SEATTLE -- Here are five storylines facing Washington as the Huskies work through their bye week:
1. Preparing for potent part of the schedule: The Huskies certainly faced a daunting challenge traveling to LSU in Week 2. But at least Washington was favored in games before and after its matchup with the Tigers. Over the next four weeks, the Huskies face ranked opponents in No. 9 Stanford, No. 3 Oregon, No. 13 USC and No. 22 Arizona.
2. Implementing game plan for Stanford: With its matchup against the Cardinal looming on Sept. 27, Washington doesn’t get the luxury of a true bye week. The Huskies will begin game-week preparations Saturday for a nationally televised contest Thursday night.
