Dawgman Radio: A Washington Huskies athletics podcast

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in West Lafayette, Ind. and Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund in Seattle - got together after Washington's 38-26 win over the Purdue Boilermakers and they had plenty to talk about. Despite three first-half turnovers and five overall, the Huskies still led 24-17 through efficient offense led by quarterback Elijah Brown and timely defense that turned potential touchdowns into field goals. They kept up the pressure on defense, forcing a couple of fourth-quarter courtesy of picks from Jeron Jones and Rylon Dillard-Allen to keep the Boilermakers at bay. It's the first time since 2003 that Washington was able to fade five turnovers in a win. Ryan Walters wanted his team to come out and play with an edge, and they did just that. A major talking point was the play of Brown, who finished with over 300 yards and three passing touchdowns to go with three picks. Were the interceptions his fault? The fault of the receivers? Or a combination of the two? And the other major talking point of the night was Washington's run game, where they were able to generate 186 yards on 34 carries. What went right? What changed from last week where they could only muster minus-3 yards at home against Iowa?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - are here to break down all the key talking points and storylines for tonight's Washington-Purdue game as Kim Grinolds makes his way from Indianapolis to West Lafayette, Ind. and Ross-Ade Stadium. Historically, the Huskies have had great success on the road at Purdue. They're 3-0, the last win coming in 1990. But all three of those wins? Washington was ranked. They aren't ranked coming into tonight's game, and in fact are on a three-game skid. The Boilermakers have won their last two games and all momentum seems to be favoring them. So what is it going to take to find a UW win on the road? The weather isn't going to be super conducive to throwing the ball, as 15 mph winds are expected all night. Rain is also expected for game time but should dry out as the game goes on. Chris and Scott talk about how illness and injury has ravaged the Huskies to the point where 16 players were listed on Thursday's availability report, compared to four for Purdue. Moving to the Purdue offense versus Washington defense matchup, how are the Huskies going to stop Purdue RB Fame Ijeboi? He's top-6 right now in the Big Ten in rushing and the Huskies have frankly been awful trying to stop the run the last three games. And the Ryan Browne UW saw last year in Seattle is definitely not the same quarterback that is playing lights out for Purdue right now. And how will Ryan Walters deal with the emotions of being back where he was formerly a head coach? After a quick break the talk turns to the other side of the ball. Whether it's Demond Williams or Elijah Brown (it's going to be Brown), how is Jedd Fisch going to generate some run game? Are we going to see more John Mills at tackle? And can Brian Bonner have a similar game to the one he had at USC? Scott offers up some quick recruiting thoughts, including a preview into what UW fans should expect from the coaches as they hit the road next week during Washington's BYE week, and then Chris and Scott offer up their final pregame thoughts.

The Washington Huskies will look to halt a three-game losing streak on Friday night as they head east to take on the Purdue Boilermakers. Oddsmakers have the Huskies as roughly three point underdogs after the Washington took a punishing 41-24 loss at home last week to the Iowa Hawkeyes. Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger join forces to rehash last week, turn their attention to the upcoming tilt with Purdue, and share their thoughts on the rest of the season. One topic of conversation centered around Elijah Brown's impressive performance last week, throwing for over 250 yards and three touchdowns in place of an injured Demond Williams. The two former interns discuss positive takeaways from the Stanford transfer's strong performance and how it changes Washington's outlook for this weekend. Furthermore, Jack and Luke talk about what success would look like the rest of the way for the Washington Huskies. With a few of Washington's preseason ambitions out of grasp, the duo reflects on ways Washington can accumulate momentum heading into the offseason and generate hope for 2027 and beyond.

