Trenton Bourguet should more than hold his own against UCLA this weekend, Jon Wilner writes.
Jon Wilner For the second consecutive week, the most interesting game in the Pac-12 is slotted for a weeknight.
Both teams are on the outskirts of the conference race, partly because of their records and partly because they are winless in head-to-head matchups against the top teams and thus are poorly positioned with the tiebreakers. UW’s opponents to date have a combined record of 18-31; all of them are under .500; all of them are stuck on three wins. The Huskies are 6-2 and bowl-eligible and should make no apologies, but it’s a soft 6-2. Nothing about Oregon State is soft.
But a victory Friday night over an opponent churning toward an eight- or nine-win season would add a significant line to Smith’s resume.
