Three things to keep an eye on when the Wildcats face the Huskies in Seattle (2:30 p.m., Pac-12 Networks).
Michael Lev Here are three things to watch in the Arizona Wildcats’ game against Washington in Seattle , plus a score prediction and some pertinent preview links:
1. ‘SOUND’ FUNDAMENTALSLooking for something – anything – to be encouraged about regarding the Arizona defense? Well, how about this: Jedd Fisch liked what he heard at practice this week. Yes, you read that right – heard. Allow Fisch to explain: “I like to hear defensive players on the practice field. I think that's your best indication of confidence and communication.

The Huskies have allowed 40-plus points in consecutive games for the first time since 2013. Fisch and his staff aren’t buying it – and it isn’t just coach-speak. Offensive coordinator Brennan Carroll said UW has “a bunch of defensive ends that all look like they're ready for the next level.” That group includes Bralen Trice , Jeremiah Martin and Zion Tupuola-Fetui .
3. IDEAL PREPWhen Arizona has the ball, we’ll be watching the matchup between the Huskies’ edge rushers and the Wildcats’ tackles. When Washington has the ball, the matchup to watch pits the Huskies’ receivers against the Wildcats’ secondary. Washington’s trio of wide receivers – Rome Odunze, Jalen McMillan and Ja’Lynn Polk – is on par with Arizona’s. That’s exactly what UA cornerback Treydan Stukes is banking on heading into the game.