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke this week with Sean Williams from Boiler Sports Report, the 247Sports' site that covers the Purdue Boilermakers, and Sean was nice enough to help set the scene and give Washington fans a taste of not just what they expect to see from the home team on the field, but also what to expect from the game day atmosphere in West Lafayette, Ind. To start with, the guys talk about flying into Indianapolis and the travel issues Kim has already run into before even flying out from Seattle. Hint: it's involves a rental car. With so many coaching connections between the two teams - Purdue Head Coach Barry Odom gave Washington Defensive Coordinator Ryan Walters his first coordinator job at Missouri and Walter was also head coach for the Boilermakers for two seasons. Odom's brother Brian is Washington's linebackers coach. Sean offers some insight into Walters' time at West Lafayette and why things didn't work out very well for Ryan. What is Purdue's outlook, especially given how they'd played so well the last couple weeks? Is there hope they can get to bowl eligibility? And what is it about the last few weeks where things have really clicked for their team? As far as the play on the field, they start out first with Purdue's offense, including thoughts on QB Ryan Browne and RB Fame Ijeboi. Ijeboi could remind some UW fans of Adam Mohammed. They also talk about Purdue's offensive line and how things there have been a mix and match of players. Switching to the other side of the ball, what is it about Purdue's defense that has evolved and improved over the course of the season? And how does Sean think they'll attack Washington's defense, especially if Elijah Brown plays instead of Demond Williams?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together after Washington's game Friday night against the No. 20 Iowa Hawkeyes and they had plenty to talk about - and hardly any of it was good. The Hawkeyes jumped out to a 27-3 lead and ground the Huskies down to an eventual 41-24 triumph in front of not that many Washington fans. In some ways, it felt like an Iowa home game out west. The Hawkeye fans came out to Seattle and showed up for their team. From the start the offense was once again not right. How much of that was on Jedd Fisch, Demond Williams, the offensive line? The guys talk about all of it, as well as one of the worst rushing efforts in the history of UW Football. By the end of the second quarter, there was a quarterback change as Elijah Brown took over for Williams. What was initially thought to be something where Fisch was looking for a spark looked more pragmatic in nature as Williams was seen going to the locker room before halftime. He would never return to the game. The guys talk about what Brown was able to do in terms of helping the Huskies win the second half, but when the offense finally showed up the defense pretty much no-showed the whole game. We talked about what was arguably the worst tackling performance of the Ryan Walters' era. And in what was the first start ever for Iowa quarterback Jeremy Hecklinski, the Hawkeyes could have put a deck chair and a cooler had all day to do everything he needed to. And most of the time it was just handing it off to Kamari Moulton, who finished with over 200 yards.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - got together Friday to produce their weekly pregame show, and this one against Iowa felt very similar to Washington's pregame show against Minnesota. The Huskies are playing another traditional Big Ten program known for power and toughness, and they're doing it with continued question marks on offense, specifically with quarterback Demond Williams and the run game. But before they tackle that side of the ball, Chris and Scott talked about the main talking point coming out of the Iowa camp this week, the questionable status of quarterback Hank Brown and what that means for backup Jeremy Hecklinski. Unlike Minnesota's Drake Lindsey, Hecklinski has very little college experience. He's never started a game before. Can the Huskies' defense turn Iowa one-dimensional on offense and force Hecklinski to beat them through the air? That could prove tricky as the Hawkeyes have some varied threats to their passing game. Switching over to the other side, Chris and Scott continue the discussion that was left after Washington's four-point loss at USC. The storylines are the same; can Demond Williams simplify his game, take the easy money and stop holding on to the ball for so long? And can the run game continue to evolve now that Brian Bonner has a couple of strong outings under his belt? Landen Hatchett is considered 'probable' heading into the game, so what would his inclusion mean for the Washington offensive line? And will Jedd Fisch continue using John Mills at left tackle instead of freshman Kodi Greene? Much like Minnesota, the Hawkeyes have been very, very good in special teams, especially their return games. Can the Huskies keep them at bay similar to what they were able to do against the Golden Gophers? Either way, the guys are expecting more of a rock fight than a shootout, that's for sure. Scott provides a quick recruiting update before the guys finish up the pregame show with their final thoughts. And for those fans going to the game - GET THERE EARLY! We know how getting around Seattle on a Friday afternoon can be.

Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger are back this week for the latest installment of the Mac and Mounger show! Luke was in Los Angeles to take in the sights and watch Washington's 25-21 loss to USC in person. What was his take on the game? Jack chimes in as the two give their report card from that game and whether or not there were any positives or signs of improvement they could take from the loss, especially with regards to UW quarterback Demond Williams. That leads into their game preview versus Iowa, a game that definitely feels like a must-win if the Huskies want to avoid making difficult work when it comes to bowl eligibility. But they can't avoid the lingering concerns shown so far, especially on the offensive side of the ball. The question Luke poses is; will the Huskies move the chains in their first drive against the Hawkeyes? They then work into their 'Betting B1G' segment and then finish the show with their confidence intervals when looking at the Iowa-Washington game. Are they feeling better than they did a week ago, or will the lingering concerns continue to show up? One thing is for sure; they aren't expecting a lot of offensive fireworks from either team Friday night.

