Dawgman Radio

It wasn't ideal, but a little rain wasn't going to stop the Washington Huskies from getting their Saturday scrimmage work in. So that's what they did. They moved to the Dempsey Indoor Facility for roughly 150 minutes to get in their individual work, as well as a lot of team scrimmaging - some of it 'live' in terms of being able to take the ballcarrier to the ground. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - offered up their thoughts after observing Saturday's practice, and the theme of Saturday was definitely competition. Hard to say exactly how many scrimmage reps they got, but it was probably double what they were able to get a week earlier when practice was cut short due to a serious injury. Starting with the quarterbacks and working their way through the offense first, Kim and Chris talked about the backup quarterback spot, how big is Ansu Sanoe's upside, and just how good are these true freshman receivers? After a quick break the talk turns to the other side of the ball, including talk on the EDGE rotation and also some comments on one of the larger UW recruiting prospects we've seen in some time, 2027 offensive lineman Ben Lowther. Kim also quickly updates the situation with the basketball recruiting portal and some of the players the Huskies are targeting, including one that was at practice - LeJuan Watts. He's the younger brother of current UW DL DeSean Watts. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

It was a beautiful Thursday at Husky Stadium as the Washington Huskies worked through their fifth day of spring football. Though it was a shells-and-shorts practice, the Huskies got a lot accomplished. And there was a lot to talk about now that UW is through a third of their spring practices.  Some of it was through the new players - the freshmen and transfers - clearly getting more comfortable with their roles and the routines that they've become accustomed to. And some of it was players just beyond the point where they've shaken off the rust and are now getting past the 'welcome back' phase of camp and have created a platform for themselves by which they can push on to the next level in their development. The Dawgman guys - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - worked through most of the positions to give not just an idea of who stood out on the day but also who has really taken the biggest advantage of their opportunities. Some of them, like Quaid Carr, have been helped because the players that were expected to be around him aren't there. And others, like a trio of true freshmen in WR Jordan Clay, OL Kodi Greene, and DL Derek Colman-Brusa, have simply impressed by how quickly they've assimilated into the first teams and showed off their considerable talent. In fact, Kim asked Chris and Scott - if one of those three ended up a freshman All-American as John Mills did last year for Washington, who would it be? Clay, Greene, or Colman-Brusa?

In what appeared to be an attempt to make up for some of the reps lost when Jordan Washington was hurt Saturday, Jedd Fisch took his Washington team back into Husky Stadium in full pads to not just finish what they started but also add a few more turns to the video vault. And in doing so they allowed a few players to tack on some own personal highlights, starting with sophomore defensive back Elias Johnson. The 6-foot-2 Johnson was all over the place during Tuesday's Day Four workout, knocking down passes, getting in the way of runs and generally causing headaches for his teammates on the offensive side of the ball. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - talked about Elias' day, and also some of the other players that stood out in their mind on a day where the Huskies didn't have a number of other players available from Saturday's scrimmage. In fact, they were limited in numbers at linebacker to the point where they only had three that could take part in the final team periods. But that didn't stop the Huskies from getting their work done. The guys talked about some players they liked watching on both sides of the ball, and Kim also offered up some thoughts to the conversations he had post-practice with WR Coach Kevin Cummings, WR Dezmen Roebuck, and WR Rashid Williams. And they finished out the podcast talking about Washington's newest commit, as they found their quarterback for the 2027 recruiting class in Goodyear (Ariz.) Desert Edge's Blake Roskopf. If the school sounds familiar, it's because Zerek Sidney and Jalanie George are Roskopf's teammates. Sidney is also a UW commit for 2027 as a receiver and George is 247Sports' top-rated EDGE for the 2028 recruiting class and a top UW target.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were inside Husky Stadium for Day Three of Washington Spring Football, and everything was going along great until an injury unfortunately cut short practice. Running back Jordan Washington was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons. As of the posting of this story he's conscious and moving all of his extremities.Based on the history of how UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch likes to run his Saturday practices, they were just getting into a long team scrimmage period that probably would have gone at least 50-60 plays. But even in the short amount of scrimmaging that we saw in the first day with full pads, we still saw plenty to talk about. The guys go through each position grouping and give their thoughts on what they saw. For instance, today was the first day quarterback Elijah Brown was given the keys as UW's backup behind Demond Williams. He's been going back and forth in a battle with Kini McMillan for that spot. They talk about what they saw from Brown, the freshmen that are making moves, the transfers that are already showing up and making plays, and more in this roughly 40-minute practice recap.

