Podcasts about Husky Stadium

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, 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.

Ohio State heads to Husky Stadium for its first road test of the season!

After bringing the Apple Cup back to Seattle, the Washington Huskies prepare to hose the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes on Montlake this Saturday. Prior to this weekend's momentous tilt, Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger sync up to break it all down. The former interns begin by taking a look at Washington's 59-24 win over Washington State in Pullman last weekend. Both assign letter grades to the overall performance, share what they believe went well and discuss some areas for improvement. Afterwards, the duo share a couple of storylines each they are looking forward to seeing play out on Saturday at 12:30 PM local time at Husky Stadium. There were plenty of topics to choose from, including Ohio State freshman starting quarterback Julian Sayin making his first road start at The Greatest Setting in College Football, as well as Ohio State's talented playmakers potentially taking on an injury-depleted Washington defense. There's no shortage of intrigue leading up to this showdown. Next, Jack and Luke select their Bets to Bark for the weekend, picking an offensive and defensive player to make a statement. I'll give you a hint: one of the players selected through for nearly 300 yards last week against the Cougs, while rushing for nearly 100 more. Then they take a break from this upcoming game to do their Betting B1G segment. Luke is dominating this competition so far, as he's picked eight of his nine games correctly. Jack, on the other hand, is just 1-8 on the year but is due to get hot! Lastly, both gentlemen assign a numeric value to their confidence level that Washington will shock the nation and knock off the top seed at home.

Today's episode breaks down Ryan Day's press conference and the latest Washington injury updates ahead of Ohio State–Washington. What we cover: Day on Husky Stadium noise: silent cadence plan, road-ops 101, and keeping Julian Sayin steady Why Day calls Washington's offense “very, very talented” (Demond Williams Jr., Jonah Coleman, Denzel Boston) Matchup stress points: OSU DBs vs Boston, spy rules on Williams, tackling Coleman in space Washington injuries and what they mean: CB Tacario Davis – game-time watch (how it flips OSU's WR matchups) LB Buddha Al-Uqda – out (impact on run fits/green-dog pressure) WR Rasheed Williams – out (targets consolidating to Boston/Coleman) S Alex McLaughlin – riser (ballhawk tendencies you must account for) How Hartline can hunt the nickel/outside corner, and Patricia's keys to forcing a turnover No fluff—just what changes, where OSU should attack, and how the crowd factors into execution.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are making a change to their game plan for traveling across the country to take on the Washington Huskies this week. Why did Ryan Day's program decide to leave a day earlier than normal, and how might that impact things during this weekend's game in Husky Stadium? In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Juck Miletti joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and much more, including how Ohio State is preparing for the crowd noise they wil have to deal with in Seattle, the challenge posed by Washington's big bodies on the outside, and more.

With Ohio State off over the weekend, there was nothing for Buckeye fans to do but check out the other games around the country. Whether it was watching Clemson lose again, checking in on Michigan at Nebraska, or staying up late to see if Sparty could take down the men of Troy, there was plenty to watch on Saturday.We start this week's show with a look at the latest Ohio State players to lose their black helmet stripes over the last couple of weeks, becoming “official” members of the team. We also discussed Ross Bjork's efforts to get Ohio State's vacated wins from 2010 reinstated. If the NCAA suddenly doesn't think it's fair to punish players for the actions of their coaches, there should be no issue overturning those vacated wins, as Jim Tressel lying to the NCAA was the most serious offense of the bunch. The players themselves wouldn't have had to trade/sell their own belongings to get tattoos in the era of NIL, so it sucks for them that they parted with keepsakes they might regret getting rid of with the benefit of hindsight.  After touching on the recent OSU news, we took our weekly lap around the B1G to see how other teams made out in Week 4 . Nebraska turned down some early points and it came back to bite the Huskers. Washington, Oregon, and Indiana look formidable, while Illinois and Wisconsin came out of Saturday not looking so hot.  We also looked ahead to the matchups this weekend, although many teams around the conference are having their bye weeks. The Oregon-Penn State game and Ohio State at Washington are the marquee matchups on Saturday, so get your snacks ready. Finally, we previewed the Buckeyes' trip to the Pacific Northwest to take on Washington at Husky Stadium. There are few environments in college football as hostile for visitors, and it will be Julian Sayin's first road start. We're eager to see if the young signal caller continues to play calmly and throw accurately in the face of adversity. We also made our picks to click, selecting the players we think will shine for Ohio State on Saturday, and made our predictions on what the final score will be when the game concludes.  We would love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or send us an email at SilverBulletsPod@gmail.com.

