<h2>
Minshew Powering Cougars<br />
</h2>
<p>
A big reason for the Cougars terrific season has been the play of quarterback Gardner Minshew. Minshew leads all of college football with 3,852 passing yards this season. Minshew will likely be a Heisman Trophy candidate this season if he continues at this torrid pace. The Cougars are averaging over 392 passing yards per game this season, which leads the NCAA. Minshew has thrown 29 touchdowns already this season and will be looking for more against a mediocre Arizona defense.
</p>
<p>
Washington State is still looking from consistency from their defense in order to make them an elite team. The Cougars are giving up 22.1 points per game, but have performed well in their last two victories. Washington State gave up just seven points to Colorado last week, after allowing only 13 points to California a week ago. The Cougars will face an average Arizona offense in this game and should be able to put up a low number.
</p>
<h2>
Wildcats Feature Balanced Attack<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Arizona Wildcats are averaging 30.8 points per game this season, which is right in the middle of the pack in college football. Arizona does feature a balanced offensive attack that could give the Cougars trouble in this game. Quarterback Khalil Tate has thrown for close to 2,000 yards this season and 19 touchdowns to just six interceptions. Running back J.J. Taylor is averaging 5.9 yards per carry and has found the end zone six times so far this season.
</p>
<p>
The Wildcats defense will be questioned in a big way in this contest. Arizona is giving up over 28 points per game which is in the bottom half of the NCAA. The Wildcats have struggled against the pass this season, giving up over 248 yards per game, which could spell disaster in this one.
