Arizona had success on the ground against the Huskies but abandoned it after digging a hole for themselves with self-inflicted wounds.

Quick little scatback JJ Taylor ran for 88 yards.

The Wildcats also had success with their big back off the bench.

Sophomore Nathan Phillips, 6-2, 207, chewed up 49 hard-driving yards on 6 carries, including a 29-yard run.

They should have gone to him more. Khalil Tate looked dazed and confused for much of the game.

On a cool, sopping wet day in Seattle, Cyrus Habbibi-Likio could ve a semi-secret weapon, driving straight ahead against a softer than typical Husky front. Jacob Eason and Salvon Ahmed can't make big plays from the bench.

If the game comes down to field goals, the Ducks could be in trouble. Remember Peyton Henry, the freshman kicker who went wide right at the end of regulation last year? He's 14-14 this season. Camden Lewis is 1-3.