We preview the matchup. 

The Buckeyes head west for their first Big Ten road game of the season — a showdown with the Washington Huskies at Husky Stadium in Seattle. On this episode of TBC Weekly Live, Joe, Jeff, and Shawn break down the matchup from every angle: Can Julian Sayin stay composed in a hostile environment? Will Bo Jackson and the run game feast on Washington's struggling front? What can Ryan Day and Brian Hartline scheme up against a stingy pass defense? And how will Matt Patricia's defense contain dual-threat QB Demond Williams? Plus: key matchups, score predictions, and live chat reaction throughout the show. Pull up a stool and pour a drink — it's time to talk Buckeye football!

It's the 200th episode of the Silver Bullets Podcast and we get to celebrate it by talking about Ohio State's 37-9 win over the Ohio Bobcats. As we predicted, it was an annoyingly close game for a while, but the Buckeyes eventually stopped stepping on rakes in the red zone by bypassing the red zone completely and just chucking up bombs to their playmaking wide receivers. The defense was lights out with the exception of one single play early in the third quarter, and even that was pretty much covered. It merely lacked execution on the back end.We looked back at our score predictions to see how well we prognosticated the game, checked our picks to click to see if they…err…clicked (three out of four got the job done), and discussed the key moments, players, and stats from the game.After that, we took our weekly lap around the B1G to see how other teams made out in Week 3 and looked at the matchups coming up this weekend. There are some enticing games on the schedule, so Ohio State's bye week comes at a good time for us to play voyeur around the rest of the conference.There is no preview this week, as the next game comes a week from Saturday and it's a doozy. The Buckeyes will perhaps face no tougher environment than Husky Stadium when they take on Washington. We'll have our preview for that game next week.We would love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions below in the comments section or ⁠send us an email⁠ at SilverBulletsPod@gmail.com.

That's a good MAC team and should do well in conference play. Meanwhile, Ryan Day has some things he can work on.27:38 - A look around the other results from Week 3 in the Big Ten and a look ahead to Week 4.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - broke down their Colorado State thoughts after further review and also offered up their insights into the main things to watch tonight as the Washington Huskies square off with top-5 FCS foe, the UC Davis Aggies. They go through a thorough recap of what they saw on tape in Washington's 38-21 win over the Rams, starting with quarterback Demond Williams, then the OL, TE, WR, and finally the running backs. After a quick break they turn the tables and talk about the defense and what they hope to see in terms of area of improvement from game one to game two. And Kim asks the guys; who do they expect to be Washington's leading rusher, receiver, and tackler? Scott offers up a quick recruiting update in terms of players expected to be at Husky Stadium tonight (hint: it's mostly going to be 2027 and 2028 prospects), and they also talk about the recent hoops offer to top TE prospect Tytan McNeal from Eastside Catholic. Now having been offered by the Huskies for both football and basketball, which sport is likely going to be his best at the next level. The guys finish up the pregame podcast with their final thoughts, including the fact that the Aggies will be playing in front of a Husky Stadium crowd that will roughly be 15 times the size the one they just saw in their road win at Utah Tech.

