Film Study: Washington State, Apple Cup Edition
Welcome back Husky fans to another season of college football! Washington enters Year 3 of the Fisch era in an unconventional way, kicking off against the Washington State Cougars for a Week 1 Apple Cup matchup. The team also played in an offbeat way, struggling against their former Pac-12 counterpart and not like the #17 […]
Opponent Q&A: Utah State Aggies
This week, the 1-0 Huskies will take on the 0-1 Utah State Aggies, as they attempt to clean up their mistakes from Week 1 and right the ship, as it were. To get the lowdown on the Aggies, I reached out to Dan Allison of Mountain West Connection. Here is what he had to say […]

Call For Questions: 1-0 Edition
Washington is 1-0 after downing Washington State in a unique Week 1 clash between the in-state foes. The Huskies were excellent on defense, but their inability to generate positive plays on offense is worrisome. That said, Week 1 can be ugly for teams, especially against a rival. What’s more troubling are the updates that came […]
Opponent Offense Preview: Utah State Aggies
The Aggies are 0-1 after a stunning 29-17 loss to FCS Idaho State. They are coached by a familiar name in Bronco Mendenhall, who has faced the Huskies as coach of BYU three times, winning just once. The Washington defense largely played a great game last week and should be feeling confident against an Utah […]
Wednesday Dots: Stop Talking
Truth enlightens the mind, but won’t always bring happiness to your heart. Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Season 1, Episode 16 Now that this team has played a game, they know the truth about how good they are and where they need to improve. And that need for improvement should not make them happy. Hopefully […]
Recapping the 2026 Spokane UW Alumni Event, Part 1
This past Wednesday was the day of one of my favorite events of the year, the Husky alumni luncheon at the Spokane Club! Long time readers may know that I usually interview Damon Huard and the voice of the Huskies, and usually Damon’s interview gets published first. That will continue, but rather than a straightforward […]
Big Ten Rankings and Projections After Week 1
The first full week of games produced an upset (Rutgers) , a near upset (Michigan) , a couple of close calls (Michigan State and Oregon, and some would say Washington), and a solid win by a team where the game was expected to be close. Let’s see what those results do to where the teams […]
Grading the Game: Washington State
Passing Offense – 6.5/10 Quarterback – 6.5/10 Offensive line – 4/10 Receivers/tight ends – 7/10 Demond Williams finished 24-of-35 for 268 yards and a touchdown, no picks, no sacks, and tacked on 61 yards and a score with his legs, but that final line covers up how disjointed this game felt through most of the […]
Tuesday Dots: Backfield Blues
Hope everyone enjoyed a long weekend. It still feels bizarre that the Apple Cup is already over after week one, but here we are. To the Dots! Dots
What We Learned: Apple Cup
It was a frustrating effort by the Dawgs as they were far from perfect in a week one Apple Cup. Nevertheless, they persisted through adversity (oftentimes adversity of their own making), to pick up a 24-10 win over the Cougs in the 118th Apple Cup. Let’s get into what we learned! Thrown Headsets And Snooze […]
Monday Dots: They Say a Team Improves the Most..
Let’s hope they’re right. Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. In the end, sure the good vibes of keeping the Apple Cup trophy lifted my spirits somewhat. Although in the 3rd quarter I turned to the Husky fan next to me and said “Assuming we hold on, this may be the most […]
Apple Cup stays put, Huskies beat Cougars 24-10
If Washington is going to succeed, Demond Williams needs to have a high usage rate as both a passer and runner. He is at his best when he’s on the move, and the Huskies are as well. That’s my primary takeaway from Washington’s frustrating, but earned, season-opening Apple Cup victory. On the one hand, Washington’s […]

It’s game week, and that means we get to kick off another season of opponent defensive previews. This year we open the season against the Cougs in Husky Stadium for the first true home game Apple Cup since 2023. In what should be a refreshingly lively season opener, WSU also begin the Kirby Moore era. […]
Opponent Offense Preview: Washington State Cougars
There aren’t many returners from last year’s WSU team that lost to UW 59-24, and their strength as a team this year should be defense. But today, we examine the offense. Let’s get to it. Key Players Washington should be familiar with redshirt sophomore QB Caden Pinnick, who they faced as the UC Davis quarterback […]
Wednesday Dots: Seattle Sound
Trust is the greatest of gifts, but it must be earned. Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Season 4, Episode 8 Much of the talk of the offseason has been around whether Demond Williams can lead the team after his brief foray into the Transfer Portal. He has tried to build that trust back and had […]
30 Day Countdown: Day 3 – B1G Win Projections
Week 0 is in the rear-view mirror, and Week 1’s arrival is imminent. Of the 18 teams in the conference, only USC took the field in Week 0. The result was an easy victory over San Jose State. I predicted how USC will fare in its other 11 games, and did the same for every […]
