LT Profits: Washington +16.5
Washington is an attractive double-digit underdog here considering the performances of both of these offenses last week.
Huskies quarterback Isaiah Stanback keyed a 35-29 victory over San Jose State as he passed for 168 yards and a touchdown and ran for another 102 yards and another touchdown. Stanback was not a one-man show either as running back Louis Rankin ran for 148 yards on only 10 carries. That kind of balance on offense can give the normally stingy Oklahoma defense fits here.
Conversely the Sooners were hardly impressive while just getting by UAB 24-17. With the starting quarterback from last year Rhett Bomar dismissed from the team, former quarterback Paul Thompson made the transition from wide receiver, where he played last season, back to quarterback. The rust showed last week as Thompson had two key interceptions in the red zone to keep the Blazers in the game, and that inconsistency does not exude confidence in what is already a suspect offense laying this many points.