Brock and Salk find one word to describe the Mariners play as of late and if it truly matters that much in this moment or not. They then dig into Luis Castillo's struggles as of late and again circle back to the possibility of the team being fatigued. In Blue 88, Brock takes a look at some compelling stats regarding Sam Darnold, his takeaways from Husky Stadium on Saturday and if Jerry Jones could end up winning the Micah Parsons trade.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - stayed up way past their bedtimes to make sure they got their thoughts recorded after Washington's 38-21 win over the Colorado State Rams in the Huskies' season-opener Saturday night at Husky Stadium. The win, the first ever for quarterback Demond Williams Jr. as a starter, was also Washington's 21st-straight home win, a record they hope to build on next weekend against UC Davis. To start the show, the guys naturally gravitated toward the offensive side of the ball. It was there where Washington truly shined, going for 509 total yards, including 283 yards on the ground. That would have been the most yards on the ground last season too. Jonah Coleman almost broke his career mark as he ran 24 times for 177 yards and two scores. Williams added 68 yards on his own. The guys talked about the ability of the Huskies to be able to run, starting with that revamped offensive line, one that included a start from true freshman left guard John Mills. They also talked about Williams' winning performance. The sophomore signal caller was 18-24 for 226 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. After a quick break the talk turned the defense, a group that struggled out of the gate to contain CSU QB Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi and RB Jalen Dupree. But by the second half the Huskies' new look scheme and first-year defensive coordinator Ryan Walters had things dialed in, allowing only 105 total second-half yards, including minus-6 yards on the ground. There were a few standouts, including the play of the game by Makell Esteen, the stellar overall play of NAU transfer safety Alex McLaughlin, and Chris and Scott's defensive player of the game, Jacob Lane. The junior EDGE finished with five tackles, including two tackles for loss, and was the one guy in the first half that really seemed to taste some success while others along the front struggled a bit.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together first thing this morning to preview the first game of the 2025 season for the Washington Huskies. The Colorado State Rams rumble into Husky Stadium for an 8 pm local start, so there's plenty of time for UW fans to tailgate and listen to our preview show. To start, the guys talk about the depth chart that was released by the school, and especially those players who were listed as 'OR', including battles at left guard, receiver, and more. After a break the guys talk about the Rams and also a couple of players on both sides of the ball Washington fans should focus on as players that could break through or newcomers that need to be watched. They also talk about Washington's new-look special teams, led by first-year STC Chris Petrilli and his assistant, Greg Froelich. And Kim has an 'x' factor Washington fans should pay attention to when looking at areas for immediate improvement from last season. Scott gives a recruiting update as there will be a bunch of recruits and committed players at the game tonight, and the guys offer up their final thoughts on what they expect to see between the Huskies and Rams.

RUNDOWN   Not a roast but a convo about Taylor Swift's appearance with the Kelce brothers. Maybe some Kylie vs. Taylor banter, and Billy Joel's new documentary. Mitch and Hotshot run through notable August 18th birthdays and remembrances before spotlighting historic sports moments—from George Brett's chase for .400 to Earl Campbell's retirement and Rich Beem's upset of Tiger Woods. Then a little Beatles-in-Seattle tour lore. From there, the show jumps into Ed Sullivan's power to launch music careers, including the Commodores' near-miss. The Mariners' playoff push and the Seahawks' preseason promise. Mitch praises the offensive line and Sam Darnold's sharp play, while Hotshot keeps him grounded with the refrain: “It's the preseason.” The duo even dream on a Trey Hendrickson trade. The Mariners No-Table crew dives into a tough 2–4 stretch against Baltimore and New York, citing both rotation struggles and lineup issues, while finding optimism in Bryce Miller's return and Brian Wu's consistency. Gino Suarez's slump and playoff rotation questions loom large, as bold predictions fly for the Phillies and A's series. Brady Henderson of ESPN joins to break down Uchenna Nwosu's return, the unlikely Hendrickson trade scenario, Jake Bobo's breakout, and Clint Kubiak's offensive reboot.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - hit on a number of topics that came out of UW's 90-minute scrimmage, held Saturday night in front of roughly 1000 fans inside Husky Stadium. Among the topics discussed: Was the offense bad? And if so, does that mean the defense was good? And how much can you actually take from a scrimmage where basically every single play was scripted?  The left guard battle between John Mills and Paki Finau. The receiver depth, including the two true frosh that led them in catches Saturday night (Dezmen Roebuck and Raiden Vines-Bright). The emergence of Kade Eldridge and bringing back the fullback. The two interceptions forced by true freshmen Dylan Robinson and Rylon Dillard-Allen. Would they have both been 40-yard pick-sixes in an actual game? Some bright spots for the offense in the red zone? Plenty of Special Teams work.

