UW Offense Finds Groove in 48-16 Rout of EWU
Washington advanced to 3-0 on the year by thumping in-state foe Eastern Washington to a tune of 48-16. The victory completes a turbulent, but successful, non-conference slate. There was an uneasiness sweeping over Husky Nation as the weekend approached. Fear of defeat wasn’t particularly a factor, but more so, how the victory would look. Another […]
Mailbag: ‘What would DeBoer Do?’ Edition
Washington needs to find a rhythm on offense and has just one game left until Big Ten play begins. So time is of the essence. Saturday’s clash with Eastern Washington will reveal whether the Husky offense has a pulse. In last week’s mailbag, we examined whether it was too early to hit the panic button. […]
Washington Huskies vs. Eastern Washington Eagles – Game Thread and How to Watch
The Huskies were suppose to be entering Week 3 with a couple of big wins under their belt and valuable experience to take into the Big 10 schedule. Instead, it feels like the Dawgs are almost starting over, at least offensively, with two dismal performances. At the same time, the team is 2-0 thanks to […]
Week 3 Open Thread
Here is the place for discussion on all college football through the weekend that is not UW vs. Eastern Washington. But first, a rundown of some of the bigger games. Friday Night: Three ranked teams play on Friday night and two of the games look pretty compelling. Miami faces their first ACC road test against […]
Friday Dots: Reinforcements
Good Friday morning everyone! We’ve got plenty of news for your Friday ahead of a “get right game” against EWU! Let’s get to it! Football Dots Basketball Dot That’s all for today, so thank you for making Dots a part of your morning, and as always, Go Dawgs!
Opponent Defensive Preview: Eastern Washington Eagles
Wrapping up our non-conference schedule, the Huskies host the Eastern Washington Eagles on Montlake this weekend. Despite having a couple of memorable games over the years, this is just the fourth match up between these two in-state programs. The Eagles, a periodic contender at the FCS level, have played the Huskies close in the first […]
Opponent Q&A: Eastern Washington Eagles
It’s Week 3, and that means the Huskies will once again play host as they welcome the Eastern Washington Eagles to Husky Stadium. For this week’s Q&A, I’m joined by the Spokesman-Review’s Dan Thompson to get the lowdown on the Eagles. Let’s get to it! Mark Schafer: It is year 10 for Aaron Best as […]
Thursday Dots: Filling the Gaps
‘Cause it’s time, it’s time in time with your time and it’s news is captured for the Dots to use
Film Study: Utah State
It wasn’t pretty but the Washington Huskies move to 2-0 on the season following a 16-14 victory over the Utah State Aggies at Husky Stadium. Much of the offensive woes from Apple Cup carried over to Game 2 as they struggled against the new Pac-12 member. The running game had difficulty gaining yards as the […]
Opponent Offense Preview: Eastern Washington Eagles
Washington hosts Eastern Washington in Week 3, for its third and final non-conference tune-up before Big Ten play begins. A year ago, this offense averaged 23.4 points per game, fourth-fewest in the Big Sky, which is why head coach Aaron Best publicly prioritized fixing the run game and generating more explosive plays this fall. Has […]
Call For Questions: ‘Points Please!’ Edition
For a second straight weekend, Washington walked off the field victorious. The bigger story, of course, was the little offensive success against two woeful foes. Washington State was blasted by Kansas State to a tune of 34-7 after a close contest with the Huskies in Week 1. Meanwhile, Washington beat Utah State 16-14. One week […]
Recapping the 2026 Spokane Alumni Event, Part 2
A couple of weeks ago, I went to the Spokane Husky alumni event at the Spokane Club, where I got to hear both Damon Huard and Elise Woodward speak about the upcoming Husky football season. Huard’s interview was published on September 9th, and before Big Ten play opens, let’s hear what Elise had to say! […]
Wednesday Dots: Blackout
Easy isn’t always simple. Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Season 2, Episode 11 Coach Fisch has said that he is confident that the problems with the offensive line and the run game are ‘correctable’. That doesn’t mean that it happen quickly, but let’s hope that it does happen. Football Dots UW Athletics Dots
