SPORTS Thursday, November 9, 2017 East Oregonian Page 3B BRIEFLY College Football Top defense in FBS belongs to Huskies By TIM BOOTH Associated Press SEATTLE, Wash. — Pete Kwiatkowski is quiet and unassuming. He enjoys remaining in the back- ground, his role being that of a teacher and planner as the defensive coordinator for No. 9 Washington. His players, though, view him a little bit differently as the one largely responsible for Washington fi elding the best defense in the country. “I think he’s kind of a little bit of an evil genius,” linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven said. “He spends so much time in the fi lm room seeing what they’re doing and every week he comes out with some new scheme we haven’t seen, some little tweak we’re going to do that gives us an edge you’re not going to get from another coach.” When Washington takes the fi eld Friday night at Stanford, it will do so with the best defense in the country in terms of yards allowed per game. Better than Alabama. Better than Georgia. Better than Wisconsin. The Huskies are allowing 240.9 yards per game and 11.1 points. At this pace, this group of Huskies may end up being better statistically than the 1991 team that shared the national championship and is regarded as the best defense in school history — and one of the best in Pac-12 history. That’s heady company, although this defense’s biggest tests — Stanford, Washington State in the Apple Cup and a potential Pac-12 title game — are still looming. “We’re a big believer in, football’s not that compli- cated. There’s a lot of nuance and detail that goes into what we do, but at the end of the day it’s about striking blocks, getting off blocks, tackling, covering,” Kwiatkowski said. “We try to keep it that simple with our guys so they can play fast. And then the carry over schematically — we have some change-ups here and there so offenses can’t dial us up. But at the end of the day, it’s fundamental football.” What makes Washing- ton’s defensive success remarkable is what the team has lost over the years. After Kwiatkowski’s fi rst season, the Huskies saw four defensive players taken in the fi rst 44 picks of the NFL draft. And they were better the following season. In four seasons, Kwiat- kowski has built a defense that is stingy, aggressive and refuses to give up big plays. Granted, it’s helped that Washington has not faced the most dynamic offenses this year. Of their nine opponents to date, only UCLA ranks in the Top 40 nationally and the Bruins are the only team to top 20 points against Wash- ington, although that came with the help of a defensive score. While the Huskies top the country in total defense, they are also second in scoring defense, third in pass defense and sixth at stopping the run. They’ve allowed just eight offensive touchdowns in nine games and have yet to allow an offensive play of longer than 36 yards. “If you’re going to have a good team, to me it’s always going to start out on defense,” head coach Chris Petersen said. “We’ve had good defenses for a long, long time.” SCOREBOARD Local slate PREP FOOTBALL Friday No. 6 South Albany at No. 3 Hermiston (5A quarterfi nals), 7 p.m. Saturday No. 8 Heppner at No. 1 St. Paul (2A quar- terfi nals, at Newberg High School), 1 p.m. PREP BOYS SOCCER Saturday No. 1 Riverside vs. No. 3 Catlin Gabel (OSAA 3A/2A/1A Championship at Liberty HS, Hillsboro), 3:30 p.m. COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL Friday Eastern Oregon vs. College of Idaho (CCC Tournament at Corban University), 4 p.m. COLLEGE FOOTBALL Saturday Carroll at Eastern Oregon, Noon COLLEGE MEN’S WRESTLING Thursday Eastern Oregon at Oregon State, TBD COLLEGE WOMEN’S WRESTLING Sunday Eastern Oregon at Pacifi c, TBD NCAA AP Top 25 Week 11 Schedule Friday No. 9 Washington at Stanford, 7:30 p.m. (FS1) Saturday No. 1 Alabama at No. 18 Mississippi State, 4 p.m. (ESPN) No. 2 Georgia at No. 10 Auburn, 12:30 p.m. (CBS) No. 3 Notre Dame at No. 7 Miami, 5 p.m. (ABC) No. 4 Clemson vs. Florida State, 12;30 p.m. (ESPN) No. 5 Oklahoma vs. No. 8 TCU, 5 p.m. (FOX) No. 6 Wisconsin vs. No. 25 Iowa, 12:30 p.m. (ABC) No. 11 Ohio State vs. No. 13 Michigan State, 9 a.m. (FOX) No. 12 Oklahoma State at No. 24 Iowa State, 9 a.m. (ABC) No. 14 UCF vs. UConn, 9 a.m. (ESPNU) No. 15 USC at Colorado, 1 p.m. (FOX) No. 16 Penn State vs. Rutgers, 9 a.m. No. 17 Virginia Tech at Georgia Tech, 9 a.m. No. 19 Washington State at Utah, 2:30 p.m. (PAC12) No. 21 Michigan at Maryland, 12:30 p.m. No. 23 West Virginia at Kansas State, 12:30 p.m. (ESPN2) Pac-12 Schedule Friday Washington at Stanford, 7:30 p.m. (FS1) Saturday Oregon State at Arizona, 7 p.m. (ESPN2) USC at Colorado, 1 p.m. (FOX) Washington State at Utah, 2:30 p.m. (PAC12) Arizona State at UCLA, 6:30 p.m. (PAC12) Football NFL Week 10 Thursday’s Game Seattle at Arizona, 5:25 p.m. Sunday’s Games Pittsburgh at Indianapolis, 10 a.m. Minnesota at Washington, 10 a.m. L.A.
