Watching the game last night it was clear that the Washington offense and defense, as they are currently operating, can kill poor and mediocre teams.  They have relied on their opponent rolling over for them after the first hard punch.  When their opponent can get up off the mat and punch back, as we did last night and ASU before, they have been at a loss as to knowing what to do.

Since Washington did not score until the fourth quarter against ASU, I'm not sure the Huskies threw any early hard punches in that one. Maybe on defense.

Assuming that's true, however, since Wazzu is presumably capable of doing that, you wonder about their game. Also Wazzu has just showed that they can play fairly well on the road. I would call the Husky/Coug game pretty much a tossup, giving Washington the slight edge because the game is in Seattle.

That game is not a tossup. Both of those teams, like us, are significantly better at home. WSU might look somewhat impressive, but they needed seven turnovers to squeak past Utah on the road. I expect UW's defense to literally murder Falk.