A lot was going on Saturday night in Seattle, but for those die-hard Dawg fans who jonesing for some football? They were treated to a long scrimmage inside Husky Stadium, one that UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch lasted roughly 120 plays, as well as 20 or so special teams plays. The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - were on hand to watch all of it from the beginning warmup to the practice-ending gassers, and they talked about their highlights during this 40-minute review podcast. The main talking point of the night was the apparent injury to right guard Geirean Hatchett. He was able to walk off the field with some help, and later came back putting weight on both feet without issue. Fisch told the assembled media after practice that they think there's nothing to be concerned about long-term for Geirean, so that's fantastic news. But that certainly put the guard rotation into a bit of a mix for the true freshmen - John Mills and Champ Taulealea - as well as redshirt freshman Paki Finau. Chris and Scott went through the players they thought stood out on the night on both sides of the ball, players that they both ended up agreeing on and also gave their thoughts on some of the linemen on both sides of the ball that had really good moments during a scrimmage that was, at times live to the ground but mostly 'thud' tempo. After a quick break they moved to the special teams, where fans got to see a lot of both Grady Gross kicking and Oregon transfer Luke Dunne punting. The guys also talked about their picks for who might end up being the main punt and kick returners for the Huskies based on what they saw. Chris rolled through the main (and very unofficial) offensive stats that he took during the scrimmage, and then the guys talked about the true frosh they expect will burn their redshirts because they've already shown that the coaches won't be able to keep them off the field.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - broke down their thoughts from a spirited Day 8 of fall camp, held under beautiful Friday Seattle skies completely on the east field next to Husky Stadium. The guys started today's podcast with a bit of a look forward to Saturday night's scrimmage. And offensively, a couple of the younger receivers had big days that they talked about. Who has Demond found the most in camp so far? Moving to the defensive side, as it has been all week long starting with true freshman safety Rylon Dillard-Allen starting bits with receivers like Kevin Green and Omari Evans, today it was receiver Chris Lawson that was happy to take up the baton and figuratively shove it in Ramonz Adams' face. Adams retaliated, some of the freshmen linemen intervened, and just like that - practice was over. Vincent Holmes also engaged in a little something that got an immediate retaliation from some of the offensive linemen. It was good to see Lawson back with a full day of practice under his belt after spending almost all of camp up to this point doing half of practice with the team and the other half conditioning. To finish off the podcast, the guys talked about the special teams work being done, the person of new Special Teams Coordinator Chris Petrilli, how he got to Montlake, and more.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were on hand on Montlake Sunday morning to see what the Washington Huskies were up to on Day 4 of fall camp. The competition definitely heated up Friday and that trend continued Sunday in front of a lot of friends and family members. In fact, while most of the practice happened on the east field, the last third took place inside Husky Stadium and was almost all scrimmaging except for one special teams period. The team was in shells and shorts today, so no one was getting tackled and they were doing their best to keep teammates off the ground, but that didn't stop head coach Jedd Fisch from getting after his guys a couple times about knocking players to the ground. The player that seemed to stand out above all others was quarterback Demond Williams. With so many 11-on-11 plays to be had, the sophomore signal caller got a lot of chances to show off his arm and legs, both to a rousing success. There were also some other outstanding performances on offense, including true freshman Raiden Vines-Bright, who continues to impress. We were also able to see the frosh and some other younger players that have been mostly doing scout duty to line up against each other at the very end of practice. After a quick break the talk naturally turns to the other side of the ball, where players like Elinneus Davis and Zach Durfee are letting their presence be known, as well as Arizona transfer Tacario Davis, who came back to make a great diving tip against receiver Rashid Williams right after Williams had connected with Demond Williams for a touchdown.

