In January, Washington was riding a 21-game winning streak, which included a playoff win over Texas.
THEN, UW lost 34-13 in the Natty tilt. They lost their brilliant head coach Kalen DeBoer to the Crimson Tide and virtually their entire 2023 team as only 6 starters returned.
Their 3-2 start is deceptive. The Huskies probably should be 5-0. A horrid play call at the Washington State 1 yard line (a QB run to the short side of the field by a non-runningQB) was pivotal. On Friday, an inexplicable penalty and 3 missed field goals spelled doom in their 21-18 loss to Rutgers.
Their remaining schedule is a horror show:
Michigan
@ Iowa
@ Indiana
USC
@ Penn State
UCLA
@ Oregon
OUCH! The Huskies now rate to be dogs in all but the UCLA game. For those bettors who grabbed the Under 7.5 win total, congrats. A 4-8 or 5-7 season looms.