The Washington Huskies were 21st in total defense and 15th in scoring defense last season. Could they be even better in 2026? There sure seems to be a lot of reasons to think so, starting right at the top with defensive coordinator Ryan Walters. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together after day two of UW's spring football campaign, held Thursday afternoon in mixed conditions on the east field next to Husky Stadium, and hashed out all the good, bad, and ugly that they saw during the 150-minute practice. And the intermittent, spitting wind and rain didn't help things for the offense.  The good on that side of the ball came mostly from the receivers and tight ends, led by Rashid Williams, Chris Lawson, and Decker DeGraaf. It was a mixed day for quarterback Demond Williams and a less than stellar day for the centers, as Jake Flores and Parker Cross were deputized during the final team period due to the Hatchett brothers being unavailable at that time. But most of the talk was about the defense. From the big, stout defensive front to the experienced linebacking crew and a defensive backs room filled with youth and athleticism, there was a lot to talk about. It all started with a conversation about Walters, who spoke with the media after Thursday's practice. He talked about his level of comfort being at UW and in Seattle, how it has worked out tremendously for his family. And as he said, when you're comfortable, you can maximize your potential.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together after Washington's first practice of spring and gave their off-the-cuff initial impressions of what they saw during the 150-minute practice Tuesday afternoon on the east field next to Husky Stadium. The first day of spring is always a kind of 'get to know you' practice, especially for the first-year guys and new transfers. It can also be that way for new coaches, like new offensive assistant coach Matt Cavanaugh. The guys went through basically every position group to give their general thoughts, as well as more specific commentary on those players that physically stood out. One thing that rang true after seeing the team on the hoof: Jedd Fisch is realizing his vision of getting bigger, especially along the lines.  It was hard not to be impressed with the overall group of true freshmen that were on hand to practice, starting with OL Kodi Greene and DL Derek Colman-Brusa. Even some of the receivers, like Jordan Clay, and the defensive backs like Jeron Jones and Elijah Durr, were hard to ignore. The guys also talked about the format of practice, how it was geared more to get the guys going with their fundamentals and position-specific drills.