Tuesday Dots: Offensive Overload
Not sure there’s a 2-0 start to a season that’s felt like this since I’ve been a fan. They’ve got one more week to figure things out before B1G play, and weather the substantial injuries they have already faced. Dots has you covered on that and more. To the Dots! Dots
Big Ten Rankings and Projections After Week 2
There were several surprising results around the Big Ten last weekend-and not just UW’s ‘much closer than expected’ win over Utah State. In some cases we see that what we saw in week one carried over to week 2; that includes Rutgers not looking good, Oregon not looking like a CFP contender, Washington continuing to […]
Grading the Game: Utah State Aggies
Passing Offense: 5.5/10 Quarterbacks: 5/10 Pass Protection: 6/10 Receivers: 5.5/10 We start with the pass game. While the numbers were there, Demond struggled to execute on pass plays, though I guess that can be chalked up to scheme instead of a lack of ability. He was great when they were rolling him out and (as […]
What We Learned: Utah State Aggies
It was once again a sloppy performance for the Husky offense, but they ultimately prevailed 16-14 over Utah State, thanks to a last second interception. Let’s get to what we learned. Herculean Efforts So, are we bad? No, seriously. Is the offense bad? Because by my count, we’ve had 8 quarters of football played this […]
Monday Dots: For The Benefit of Brief Respite, the D Will Save the Day, Tonight…
I know “respite” may not rhyme with “tonight”, but it sure passed the eye test before the season began I hit ‘publish’. Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. This Husky offense has performed a high-wire act over the first two games, surviving a number of falls and defying death only because of […]
Recruiting Roundup: Husky Commits Continue To Shine
Happy Sunday Husky fans. After a rough game yesterday I wanted to take a look at the 2027 class and some of the stellar performances that some Husky commits are having. At running back the Huskies are bringing in a good back in 4 star running back Jeremy Adeyanju from Sandra Day O’Connor HS, AZ. […]
Washington Does Bare Minimum in Win Over Utah State
Good news: Washington is 2-0 after surviving a scare against Utah State, winning 16-14. Bad news: There may not be many wins left on the schedule. In Friday evening’s mailbag, I explained why there is cause for concern, but also why I wouldn’t hit the panic button just yet. Less than 24 hours later, I […]
Week 1 Mailbag: Panic, Concern and Optimism
Washington hosts Utah State tomorrow but before we transition to Saturday’s gameday coverage. Here is the Week 1 mailbag! Chicken Little: Is it time to panic? I wouldn’t say the sky is falling, but there is certainly plenty of reason to be concerned. The Huskies’ struggles on offense are excusable, but they make you seriously […]
Opponent Defensive Preview: Utah State Aggies
It’s week 2 and the Huskies look to build on week 1’s Apple Cup victory. While a win is a win at the end of the day, there is certainly a long list of items that the staff would like to see improved against Utah State. The Aggies, now members of the re-formed Pac-12, are […]
The Prediction: Utah State Aggies
It’s Week 2 and the Dawgs look to continue their momentum against the 0-1 Utah State Aggies. Our staff has their predictions for the final score as we hope for a better showing from the offense tomorrow! Coach B (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS) After the Apple Cup performance, I think our defense should end up […]
Friday Dots: Mid Afternoon Calm
Good afternoon Dawg fans. It’s a Friday afternoon and we have some Dots for you, ahead of a potential “get right” game against Utah State! It’s very weird to say the game after winning by 2 touchdowns is a get right game but that feels like that’s where we are as a team. To the […]
Week 2 Open Thread
Week 1 had some tense, close games (Oregon beating Boise, Western Michigan beating Michigan [as I choose to remember it]) and some marquee matchups (LSU vs. Clemson), but the two didn’t overlap much. Will we get more competitive games involving top teams in Week 2? Friday Night: #23 Missouri vs. Kansas in a rivalry game […]
