Washingtons relatively easy schedule to start the season is allowing coach Chris Petersen to tinker with his lineups and fine-tune both sides of the ball before beginning Pac-12 play.The Huskies rolled in their debut on Saturday, routing Rutgers 48-13 and improving from No. 14 to No. No. 8 in the AP poll. This is the highest Washington has been ranked since the first full week of November 2001.The teams second game this season shouldnt be much different than the first. Washington is favored by about five touchdowns in advance of Saturdays matchup against Idaho at Husky Stadium in Seattle at 5 p.m. ET.Idaho opened with a 20-17 home victory over Montana State of the Football Championship Subdivision. The Vandals will move down to the FCS level, starting in 2018.Overall, Washington used 71 players against Rutgers, including 16 making their college debuts. The Huskies were happy to see the return of wide receiver John Ross, who missed last season because of an ACL injury.The junior speedster caught five passes for 90 yards and two touchdowns, also returning a kickoff 92 yards for a score. Ross has 10 career touchdowns of 50 yards or longer. He adds quite a bit to the attack, said offensive coordinator Jonathan Smith.If we find him isolated at any time, you feel like youve got a winner there, Smith said. That adds a big dimension.Washington had the best defense in the Pac-12 last season (allowing 18.8 points per game) while the offense found its footing behind a pair of true freshmen -- quarterback Jake Browning and running back Myles Gaskin.The Huskies have averaged 47.25 points in their last four games -- Oregon State, Washington State, Southern Miss and Rutgers. But Washington ran for just 91 yards against the Scarlet Knights, averaging 3.0 per carry. Gaskins finished with 57 yards on 15 carries.Weve got some work to do there, Petersen said.Thats the style of our offense. If people are going to load up and bring those safeties downhill and try to stop the run, then hopefully we can throw the ball a little bit over their heads. Its a cat-and-mouse game. But I think we can run the ball better. I would hope so.Browning completed 18 of 27 passes for 287 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception. He connected with Ross on scoring throws of 38 and 50 yards in the first quarter as Washington took a 24-0 lead. Being more productive on deep passes was an offseason emphasis.Jake made some good throws on deep passes early, so we were pleased with that, Smith said.By the end of the third quarter, the Huskies were using mostly second- and third-stringers, giving them valuable experience for later in the season. Sophomore K.J. Carta-Samuels relieved Browning late in the third quarter, throwing a 4-yard touchdown pass on his first play.Junior receiver Dante Pettis, the son of former major-leaguer Gary Pettis, scored on a punt return against Rutgers. That was his fourth punt return score of his career.Idaho rushed for 225 yards in its opener, led by junior running back Aaron Duckworth, who 108 yards on 14 carries, scoring twice. Quarterback Matt Linehan ran for 41 yards, but he completed just 8 of 22 passes for 128 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception. Hell go against a secondary that features a pair of returning All-Pac-12 players -- safety Budda Baker and cornerback Sidney Jones.The Vandals held Montana State to 110 yards on the ground.Thats the best defense weve played since Ive been here, coach Paul Petrino said after the victory. Our defense really stepped up. Offensively, we rushed for 225 yards. We found two ways to win. Thats the most important thing.Washington has won 18 consecutive games against Idaho, dating to a tie in 1938.Washington wraps up its nonconference schedule against Portland State, an FCS program, on Sept. 17 -- another game that likely means more playing time for the reserves. The Huskies begin Pac-12 play at Arizona on Sept. 24. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Chuck-Bednarik-Jersey/ .

MANCHESTER, England -- Jose Mourinho resumes his rivalry with Arsene Wenger on Saturday on the back of a simple message: Give me some respect.The biggest subplot to the high-profile Premier League match between Manchester United and Arsenal on Saturday at Old Trafford is the renewal of the often-spiky coaching relationship between Mourinho and Wenger.The managers have clashed repeatedly over the years, either on the touchline -- Wenger once shoved Mourinho in the chest following an argument in the technical area -- or via verbal barbs in news conferences.Mourinho is rarely short of an opinion when it comes to Wenger, having previously called the Frenchman a voyeur because of his regular comments about Mourinhos former club, Chelsea, and a specialist in failure during Arsenals nine years without winning trophy (2005-14).On Friday, Mourinho wondered out loud why, in his opinion, Wenger gets more credit for his achievements.Tomorrow is a match between the two managers with the best record in the Premier League, now Alex Ferguson isnt here anymore, Mourinho said, referring to his and Wengers record of winning three league titles each.Does that mean we should be respected, even in periods where our results are not the best? I think Mr. Wenger has that respect, I dont think I have. Especially because my last Premier League title was 18 months ago, not 18 years ago. I dont think I get that respect.Mourinhos most recent league title came in 2015, at the end of the second season of his second stint at Chelsea. Wenger hasnt won the league with Arsenal since 2004.Yet, Mourinho feels he is targeted for criticism more than Wenger. United has struggled this season in Mourinhos first year in charge and goes into Saturdays game in sixth place, six points behind Arsenal and eight points behind first-place Liverpool after 11 games.Some bbelieve Mourinho is already losing his grip at United after a number of public outbursts toward his players and what some pundits believe to be his outdated playing style compared to some of the younger Premier League managers.ddddddddddddourinho said his track record of winning league titles at every top club he has managed -- FC Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan -- demands that he gets more time. And, that word again, respect.When I was sacked at Chelsea, I was not in trouble. I had lots of offers, Mourinho said. I could be working in some of the biggest cubs in Europe and I waited for the chance to work at a club where I wanted to be.The arrival of Mourinho in English football in 2004 is one of the major reasons why Arsenal declined as a major force, damaging Wengers reputation in the process. Fueled by Roman Abramovichs heavy spending, Chelsea became the best team in England the season after Arsenal won the championship by going through the 2003-04 campaign unbeaten.That might be the reason why Wenger has had issues with Mourinho. In 13 competitive meetings with sides managed by Mourinho, Wengers Arsenal has never triumphed, drawing six times and losing seven times.Thats not important, Mourinho said. I dont play against managers. Its my team that plays against another managers team. Some records are better than others. But in the end, a football match is an isolated event.Wengers only success over Mourinho came in the 2015 Community Shield.You know, we didnt lose always, Wenger said. We have beaten them and there was many draws as well. I think I have won against every manager in the world during my 20 years here and I do not make of this game a competition between two managers.