Due to positive feedback, the guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - decided to do another audio mailbag, and this one mostly dealt with what we expect to see during spring football. But it started with bigger picture questions, like donor fatigue in the NIL age, Pat Chun's relationships with Jedd Fisch and Danny Sprinkle, as well as Fisch's long-term prospects as Washington's head coach compared to moving on. After a quick break, the talk turned more into the players and coaches we are excited to see as Spring Football is set to begin this coming Tuesday. Who are our choices for breakout stars? Which freshmen do we think stand the best chance at making an impact in 2026?  Hopefully more questions will be answered as we work through next week and see the team in person.  Oh, and we were also asked about Washington's chances at making the College Football Playoff this coming fall.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together this morning to answer some member-submitted questions and then Chris and Scott answered Kim's questions about former interns, players, and coaches. Some of the questions that were asked: How have UW done in the offseason replacing Denzel Boston...The 10 best current players on the UW roster...Top in-state recruits for the next few years...Opinions on current AD Pat Chun...Best guesses on true freshman that won't redshirt...Jedd Fisch's next coaching destination...A breakdown of 2026's defensive line and EDGE group... And then Kim got to ask some of his most-pressing questions about former coaches and players the guys loved to talk to and would want to have a beer or drink with, as well as favorite interns and a lot more.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - broke down Washington's portal business now that the end day to enter the transfer portal has come and gone (January 16). Scott did a fantastic job of breaking down how Washington approached this portal cycle, their process, positions of need identified, and how well they achieved balance in those positions in his latest recruiting blog. To start, Scott added some context to his blog thoughts and they talked about any UW players entering the portal Scott was surprised about. And there were a few. After a quick break, the guys talk about any other portal entries that may have seen the 'writing on the wall' and used that as their rationale for entering the portal. To finish out, the guys talk about the 9 portal signings that Jedd Fisch already spoke on this past week, and how well they addressed need. And could the Huskies actually sign more high school players for the 2026 recruiting class? The start date for the regular 2026 prep signing window starts on Wednesday, February 4.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together shortly after Demond Williams announced his return to Washington, followed closely by public statements made by UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch and UW AD Pat Chun. They go through the statements, give their initial thoughts on not just the statements but the last 48 hours, and what they think will happen now. Did Demond simply 'see the light' after conversations with Fisch and others, or was it a case of finding out he wasn't nearly as attractive a transfer candidate based on the toxic nature of how events unfolded? And in the end, does any of that matter? And is this a situation where, because Williams simply returned where he came from, everything is good and things go back to status quo? Or will this story end up being a test case to catalyze serious change to the way contracts are drafted and enforced? The guys hash all that out and give their final thoughts on what this means for UW going forward, not just as a program, but also specifically at quarterback because they are still in a situation where they could use another experienced quarterback to back Williams up like Kai Horton did last season.

No question about it; the news of UW quarterback Demond Williams Jr to the transfer portal hit the college football world like a ton of bricks. It was unexpected and it will have ripple effects not just for Washington, but the college football world moving forward. We haven't seen it often, but it's going to happen more and more That sounds a bit hyperbolic, but that's how the Dawgman guys - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - see it. After getting their initial thoughts out on the news, how unexpected it was and the reaction not just from them but from sources in and around the UW program, they talk about next steps and what this means not just for Williams, but for UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch. Whether you thought the careers of Williams and Fisch were tied together for the 2026 season, you were likely wrong. With Black Monday creating a lot of NFL Head Coaching opportunities, does that mean Fisch will now be looking to leave UW too? Or does it mean Fisch now has the ability to attract another high-level quarterback, someone with the same potential as Williams?  