Elijah Brown, Huskies notch first B1G Win
Washington quarterback Elijah Brown threw too many interceptions for comfort (three) in his first start with the program. He also threw three touchdowns and totaled 302 yards on 21-of-27 passing. His most important stat is a shiny 1-0 record as a Big Ten starter after a 38-26 win over Purdue. Demond Williams was in uniform […]
The Prediction: Purdue Boilermakers
We are just minutes away from kickoff in West Lafayette, as the Huskies take on Purdue in a game that could well decide the direction of both teams’ respective seasons! Our staff has their predictions below. Andrew Berg Before the season, the idea that the Dawgs would be underdogs in this game would have seemed […]
Friday Dots: Boiling Point
Good afternoon Dawg fans! In just a few hours, the Huskies will take on the 3-3 Purdue Boilermakers in what seems like a “must win game”. Ahead of that, we’ve got some Dots for you! Football Dots Basketball Dots That’s all for today, so thank you for making Dots a part of your afternoon, and […]
Week 7 Open Thread
Some of the Big 10 teams we expected to be firmly positioned in the top 25 have disappointed and some who looked like bottom-dwellers have established themselves as contenders. As much as things have changed, the top two teams in the standings have stayed fixed. Ohio St-Indiana looked like the biggest game of the year […]
Opponent Defensive Preview: Purdue Boilermakers
The Huskies hit the road this week and head to West Lafayette, IN to take on the Purdue Boilermakers in search of their first conference win. Washington (3-3, 0-3) are in the midst of a three game skid that began during conference play Purdue (3-3, 2-1) on the other hand are a program that found […]
Film Study: Iowa Hawkeyes
The Washington Huskies returned to Husky Stadium for this year’s rendition of Friday Night Lights. However the team did not show up to play, as they got routed by the Iowa Hawkeyes 41-24. The offense was stagnant out of the gates yet again, while the defense finally collapsed after being the team’s lifeline during the […]
Washington vs. Purdue – Game Thread and How to Watch
My wife has told me a story about how her mom started dating someone around 2000 and she wasn’t sure whether she liked him or not. When the Rose Bowl came around, she found out he was a Purdue fan. Not only did he (living in Seattle) cheer against the Huskies, he enlisted by late […]
Opponent Q&A: Purdue Boilermakers
Tomorrow, the Huskies head to West Lafayette, Indiana for a Friday night showdown with the Purdue Boilermakers. Ahead of that matchup, I caught up with Hammer And Rails’ Andrew Ledman to get all the info on this 3-3 Purdue squad! Mark Schafer: The Boilermakers are led by Barry Odom (the older brother of UW linebackers […]

Opponent Offense Preview: Purdue Boilermakers
It seems like Purdue is finally turning a corner under Coach Brian Odom. A lot of that has to do with improved quarterback play. Ryan Browne has gone from a turnover machine to one of the most efficient passers in the conference. Minnesota transfer running back Fame Ijeboi gives them a physical runner to build […]
Wednesday Dots: What Can Brown Do For You?
Fear is a disease; hope is its only cure. Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Season 1, Episode 17 Elijah Brown will likely get his first start as a Husky on Friday in West Lafeyette. Does he offer the Huskies hope for their first Big Ten conference win this season? Football Dots UW Athletics Dots
Big Ten Rankings and Projections After Week 6
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 Wisconsin. And there are a few surprises at the bottom of the standings including […]
Grading the Game: Iowa
Last week I wrote that I wondered what this offense would be able to accomplish against the first truly good defense it faced. Now we know: three points in the first half and zero run game to speak of. Somehow that wasn’t even the worst part. The defense, the one unit I’d been willing to […]
Monday Dots: Episode 06 – A New Hope
Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. I’m not here to talk about the defense getting run over by Iowa (repeatedly), the defense having no idea where receivers were on TD throws (frequently), or the defense guilty of poor tackling (often enough to look bad). I’m not here to talk about the image […]
Recruiting Roundup: Several Husky Commits Continue To Shine On The Field
Happy Sunday Husky fans. Hopefully everyone was able to de-compress yesterday after another rough outing for the team. With a game on Friday there weren’t many recruits at the game (probably a good thing). Today I wanted to share some updates on some of the Huskies commits and how they are doing in their senior […]
Huskies Crushed by Hawkeyes 41-24
Quarterback Elijah Brown led UW’s only three touchdown drives while filling in for an injured Demond Williams. His performance was the lone positive on a night when Iowa walked into Husky Stadium and rocked Washington 41-24. Friday night’s outing was Washington’s worst performance of the season thus far, and there is plenty of reason to […]
Week 6 Open Thread
Welcome to the open thread, the home for discussion for all non-UW games this weekend. With the Huskies playing on Friday, you can check in any time you like on Saturday, but you can never leave. Saturday Early – There are no ranked vs. ranked games in the early slot, but Indiana at Nebraska could […]
The Prediction – UW vs. Iowa
Andrew Berg I’m sure I’m not the only one who raised an eyebrow when I saw that the Dawgs were favored over a ranked Iowa team. There are a few factors that work in UW’s favor. Iowa has to travel across half the country on a short week to play a road game after facing […]
Opponent Defensive Preview: Iowa Hawkeyes
This week the #20 Iowa Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-1) make their first trip to Montlake since 1963. The Hawkeyes, coming off a 31-14 loss to Ohio State, are hoping to bounce back on the road with everything still left to play for. With a win over now less impressive Michigan, and Ohio State behind them, the […]
Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Washington Huskies – Game Thread and How to Watch
The Friday night game between Washington and Iowa is going to cause the Fox production crew to get into a time machine. It will be the first time the Hawkeyes have visited Husky Stadium since 1963. It will be a chance for Iowa to win their first regular season game west of the Rockies since […]

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 […]