It was a rare start to fall camp, in fact it's something we really haven't seen before. There was literally no 11-11 competition at all during day one of Washington's fall camp, held Wednesday morning inside Husky Stadium. What took place was mostly individual drills for each position group, as well as plenty of special teams work as the Huskies won't get into full pads for a few more workouts. It did allow the guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - time to really watch the team run and jump around, as well as get their first opportunity at seeing the players that enrolled in June. To start the post-practice podcast, the guys talk about the news that Ryan Otton is medically redshirting. This shouldn't come as big news to hardcore UW fans, as the former Tumwater star and younger brother of Cade Otton played in just two games in three seasons. He simply couldn't get healthy and/or stay healthy, and so a medical retirement definitely felt like it was on the cards. UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch also announced that quarterback Shea Kuykendall is redshirting the 2025 season and will stay on as a student assistant. How does that change the makeup of the QB room? Does it mean the freshmen quarterbacks move up, or had they already passed Kuykendall the depth chart by the end of spring? After some talk about the offensive players that stood out, the guys then turn their attention to the defensive side of the ball, including talk on a couple players that were talked about a lot during Tuesday's media day - defensive back Rahshawn Clark and defensive lineman Anterio Thompson. The guys also talked about the move of true frosh Donovan Robinson to linebacker. Scott provided a quick recruiting update and Kim previewed Thursday's UW Men's Basketball Media Day, as the Dawgman guys will be pulling double duty tomorrow.

The Ohio State Buckeyes will face a challenging road schedule in 2025, including a pair of trips to projected College Football Playoff participants, a cross-country journey to one of the most hostile environments in the sport, and more. So, which of the Buckeyes' road trips are the most dangerous?Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down those road matchups, starting with Ohio State's first visit to Washington's Husky Stadium in 18 years, and concluding with the annual showdown with arch-rival Michigan. 

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - were back on the mic this morning to preview this weekend's last big set of official visits for June, as well as talk about Washington's newest commitment - cornerback Jeron Jones - and also talk a little bit about a couple of top UW recruiting targets that are expected to make their college decisions very soon - O'Dea DL David Schwerzel and EDGE Tristian Givens. To start, the guys talk about the commitment of Jones, a four-star corner from Mission Viejo, Calif. and what his commitment means for the defensive back room, as well as how his pledge might impact others - namely Davon Benjamin from Oaks Christian, who is officially visiting Montlake this weekend. That segues perfectly into talking about the players that are expected to officially visit UW starting Friday. The full list can be found HERE. There's already been one name taken off and one added, so could there be more changes before Friday? After a quick break, Scott talks about the 7-on and 5-on camps he attended Wednesday at Husky Stadium, tournaments that allowed him to see a couple of 2026 UW commits up close and personal; Puyallup OL Ah Deong Yang and Kennedy Catholic DL Derek Colman-Brusa. He also talked about a number of the 2027, 2028, and 2029 players that were also participating, including some that already have offers from the Huskies. Chris and Scott then talk about the early standout performance of 2026 QB commit Derek Zammit at the prestigious Elite 11 competition in Los Angeles, one that saw Zammit fifth overall after day one.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were out on the east field next to Husky Stadium on another glorious Chamber-of-Commerce day in Seattle, this time for Day 11 of Washington's spring football campaign. What did they see? Did they see the offense take some steps toward evening things up in their never-ending battle with the defense? Some of the things that were scripted for practice, like red zone and goal-line situations, should favor the offense, and they were able to take advantage of some things. With Rashid Williams not participating today, it was time for other receivers to step up and be heard. And a couple of them made their return to some team periods, namely Penn State transfer Omari Evans and true freshman Raiden Vines-Bright. On defense, it was Arizona transfer CB Tacario Davis that made his triumphant return to the team periods. The guys talk about their returns and how successful they were in quickly getting back into the swing of things. Scott also provided his take on the biggest news of the day, the flip of top 2026 OL Kodi Greene from Oregon to Washington. Was it expected? Will the former Eastside Catholic lineman stay committed all the way to Signing Day in December? And will his commitment spur on a number of other players to commit to Washington, especially knowing the Huskies have a host of official visitors coming in this weekend?

