Good afternoon Dawg fans! It’s Friday, and tomorrow night, the Huskies will take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the Big Ten opener! To the Dots! That’s all for today, so thank you for making Dots a part of your afternoon, and as always, Go Dawgs!

Week 4 Open Thread

Here is your open thread for all College Football Discussion over the weekend. For Husky-specific chat, check out the Game Thread.

While Northwestern is better than expected, it would still […]

Minnesota @ Washington: Game Thread and How to Watch

Most UW fans expected to enter Big 10 conference play at 3-0, but few expected it to play out the way it has. The Huskies have looked listless and undisciplined, especially on offense. The results have led to many of us lowering our expectations for the season, but a full year of disappointment is not […]

Opponent Defensive Preview: Minnesota Golden Gophers

The Huskies open Big Ten conference play this weekend against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. It’s been a while since UW and Minnesota last played. The last contest between the teams was back in 1977, so there’s a decent chance that the younger fans at that game are now watching their respective teams with their grandkids. […]

Opponent Q&A: Minnesota Golden Gophers

This week, I caught up with Randy Johnson of the Minnesota Star Tribune to get the lowdown on the Minnesota Golden Gophers as they make their way to Husky Stadium for a late night clash.

Film Study: Eastern Washington

The Washington Huskies add another to the win column, as they took down the Eastern Washington Eagles 48-16 at Husky Stadium. The offense finally came to life, scoring more points than their first two games combined and totaled over 500 yards, as the Demond x Dezmen was automatic all game. The defense showed some cracks […]

Mailbag: Call For Questions

Washington is 3-0 after dismantling Eastern Washington 48-16 on Saturday. Since then, the Huskies have turned their attention to Minnsota ahead of its Big Ten opener. Minnesota is 2-1 on the year. It thrashed Eastern Illinois and Akron, but fell to Mississippi State in between those contests. Typically, losing to the Bulldogs is a bad […]

Hello, Dawg fans… Welcome to another episode of the AWHIP spinoff format with Coach B & producer Collin O’Meara As conference play begins, we discuss what the Huskies did in their most recent win over Eastern, and dive deeper into offense and defense strategies shown by the Huskies thus far, including: Go Dawgs!!

Opponent Offense Preview: Minnesota Golden Gophers

Big Ten play is finally here. The Gophers took care of business against Eastern Illinois and Akron, but in between they got run off their own field by Mississippi State. Which version shows up in Husky Stadium? To the (offense) preview. The Numbers One thing to note: three of Minnesota’s touchdowns weren’t scored by the […]

Wednesday Dots: Shared History

Choose what is right, not what is easy. Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Season 2, Episode 18 Avoiding some of the penalties, especially like the ones on the defense last week, may not be easy. But the coaches and players know that they need to do the right thing and avoid them or they could […]

Big Ten Rankings and Projections After Week 3

All but 4 of the Big Ten teams have finished the non-conference portion of their schedule; and half of the remaining teams will finish this weekend. Most of the non-conference games last weekend were not particularly helpful since there were large margins of victory over teams that they were expected to handle easily. There were […]

Grading the Game: Eastern Washington

Washington closed out non-conference play with a comfortable win over an FCS opponent, piling up 546 total yards and averaging 8.8 per play. Both the scoreboard and box score looked good, but with EWU sitting a tier below the Huskies in FCS, this was a game that should have been a comfortable victory. Yes, I […]

What We Learned: Eastern Washington Eagles

The Huskies took care of business on Saturday afternoon, beating the Eastern Washington Eagles 48-16.

Find A Way With Jayden Limar […]

Monday Dots: They Are Who We Thought They Were

Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. On the cusp of Big Ten play, the Washington football Huskies grabbed a win they needed, but one their fans needed more. After two lackluster offensive showings against “lesser” teams, the Dawgs welcomed the Eastern Washington University Eagles, who brought their FCS selves and their 1-2 […]

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. […]

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.

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.

It’s Week 3, and that means the Huskies will once again play host as they welcome the Eastern Washington Eagles to Husky Stadium.
