ESPNU radio guys discussing game say to watch for the following keys to game (did not predict winner just commentary):
- very close and even game - stating UW is actually the most complete team in the PAC12, so PSU got the toughest draw for BIG teams.
- ST play and field position - watch the yardage after exchanges = who is winning that game.
- moving the chains = who is doing the better job moving the chains consistently. team that is more inconsistent moving the ball forward will be in more trouble. game will not be won by a few big plays per their view even though both teams have a ton of big plays.
- who is winning the battle at the LOS on both sides. both teams have defenses that get negative plays = watch who is getting more of these on each side.
- stars MIA = who is controlling the stars from the other team. both teams loaded with stars so watch who are MIA. a little focus on Gesicki vs UW safeties/LBs as a key matchup.
- and the usual who is avoiding penalties an TO's which is true in every game.
