If you are getting excited these days and you don't know why, do not adjust yourself, it's just the college football season looming large in front of us. If you are a UW Huskies fan, you have even more to be excited about—there is a new era happening on Montlake. With fall ...Published on: 28th July, 2009
Let's remember that the Huskies used to be one of the great tight end factories in the country, sending many to the NFL. Unsurprisingly this has dropped off considerably in recent years. It's hard for some people to really recognize that Chris Izbicki could be the next star, since he hasn't ...Published on: 24th July, 2009
No, not some super potent weapon in the LSU Tigers arsenal, nor is it some tricks up Les Miles' sleeves. The band is traveling to come see the Tigers play the University of Washington Huskies. This comes on the back of a decision the college made to save money in this ...Published on: 21st July, 2009
We've taken a look at the offensive side of the ball, so now let's look at the defense. One of the most glaring issues in the 0-12 2008 campaign was just how bad the Huskies defense was. They couldn't defend against the pass, there was no pass rush or run stop, ...Published on: 20th July, 2009
In the absence of anything completely newsworthy outside of recruiting the past few days, I thought I might try my hand at predicting the Washington Huskies' depth chart. I'll profile each side of the ball in two separate posts. Some positions are pretty easy to predict, like Jake Locker at quarterback, ...Published on: 15th July, 2009
You know your secondary is terrible when you look through the Getty/Bleacher Report archive of pictures and you can't find any good pictures of your defensive backs making plays. It's even worse when most of the pictures are of them getting burned. It goes without saying that the Washington Huskies defense needs ...Published on: 9th July, 2009
Ted Miller has this great piece on the Huskies, a bit optimistic to be sure, but good nonetheless. He puts the over-under on wins for the Huskies at four wins. Seattle Times beat writer Bob Condotta, one of the best sources on the Huskies out there, agrees. For what it's worth, I ...Published on: 8th July, 2009
Leading into the 2009 season it looked like head coach Steve Sarkisian was going to suffer the same problem he had at USC, an overabundance of running backs. A committee system seemed just as likely at Washington. The difference, of course, at Washington is that the running back who proved the ...Published on: 1st July, 2009
The thing I love about going to Washington is that while the rivalries are serious, there's always a bit of fun to be had between us and Washington State fans. Contrast that with the rivalry with Oregon that oscillates between hatred and pure frustration. Well, recently, fans of each school ...Published on: 28th June, 2009
I have to say, this is a pretty dull time to be a college football writer. I embarked on this project of "Husky Trails" to provide comprehensive insight into the happenings of Washington football, and it's been great so far. This last week, however, has been a bit tricky in terms ...
