Huskies Down Nevada 83-66

Opponent Q&A: Oregon Ducks

It’s now rivalry week and to get the lowdown on this year’s Oregon squad, I talked to Addicted to Quack’s Tristan Holmes for this week’s Q&A! MS: This is year 4 for Dan Lanning at the helm of the Ducks. He has garnered national attention in recent weeks for being both steadfast in his loyalty […]

Big 10 Pick 6 – Pluck the Ducks

Last week didn’t have a bevy of crazy upsets in the Big 10, but it did have some surprising results. Wisconsin, who looked very much like a lame duck team for most of the year, spanked #21 Illinois. Penn St hammered Nebraska, 37-10. Michigan St put up a good fight on the road against Iowa, […]

Big Ten Rankings and Projections After Week 13

There was one upset in the Big Ten last weekend as Wisconsin beat a previously ranked Illinois team. Penn State showed that their win over Michigan State wasn’t a fluke by convincingly beating what had been a decent Nebraska team.

2027 Recruiting Class Preview: Edge

Welcome to part six of this series where we look at the edge position. While there are not that many offers at edge, I chose not to combine them with the DL position like I did with OL, because DL alone has about 20 offers. As a reminder, prospects can fall into four tiers: Committed: […]

Monday Dots: Road Dawgs Triumph After Dark, Ruin Bruins Rose Bowl Swan Song

UW Spoils UCLA’s Potential Rose Bowl Finale

The Greatest Setting in College Football is on Montlake. But the most grand? That’s in Pasadena, with a name equally as special: the Rose Bowl.  As Yogi Roth said during the NBC broadcast of Washington’s 48-14 thrashing of UCLA, not many would be opposed to the Rose Bowl hosting the National Championship Game every season.

Washington Huskies @ UCLA Bruins – Game Thread and How to Watch

UCLA has been a team of streaks. They opened the season with four straight losses that cost Deshaun Foster the coaching job. They proceeded to win three in a row, including a win over Penn St that hastened James Franklin’s departure. Since then, they have returned to earth with three straight losses, although those two […]

Week 13 CFB Open Thread

National Game of the Week: #15 USC @ #7 Oregon While this game is not likely to impact the race to make the Big 10 Championship Game, the loser is probably out of the running for the CFP. USC has been volatile under Lincoln Riley, and the highs have not been high enough or consistent […]

2027 Recruiting Class Preview: OL

Welcome to part five of this series where we look at OL. Normally, I would split the OL into OTs and IOL getting their own article, but since there are only 17 total offers between the two groups, I decided to combine them onto one list. As a reminder, prospects can fall into four tiers: […]
