Illinois travels to Montlake this weekend to in a matchup that may define the remainder of the Huskies’ season. Both the Huskies and Fighting Illini are looking to rebound from tough losses against Michigan and Ohio State respectively. The Huskies’ offensive unit, which has been depleted by injuries, has a tough match up against Illinois’ […]
Star running back Jonah Coleman was named a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, awarded to college football’s top student-athlete. Coleman — and his 3.93 GPA — is the first Husky to be named a finalist since Elijah Molden in 2020. The Seattle Times weighs in on the upcoming bounce back battle with Illinois: […]
The Washington Huskies came back down to Earth as they faced off against the Michigan Wolverines. The team kept things close with a 7-7 tie at intermission before it all unraveled following halftime. The defense did all that they could but the offense did not hold up their end of the bargain. Michigan forced 3 […]
We are getting further into the season and learning more about each team. As a result, the lines are getting better and fewer games are coming in with wildly unexpected results. Of the six games picked last week, only Minnesota’s upset over Nebraska on Friday night jumped out as wildly out of line with expectations. […]
Ahead of a showdown with the 23rd ranked Illinois Fighting Illini, I talked to Pleas (pronounced Plez) Honeywood of SB Nation’s Illinois blog, The Champaign Room to get the lowdown on a very good Illinois team! MS: This is year 5 for Illini Head Coach Bret Bielema. Aside from a 5-7 season in 2023, Bielema […]

Minnesota started the weekend off with a surprise win over Nebraska. Penn State continued its winless streak, this time losing at Iowa. UCLA continued its winning streak by beating Maryland. Ohio State and Oregon won on the road, but all of the other home teams won their games. So where does that leave all of […]
Welcome to the fourth edition of our look at the race for the Big Ten All-Conference team. I’ll be doing this every 2 weeks to provide an evolving snapshot in part to see how dramatically things change over the course of the season. We’re somehow almost halfway through the season already. If you missed the […]
There has been a huge surge of some of the best quarterbacks in the NFL coming from out west such as Josh Allen (CA), Justin Herbert (OR), Jared Goff (CA), and Jayden Daniels (CA) among others. So regionally, UW is at an advantage year-over-year. Will that hold true for the 2027 class as well? Over […]
Michigan beat Washington 24-7 in Ann Arbor last Saturday. Let’s just jump right into it: Passing Offense – 4/10 Quarterback – 4/10 Offensive line – 5/10 Receivers/tight ends – 6/10 Three picks is three picks, and Washington is unlikely to win many games losing the turnover battle 3-0. Now, one wasn’t Demond Williams’ fault, but […]

Football, basketball and soccer links to get you through your Tuesday. To the Dots! Dots:
The Huskies’ Big Ten road woes continued, as they dropped a morning road game in ugly fashion, losing 24-7. Let’s get to what we learned! “Same as it ever was…” During the game, as Michigan dropped the proverbial hammer on the Huskies, I couldn’t help but cast my mind back to the Dawgs’ previous morning […]
Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. The Huskies carried a 7-7 score late into the 3rd quarter in Ann Arbor with a real chance at pulling off a road upset, before UW went INT, INT, TO on downs, INT. UW’s unraveling in the last 17 minutes of Saturday’s game handed the momentum, […]
It has been a tradition for Washington basketball over the last decade or so to host a public exhibition against a local D-II or D-III opponent that results in a 40+ point win. That changed on Sunday as the Huskies hosted UNLV for an exhibition aired on B1G+ to face a team that should actually […]
Happy Sunday Husky fans. The Dawgs took a rough loss yesterday on the road. Hopefully with a few more recruiting classes in the program the Huskies can get some more depth and talented players that can help them win games like yesterday. Today I wanted to look forward to the 2027 class on the defensive […]
Amidst a season that eventually ended with downing Washington in the National Championship Game, Joel Klatt often described Michigan as a boa constrictor. A team that squeezes the life out of its opponents slowly, but surely. It happened to Michael Penix Jr’s Huskies in that heartbreaking defeat. It happened again Saturday, with Klatt in the […]
National Game of the Week: #5 Ole Miss @ #9 Georgia Mississippi has undoubtedly risen to a higher tier under Lane Kiffin.

Last year, UW hosted Michigan and the Dawgs got revenge with a 27-17 win. None of the previous three matchups have […]
It’s a big weekend road trip for the Dawgs as they take on the Michigan Wolverines in the Big House in a 9 AM game. The UWDP staff have their picks below! Andrew Berg (6-0 SU, 2-4 ATS) How you handicap this game likely comes down to which numbers you trust and how much you […]
For the fourth time in five years, and for the second time in the Big House, the Huskies face off against the Michigan Wolverines in what’s turning into a rekindled, now in-conference rivalry.