And with ESPN's Pete Thamel reporting UW will use every available remedy to make sure Williams abides by the contract he just signed days ago, how can Demond ever come back to Montlake now? It sounds like the Big Ten Conference is getting involved too. On the outside, it feels like bridges are being burned by the hour. And lastly, what does this mean for UW now that they have a quarterback opening on their roster? Will the QB transfer dominoes reset? With this news, will other quarterbacks start looking seriously at Washington as a destination? And who could those quarterbacks be? Take everything said on the podcast with a grain of salt; this story is still very warm and continues to develop sidebars. It could very well be that some of the information talked about has already changed in a matter of hours. It's just beginning, so it's hard not to jump to some assumptions or conclusions based on the cursory evidence out there in the public eye.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - spent Friday morning hashing out the latest public declarations when it comes to the impending transfer portal, what that means for the scholarship numbers moving forward, and then finish things up with a 'Battle For Seattle' preview. The 10 scholarship players that have publicly declared their intentions to enter the transfer portal when it opens up on January 2. WR Audric HarrisLB Deven BryantDL Bryce ButlerDB Dyson McCutcheonOL Davit BoyajyanDB Leroy BryantOL Zachary HenningDB Vincent HolmesWR Raiden Vines-BrightRB Adam Mohammed After a quick break to pay some bills, the guys go into the scholarship numbers as the coaches build their roster ahead of the 2026 season. Is the first big wave of portal declarations done? Or will there be another wave? Scott and Chris give their numbers in terms of players they expect Washington to nab from the portal, and what positions they expect to be prioritized. After that, the guys take a ride on the coaching carousel. Are the Jedd Fisch-to-Michigan rumors officially dead? And what about the assistants? Scott gives his take on Washington's first commit for the 2027 recruiting class, WR Braylon Pope, and then Kim and Chris finish the pod out with a preview of tonight's UW Hoops game versus Seattle U at Climate Pledge Arena in the yearly Battle For Seattle.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in Los Angeles and Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund in Seattle - break down all the things that went right in UW's 38-10 win over Boise State, and where the team goes from here, especially knowing their head coach is apparently a wanted man.  From the Huskies' point of view, it was a brilliant night from start to finish, as all three phases did their part to keep the Mountain West Champs at bay. The guys talked about that, as well as these other topics... - Demond Williams, his four-touchdown night and his ceiling going into 2026 - Balanced play on offense and a good way for Jonah Coleman to finish off his college career.  - Ryan Walters really stepping up to created a strong Washington defense, especially as the season went on.  - Turnovers were a big reason for UW jumping out to a big halftime lead and kept the lead growing.  - Jedd Fisch said he's coming back to Washington, but will that be true a week or two from now? And does Fisch to Michigan even make sense from a practical point of view at this point in time?

Last week, Washington's coaching staff signed 25 players during the early signing period. In this podcast, Dawgman's Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters go through each of the 12 defensive prospects who signed and where they see each one fitting in once they arrive. A big focus was the versatility of the defensive prospects including top in-state prospect Derek Colman-Brusa who could play almost anywhere along the defensive line next season. He is joined by another top in-state prospect in O'Dea's David Schwerzel who signed late on Wednesday with the Dawgs as well as top out-of-state targets Tufanua Ionatana Umu-Cais  and JD Hill and a developmental prospect like Ta'a Malu who is only in his second season of playing football. At linebacker the Huskies added two long, hard-hitting athletes at the position in Ramzak Fruean and Ezaya Tokio, each of whom is over 6'4" tall. In the secondary, much like the defensive line, the Huskies added five players, four of which could project at four different positions in the deep patrol. Elijah Durr, Jeron Jones and Ksani Jiles each look like they are fits at corner. Gavin Day, a hard-hitting safety from the state of Nevada, will be an in-the-box safety while Rahsjon Duncan is a swing player who could play both safety or corner and was called by national pundits/analysts the hardest hitting corner in class.

