Locker rushed for almost 600 yards last season, not counting yards lost on sacks. He can be almost as dangerous with his feet as he is with his arm, so SU has to limit his opportunities. Make him a one-dimensional player, and you have a chance to limit his damage.
2. Slow dow Jermaine Kearse
The junior piled up 866 yards last year and 108 yards in the season opener at BYU. Devin Aguilar can make defenses pay as well, but he's nowhere near as dynamic and dangerous as Kearse. If SU can contain Locker's number-one option, the odds of winning go up dramatically.
3. Get another career day out of Nassib
It's pretty unlikely SU will hold Washington to three points, like it did with Akron last week. Nassib will need to make up the difference with another big game against a much tougher foe. He showed he had the tools in the opener; now he needs to put it all together on a bigger stage.
4. Score first to set the tone
It would be an upset if the Orange pull off a win in Seattle. Usually, the underdog needs to jump out to an early lead or make a big play to steal the momentum early from the home crowd. Score a quick TD, and the doubt might sink in on the other sideline. Remember, Washington is not used to winning (they were 5-7 last year), and may not respond well to trailing for the second-straight week.
