack lead with McLaughlin at 2.5.
Jamal Rule, Nebraska’s leading rusher with 391 yards, is back from an ankle injury he suffered at Oregon on Oct. 17, and quarterback Anthony Colandrea’s legs give Washington one more rusher for Manu to track down. Nebraska hasn’t lost a fumble this season, so Washington needs to win by interceptions, not touchdowns. Count his actions near the line.
Anthony Colandrea has 18 tackles, 14 passes and four hurries, but Nebraska has lost its last two games by three points each. He went 18 of 33 for 164 yards and a touchdown in the 17-14 loss at Oregon.
Washington has nine tackles, two of three players and 13 sacks, while Colandrea has been sacked 14 times. He ran for 108 yards against Maryland, so his legs are a real option against the pass rush. See if Nebraska designs runs for him in the red zone.
Seven of Nebraska’s 15 catches belong to Kwazi Gilmer, who leads the Cornhuskers with 492 receiving yards on 38 catches. That makes him Nebraska’s most reliable scoring option for an offense that has lost two straight three-pointers.
Washington allows 205 passing yards per game and Jacory Barney Jr. gives Nebraska a second option behind Gilmer. Gilmer caught a touchdown in the loss at Oregon, and his best game came against Maryland on Oct. 3, with 11 catches for 147 yards and two scores. His use in the red zone is the thing to track.