A 3-game set at Washington is next on the menu for the Huskers as they make a last charge at hosting a regional. Do they have a sweep in them? This week, Husker Heat dives into the first trip to a former Pac-12 park. That's right, the Nebraska Cornhuskers will take on Washington in beautiful Husky Stadium overlooking Lake Washington. We'll also talk about the split with Indiana and the utter meltdown of the coach in the opener. We'll dive into where things sit rankings and RPI-wise and I'm pretty sure Mylie & I will find something to bicker about again.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - break down what they saw from Day Five of UW Spring Football, held Thursday afternoon at the Dempsey Indoor Facility next to Husky Stadium. And it was definitely a day for work in the Dempsey because the weather in Seattle couldn't make up its mind. Half the day was sunny and breezy; the other half was flat-out stormy. The guys talk about their standouts on both sides of the ball, starting with the offense and then moving to the defense. With so many players limited or out, it certainly has given opportunities for the younger players, like true freshmen OL John Mills and Champ Taulealea and true frosh WR Chris Lawson. And on defense there were a number of cornerbacks that didn't participate today, which meant guys like Caleb Presley, Rahshawn Clark, D'Aryhian Clemons and Rylon Dillard-Allen were taking even more first and second team reps than normal. After a quick break Scott talks about three unofficial visitors that were spotted at practice and also hints at some news coming down the pike soon in regards to UW's recruiting efforts. And Kim talks a little bit about today's news regarding the return of shooting guard Wesley Yates to Montlake after a year at USC.

Dawgman.com's Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger get into the holiday spirit this week with their Thanksgiving game week preview, but it's not the Apple Cup! Now that both Oregon and Washington are in the Big Ten and Washington State is in the college football wilderness, it's time to turn the page and look at the rivalry between UO and UW as the true big Pacific Northwest rivalry game. But before they go into the meat of the game against the No. 1 Ducks, the guys recap the UCLA win at Husky Stadium that got the Huskies to bowl eligibility. And that chat folds right into one of the big conversations for Washington fans this week; should Demond Williams start at quarterback instead of Will Rogers? The conversation then merges into a breakdown of Washington's defense and what they can try and do to stop a potent Oregon attack, and then the tables are flipped. What can Washington's offense do against Oregon's stout defense, especially their pass rush? After a break, the guys go into the players they expect to shine in their Bet to Bark segment, and then go into their Betting B1G talk where they look at other conference games and compare their season-long predictions. And then to finish up they go into their Confidence Intervals, which measures just how good they are feeling about a Washington win in Eugene.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio for a Halloween edition of the show, previewing the extremely important game between the USC Trojans and the Washington Huskies. Both programs are 4-4 and both need a victory for a realistic shot at making a bowl game and finishing the season on a high note. The Trojans will have their hands full trying to play in Husky Stadium, where UW has an 18-game winning streak going. USC hasn't won a true road game in over a year and would love to finally secure a Big Ten road win, even if it comes against a familiar Pac-12 foe. Washington's strength lies in its pass defense, ranked No. 1 in the FBS. USC likes to throw the ball with Miller Moss but Lincoln Riley could find more success with Woody Marks and the ground game up in Seattle. The Trojans could get some of their injured defensive players back for this game as they try to keep the Huskies offense at bay. UW is one of the top teams in FBS in terms of total offense, but for some reason Washington struggles in the red zone, making point production much lower. The Dawgs are also terrible on special teams, which could provide an opportunity for Zachariah Branch and Makai Lemon in the return game.

