Thursday Dots: Huskies Under the Eaves

Film Study: USC Trojans
The Washington Huskies headed down to the Coliseum to face off #18 USC Trojans in their first away game of the year. The running game finally was able to get going, but the passing attack still lagged behind. The defense did their part, holding USC far below their season average of nearly 40 points per […]
UWDP Mailbag: Call For Questions
Washington will enter the weekend looking to snap a two-game skid and stay above .5oo in the process. Saturday’s bout against Iowa will feature UW’s second straight ranked foe, but it will come in much cooler conditions than the heat wave that scorched Southern California last weekend. No need for word salad, you know the […]
Opponent Offense Preview: Iowa Hawkeyes
Despite being more committed to the pass this year, this is basically the same Iowa team we’ve seen for years. They have their moments, but the pass game is not explosive and when the run game isn’t moving the ball, they aren’t scoring either. Their starting QB is also questionable for this game. On the […]

Big Ten Rankings and Projections After Week 5
There was one ranked-vs-ranked matchup in the Big Ten last weekend, and the other ranked teams that played were able to win their games. We now have a few surprises at the top of the Big Ten standings, including UCLA and Northwestern. And there are a few surprises at the bottom of the standings including […]

Can you believe we’re halfway through the season? To the Dots. Dots
Grading the Game: USC
Washington had a chance to get its season back on track Saturday night and they let it slip away. The Huskies led USC 21-10 in the third quarter, then gave up the final 15 points and lost 25-21. This was a USC team being booed by its own fans, with a defense that has been […]
What We Learned: USC Trojans
It was a frustrating loss for the Huskies in the Coliseum on Saturday night, as they fell to USC, 25-21. Let’s get to what we learned! A Step Forward… Let’s start with the good, I am, by nature, an optimist after all. After a game in which he was held to 23 yards on 7 […]
Monday Dots: Strong Individual Performances, but No Top Prize in L.A.
Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. Last week against Minnesota it was a case of too little, too late. In L.A. on Saturday the storyline was reversed, but the ending was the same. Up 21-10 after a rare 3rd quarter TD, UW was again felled by an accumulation of familiar, self-inflicted mistakes […]
Recruiting Roundup: Husky Commit Gets All-American Bowl Invite
Happy Sunday Husky fans. After another tough outing for our Huskies the team will return home this weekend looking to rebound against a tough Iowa team. There will likely be handful of visitors on campus but with the game being Friday I would bet the recruits in attendance will be a little light. 4 star […]
Missed Opportunities Doom the Huskies as they fall to USC 25-21
Coming in against a USC team that was probably emotionally drained off a loss against Oregon, this seemed like a prime opportunity for the Huskies to score an upset, and for a while, it looked like they just might. But as we’ve seen, self inflicted wounds sucked most of the air out of the Huskies, […]

Washington Huskies @ USC Trojans – Game Thread and How to Watch
If you came away from the listless, ineffective loss to Minnesota checked out on Jedd Fisch, Demond Williams, and the whole 2026 Husky team, I couldn’t blame you. But what if I told you they had a chance to immediately exit the doldrums they have been stuck in for the first four weeks of the […]
Week 5 Open Thread
Here is your thread for all non-UW CFB discussion for the week. But first, some highlights of what to watch all weekend. Friday Evening – It’s not the deepest slate of Friday games, but Penn St trying to rebound from their loss to Wisconsin by traveling to a resurgent Northwestern for the opening of Ryan […]
Opponent Defensive Preview: USC Trojans
The Huskies hit the road for the first time this season to face the USC Trojans at the Coliseum. Washington (3-1) and USC (4-1) are both coming off of tough losses that have left their respective fan bases recalibrating expectations for their seasons. UW is desperately looking for answers on offense after yet another concerningly […]
Film Study: Minnesota Golden Gophers
In what was arguably the most frustrating and disappointing home loss since that one 2021 game to not be named, the Washington Huskies drop their B1G Conference opener to the Minnesota Golden Gophers 24-27. An early interception that put the defense in the red zone set the precedent for how the game would go. The […]
Opponent Q&A: USC Trojans
This week, I am joined by LA Times Staff Writer Ryan Kartje to discuss USC ahead of the Huskies’ jolt with the men of Troy in the Coliseum. Let’s get to the questions! Mark Schafer: Lincoln Riley is now in year 5, and it’s clear that he hasn’t delivered the results he or the fanbase […]
Opponent Offense Preview: USC Trojans
Both teams come into this one licking their wounds. USC let their chance to have a statement victory slip away, falling 41-27 to Oregon at the Coliseum, while Washington couldn’t get its offense going to dig out of an early hole against Minnesota. Now the Huskies head south to face a USC offense that has […]

Washington’s 2026 Season Is Built on Poor Decisions
What makes Washington’s mediocre start to the 2026 campaign so frustrating is the core issue: poor decision-making. But that was bound to be the story of the season, wasn’t it? Between quarterback Demond Williams’ offseason drama and head coach Jedd Fisch’s overall approach, the Huskies were doomed from the beginning. Days removed from Washington’s loss […]

Grading the Game: Minnesota
Washington opened Big Ten play as a double-digit home favorite against a Minnesota team picked to finish 10th in the conference and had lost by 25 at home to Mississippi State two weeks ago (turns out Mississippi State is actually pretty good, but still). Things went off track almost immediately, and the Gophers jumped out […]
What We Learned: Minnesota Golden Gophers
The Huskies, as double digit favorites, lost to Minnesota 27-24 in a frustrating effort. Let’s get to what we learned! Deer In Headlights I said in my prediction that this game would go a long way in determining whether this team is any good. It turns out they may not be. Part of that, of […]
Monday Dots: Huskies Help Gophers Dig Hole Too Big to Climb Out Of
Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. Let’s review: They say: “A team improves the most between the 1st and 2nd week.” Huskies (Pass/Fail): FAIL They also say: “You learn more about yourself in a loss than a win.” Huskies (Pass/Fail): TBD Perhaps the fact that UW’s myriad liabilities hadn’t yet resulted in […]