Last week, Washington's coaching staff signed 25 players during the early signing period. In this podcast, Dawgman's Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters go through each of the 12 offensive prospects and the one specialist who signed and where they see each one fitting in once they arrive. They went through each position group and started things off by discussing Derek Zammit, a quarterback from New Jersey, who committed to the Huskies over offers from Alabama and Miami among others.  A big focus was the targets that Zammit will have to throw to including a three highly-rated wideouts in Mason James, Jordan Clay and Trez Davis as well as a wideout who emerged on the 7on camp circuit, Blaise LaVista. The Huskies were able to flip Clay (Baylor) and Davis (Tulane) late in the process and they talked about how all that played out. The offensive line got a lot of attention with five-star Kodi Greene leading the way. They also talked a lot about the running back class which featured four-star Valencia (Ca.) tailback Brian Bonner and three-star Oregon tailback Ansu Sanoe as well as the tight ends who saw a flip from Kekua Aumua from Florida as well as Sam Vyhlidal who came on during the spring and summer with great workouts in front of the Husky coaching staff.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - had all sorts of things to talk about after Washington's 26-14 loss to No. 6 Oregon Saturday at Husky Stadium.  Among the topics discussed:  The slow start for the Washington offense, especially QB Demond Williams, and his struggles taking what the Oregon defense was giving him.  The inability of UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch to stick with the run when it was working, especially feeding Adam Mohammed. The UW defense keeping them in the game, despite very little pressure on Oregon QB Dante Moore, as well as their day shutting down the Ducks' run game. Oregon using long drives to take the air out of the game, especially in the second and third quarters.  Special teams issues.  Bowl game preference and how that will affect how the Huskies attack their offseason plans.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Yesterday was Black Friday, so does that mean today could be Blue Saturday? Either way, one of the fanbases - either from Oregon or Washington - will definitely be singing the blues come this afternoon. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together a little early this week because the coaching carousel is about to be put into overdrive. What that means for Washington and Jedd Fisch is obviously yet to be determined, but there's already rumblings of movement with the major job openings. So a caveat; when you hear this podcast things may have changed a little bit in that regard, but we expect most of the coaching carousel carnage to happen starting tonight and moving into Sunday and Monday. We get to all of that eventually, but we also covered the below topics during the pregame show: Is the Oregon-Washington game really hate week?Does a Washington win kill Oregon's playoff chances?Dante Moore...can he be rattled?Oregon's strong stable of running backsNo Jacob Manu, so who will step up on defense for Washington?Both teams dealing with injuriesQuentin Moore a bigger target in this game for UW?Washington's run threatsDealing with more of a mixed crowd, UW fans giving up their ticketsRecruiting update and who will be at the gameFinal Thoughts And we'd be remiss to not mention... if you aren't a current Dawgman subscriber, we are running our best promotion of the year to coincide with Black Friday: 75 PERCENT off an annual subscription.

After a decisive road victory against UCLA in the Rose Bowl, the Washington Huskies return home to take on the Oregon Ducks. Former interns, Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger, get together to recap last week and turn their eyes to rivalry week. First, Jack and Luke assign letter grades to Washington's 48-14 domination of the Bruins in the Rose Bowl. This wire-to-wire beatdown allowed the Dawgs to secure their 8th win in the season, exceeding the O/U 7.5 mark many sports books assigned to UW this year. Additionally, it guarantees that Washington will be at least two-wins-better in year two under Jedd Fisch than they were in his pilot season. Next, Jack and Luke discuss storylines that they will be keeping an eye on in Washington's upcoming battle with Dan Lanning's Ducks. These include discussing how Oregon's potent rushing offense will fare against Washington's solid defense, injury limitations on both sides, and more. After that, each pick their "Bets to Bark" for this upcoming contest. Not to give away hints, but you could likely guess a few of the players that were selected. One of them may or may not be pictured below. The show transitions away from this upcoming game for the Betting B1g segment. Luke continues to dominate this space and has already secured the season victory. Lastly, the former interns disclose their confidence interval that Washington could pull off an upset with possible College Football Playoff ramifications.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in Los Angeles and Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund in Seattle - stayed up late and burned the midnight oil, but why not? There was so much to talk about as Washington took UCLA to the woodshed 48-14 in what might be the last league game ever played in the Rose Bowl. If you're a Washington fan, what a way to do it. It was a game that had so many crazy things happen, including the possibility that this game was the last league game ever at the Rose Bowl, playing on grass the first time this season, a handful of UCLA fumbles, two special teams touchdowns, Adam Mohammed running for over 100 yards, Demond Williams gaining more and more confidence as the game wore on, the defense absolutely showing up when they needed to, and so much more. And they did it all with a pretty banged up team, one that had a limited Jonah Coleman and Denzel Boston, and no Tacario Davis even though he warmed up before the game. But plenty of other players stepped up to handle their business. And the guys also tried to tackle the question a lot of UW fans were asking themselves after the game; should UW now be extending Fisch's contract? And should they also be looking to sweeten the deal they have in place for Washington DC Ryan Walters like they did former OC Ryan Grubb back after the 2022 season?