The Dawgman interns - Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger - are back to dissect Washington's weekend opponent, and this week it's the USC Trojans. After their loss at Indiana, the Huskies are back to the drawing board to try and figure out a way to get past their current losing streak. And usually when the USC Trojans come into town, that would a recipe for another loss. But these aren't your mother's Trojans. Under Lincoln Riley, they've been downright average the last season-and-a-half. Both Jack and Luke break down the game in general and offer their thoughts on what UW can try and do on both sides of the ball to help slow the Trojans down. How big will Jonah Coleman be in this game, especially after everyone saw Dillon Johnson run wild at USC last season and their run defense hasn't really improved all that much considering opposing offenses are also throwing the ball pretty well against the Trojans. And can UW slow USC down to give the offense enough chances to score touchdowns instead of field goals? USC is currently 16th in the country when it comes to passing offense, and they'll be going up against statistically the best pass defense in the country. Can Washington continue to show they do have one of the best pass defenses in the country, especially when you start to list all the weapons USC quarterback Miller Moss has to throw to? After a quick break, the guys offer up their Bets to Bark - the UW players they expect will impact the game the most - as well as their Betting B1G segment. And then to wrap up the game preview, Jack and Luke offer up their Confidence Intervals. It's how strongly they believe in a UW win. Needless to say, this week's confidence intervals aren't quite at the same level as they have been most of the year, but they do feel a little bit more confident about a home win compared to the last two weeks when the games were away from the friendly confines of Husky Stadium. The guys then quickly give a nod to the UW Men's Basketball team, whose season starts this coming Tuesday against UC Davis.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Rivalry Week!No, that is not a typo and yes, it's Rivalry Week in the Pacific Northwest and in the Pac-12 Conference. For the first time ever, these 2 games will be played in September.The Oregon State Beavers host the Oregon Ducks in the 128th meeting of the game formerly known as the Civil War. This is the 7th most played match-up in college football history and tied for 2nd at the FBS level.The Washington State Cougars and the Washington Huskies meet up at Lumen Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, in the 116th Apple Cup. This will be the 2nd time this matchup will take place in this stadium as the renovation of Husky Stadium forced the move in 2011.And with realignment still fresh in all four fan bases minds, there is even more spice added to these epic rivalries. It's human nature and it's part of the new world of college football.I've been at both of these games over the years and was on the broadcast for an Oregon State/Oregon game just a few years ago. The energy is different, the passion is through the roof and the distaste for one another is exactly what you'd imagine.This year, it's safe to assume that the vitriol from the Cougs and Beavs fan bases will be even higher.We've been saying for months now that the Cougs and Beavs are America's Teams, and this weekend the nation gets to see them on a grand stage. Washington State is fresh off a dominant win over the Big-12's Texas Tech, where the legendary coach Mike Leach was inducted into the WSU Hall of Fame. The Beavs also sit at 2-0 and are playing exactly how Trent Bray hopes - controlling the clock, running the rock and winning at the line of scrimmage.So welcome to Week 3 as we welcome in first year head coach Trent Bray to the show for a thoughtful conversation, presented by our founding partner 76, about his team in advance of the #9 Oregon Ducks.This Saturday will be his 14th meeting as a member of this rivalry, 4 as a player and 9 as a coach. His expertise in this game is unmatched among anyone associated with it this year and he shared with us exactly how he is talking to his team about this game, what Reser Stadium will feel like at kickoff and how his team has approached the week of preparation. Also, Jim Thornby and I reflect on what went down in Week 2 on the West Coast and how this side of the country is picking up where it left off last year – winning –as Cal, ASU and others earned key victories over the weekend. Be sure to check out our weekly Go Go Go Awards, presented by 76 as we will announce those each Monday this fall. As always, thank you for the support around this new endeavor, it's been better than we could have imagined and it's not possible without your support!This episode is executive produced by Jim Thornby and edited by Victor Ren.This podcast is a Best Coast Media production.