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund in Seattle - got together early this morning while Kim Grinolds was trying to evade the Los Angeles traffic in order to get to the Rose Bowl. This game between Washington and UCLA can definitely be seen as a game with two teams going in opposite directions. Washington is 7-3, coming off a win over Purdue and trying to end their season on a high note. UCLA, having already fired their coach two months ago, is 3-7 and won't have a postseason. So does this game and their game against USC count as 'bowl' games for the Bruins? And as such will Tim Skipper, Jerry Neuheisel, and Kevin Coyle empty their playbooks and literally throw everything they can at Washington? During the 85-minute pregame show, Scott and I hit on the following topics: - How the recent LA rains might impact the surface at the Rose Bowl and UW playing on grass for the first time this season- How injuries are impacting both teams, including QB Nico Iamaleava for UCLA and Denzel Boston for UW- Matchups for both Washington's offense and defense against what UCLA is going to offer- Will Audric Harris play tonight, or continue his plan to redshirt?- Recruiting talk, including thoughts on UW's latest commit, DL JD Hill, and the updated 247Sports' recruiting rankings and ratings- How UW might be affected by the coaching carousel, especially if the Huskies win out and get to 10-3. Will Fisch become a hot commodity, and if so will Pat Chun be able to keep him at UW?- Final game thoughts To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Washington Huskies, fresh off a dominant win over the Purdue Boilermakers last weekend, are headed to Pasadena to take on the Bruins of UCLA. Given Washington's road performance this year and UCLA's possible departure from the Rose Bowl, there are a number of factors that make this game between two teams with opposite records quite interesting. Former interns Jack and Luke discuss the storylines they're most eager to watch unfold this Saturday at the Rose Bowl at 7:30 pm local time. Additionally, they share their thoughts on who they think will have a standout performance for the Huskies. One of the two gives a nod to Jordan Washington, who had a highlight touchdown run, showing off his highly anticipated wheels against Purdue. Afterwards, they move onto Betting B1G. Jack and Luke each went a perfect 3-0 last week and are hoping to back that up with another great performance. Finally, they provide their confidence interval that Washington can collect its eighth win of the year, officially exceeding the Vegas projected 7.5 win total before the start of the season.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - hashed out all the main talking points after the Washington Huskies defeated the No. 23 Illinois Fighting Illini Saturday afternoon at Husky Stadium. And just like the weather coming off Lake Washington, the UW fans in attendance got to see a little bit of everything. They saw the Huskies go 6-6 in the red zone with 6 touchdowns, they saw the Huskies penalized 30 yards on one play, they saw a double pass between their Big 3 - Demond Williams, Denzel Boston, and Jonah Coleman. They saw Boston get career highs for catches and yards. And most importantly, they were able to see the Huskies come home, wash the bitter taste of a 17-point defeat at Michigan, and cap it off with a dominant offensive display as UW now goes into their second bye week before heading to Wisconsin. The guys talked about the key plays and drives that allowed Washington to get ahead and even go back into the lead late in the first half after Illinois had bounced back to take their own lead. And then they hashed out all the different adjustments that were made on both sides of the ball, the takeaways, the almost takeaways, the penalties, and everything else that happened during a day where the weather seemed to show all four seasons within a span of a few hours.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in Ann Arbor and Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund in Seattle - caught up postgame after Washington's 24-7 loss to Michigan, a game where anything that could have gone wrong for the Huskies did. And then when it seemed to go right, the nature of the brutal battle turned those tiny wins into Pyrrhic victories due to injuries. Three offensive players - starting left tackle Maximus McCree, starting tight end Quentin Moore, and backup tight end Kade Eldridge - all went down with first half injuries and Washington Head Coach Jedd Fisch said postgame that the prognosis for all three in terms of coming back to play soon wasn't good. In fact, McCree is now out for the year with a foot injury. The guys talked about how the injuries impacted a game that already had major injury concerns for both teams, how Michigan was able to pull the card UW used last year against the Wolverines by using second-half turnovers to go ahead and stay ahead on the scoreboard, the massive discrepancy in time of possession - especially in the fourth quarter - and more. They talked about the battle between Demond Williams and Bryce Underwood, how the battle in the trenches ultimately impacted the game for both young quarterbacks, and also Fisch taking responsibility for not getting his team prepared to finish the game the way they needed to. Washington has figured out a way to beat the teams they should. But what about the teams they could beat? That also is something the guys talked about in their final thoughts as the Huskies head back to Seattle licking their wounds and searching for answers as another tough opponent - Illinois - is set to travel to the Emerald City off a bye week.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund back in Seattle - get up with the roosters early this morning and hold down the fort and focus on the main talking points leading into a monster game between Washington and Michigan while Kim Grinolds is en route to the Big House. So much is on the line this morning! With the Huskies at 5-1, a win over Michigan would be a statement win, a win that could catapult them right into the Big Ten Championship conversation if they were able to back it up with a home win over Illinois. A loss, and it feels like they're back to the drawing board in terms of figuring out exactly where they fit in the conference hierarchy. With Ohio State, Indiana, and Oregon being the clear three at the top, where do the Huskies fit in within that next tier? What is undeniable is that a win over Michigan would immediately jump Washington into the top-25 with a bullet, no question about it. Chris and Scott talk about the merits of whether UW should already be in the top-25 and how much an early start could factor in like it did against Iowa and Indiana last season. Other topics that were discussed during this comprehensive pregame show: Slow startsTake the ball or defer if you win the toss?Michigan's offense versus Washington's defenseWhat should UW do with LB Jacob Manu?The battle between Michigan's emerging WR corps and Washington's DBsShould Ryan Walters heat Bryce Underwood up?Washington's offense versus Michigan's defenseIs a UW blowout win even possible?Recruiting updateFinal game thoughts To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Lifted by another strong second half against Rutgers, the Washington Huskies will carry a 5-1 record into Ann Arbor to take on the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday. Ex-Interns Jack and Luke rehash Washington's win over the Scarlet Knights before turning their attention to this upcoming weekend. Topics of discussion include Washington's recent slow starts and the challenge of playing a 9 AM Pacific Time game. On the brighter side, they discuss the likelihood of Demond Williams continuing his impressive sophomore campaign against a Wolverine pass defense that has allowed teams like Nebraska, USC, and Oklahoma to move the ball through the air. Luke also looks to continue his dominant Betting B1G season, where he currently boasts a 12-6 picking record and a six-game lead over Jack. The duo also picks a couple of players on each side of the ball that they anticipate performing well against Sherrone Moore's Wolverines on Saturday.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were on hand to witness Demond Williams record-setting night as the Washington Huskies beat Rutgers 38-19 Friday night at Husky Stadium. The sophomore quarterback threw for over 400 yards and set the record for the most total yardage in a single game while another record-setter - Charles "E.T." Frederick was on hand to watch. Frederick still holds the UW All-Time Single Game All-Purpose yardage record. Frederick was at the game for teammate Reggie Williams, who is part of the 2025 UW Hall of Fame class. Besides Williams' fantastic night, the guys also talked about another slow start for the Huskies, which found them down 10-0 after the first quarter, their fight back to be down only three at the half, and then the monstrous second half by the UW offense. After only generating 80 yards through the first 15 minutes of play, the Huskies finished the night with 579 yards of total offense. They talked about the decision to hold LB Jacob Manu out while giving a chance for true freshman Zaydrius Rainey-Sale to get his first snaps in as a Husky. They also talked about how the left side of the offensive line did as Paki Finau made his first career start and Maximus McCree started for the second-straight game for Carver Willis. The guys also talked about the game within the context of the Seattle Mariners' historic 14-inning win over the Detroit Tigers, a game that started before the Rutgers-UW game and ended well after the Huskies had finished off the Scarlet Knights.