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds is currently in Chicago for Big Ten Basketball Media Days, but that didn't stop him from tracking down David Eickholt of Hawkeye Insider to talk Iowa Hawkeyes Football and the players Washington fans should be aware of when the two teams square off Friday night at Husky Stadium. Iowa's football program is such an anomaly these days, as they've only had two head coaches since 1978. Kirk Ferentz is at Iowa City for his 28th season running the Hawkeyes' program and his defensive coordinator, Phil Parker, is on his 15th season with Iowa. That kind of continuity is simply amazing. Starting with Iowa's offense, David breaks down what has gone well for OC Tim Lester, and what is still a work in progress. He talked about the injury to QB Hank Brown, the odds the Huskies will see their backup QB, Jeremy Hecklinksi, and the movement along their offensive line. Turning to the other side of the ball, David breaks down Iowa's defense, starting with the defensive line, and what they could do to slow down a Washington offense that is already struggling to move the ball and score points. Is it as simple as Parker dialing up pressure after pressure to keep Demond Williams guessing? And how about special teams? If Iowa has to line up to make a kick to win it, how confident are they? And how many Iowa fans are expected to travel to Seattle for the game? To finish the preview podcast, David offers up his keys to the game. Will it be a rock fight or a shootout?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - get into the guts of Washington's brutal 25-21 loss to USC Trojans Saturday evening in Los Angeles. Obviously the guys talk about the key moments in the game, and most of them revolve around Demond Williams. The verdict? It's not very kind to the junior signal-caller. So where has it all gone wrong? Why has he regressed so much? What is the difference in the teachings between Jimmie Dougherty and JP Losman, for example? And why were they so inept on third down to the point where they didn't convert their first one until the middle of the fourth quarter? There were some definite bright spots, from Brian Bonner, to Chris Lawson, to the play of the defense to keep the Huskies in the game. But the penalty bugaboo bit them again, but this time they had company in the Trojans. And it wasn't exactly a stellar day throwing the hankies for the Big Ten officiating crew.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - are back in Seattle while Kim Grinolds makes his way from the beach to the Los Angeles Coliseum, and we've been told he's already sweating up a storm. With temps expected to be in the high 90's at kickoff, hydration and staying hydrated throughout is going to be just one problem of many for the Road Dawgs, who play away from Husky Stadium for the first time this year. Which fan base has their finger on the pulse of their program? Because a thorough sampling of reaction from both USC and Washington message boards finds two fan bases that are not happy campers at the moment. That's why this game feels like an even bigger game than it might have felt a month ago, for example. Starting with the battle between USC's offense and UW's defense, Chris and Scott talk about the players expected to make a difference for both sides. With receiver Corey Simms out and two other young playmakers for the Trojans - receiver Trent Mosely and TE Mark Bowman - questionable, we'll see how much they'll impact what USC tries to do. And how can UW slow down Heisman candidate Jayden Maiava? Moving to the defensive side of the ball, USC fans don't seem convinced by new DC Gary Patterson at all. What is at the heart of their discontent? And will they be without DL Jahkeem Stewart and Alex VanSumeren? And apart from that, what is Washington going to do to solve their own offensive issues? With no running game, how can Demond Williams impact the result? And is there a chance Landen Hatchett could play? Jedd Fisch said on Thursday he is a game-time decision. Chris and Scott also talk about a couple of other factors, namely the youth of the Huskies and how many of them are traveling for the first time in their careers, and also the impact of playing on grass for the first time. We know Lincoln Riley will want the surface in the Coliseum to be tight to allow his speedsters to go as fast as possible. Can UW keep up? To finish the pregame show, Scott gives a recruiting update and then they offer up their final thoughts heading into kickoff.

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke Friday with USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, and both Washington and USC are licking their wounds after losing their conference openers. To start, how much is the weather going to play a factor? It's expected to be in the high 90's in the Los Angeles Coliseum Saturday afternoon. And what to make out of both teams going into this game? Do we really know who they are and what they are about? And with USC, is their head coach, Lincoln Riley, officially on the hot seat? Ryan talks about that and what it might take for Riley to lose his job. Ryan talks about what UW should see on offense, and then they moved to the defensive side of the ball. One thing Riley did do in the offseason was hire former TCU Head Coach Gary Patterson as USC's Defensive Coordinator. How has that gone?

Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger are back for this week's Mac and Mounger Show! Things aren't quite as they hoped for after Washington's 27-24 loss to Minnesota, so they reflect on that, as well as how the season has gone so far for the Huskies as a whole. Then they roll out their confidence intervals for this weekend's game against USC... hint: they aren't feeling super great about it, but also admit the feeling about this game in general is a bit weird because of the Trojans' loss last weekend to Oregon so there is still reason for optimism if you're a Washington fan. And finally they hit on their Bets to Bark, where they predict one Big Ten school to lose their head coach soon, and they also give an under/over call on the UW/USC game. Will it be one where the defenses slow the offenses down, or will it be a repeat of the 52-42 shootout at the Coliseum we all saw back in 2023?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together after Washington's 27-24 loss against the Minnesota Golden Gophers and they had plenty to talk about. It was the first conference game of the season for both teams, but you wouldn't have known it watching the visitors. They were up for the fight and played like it. The home side, on the other hand? They came out about as listless as any game we can remember. Add to it a short-field turnover that led to Minnesota's first touchdown, a huge lack of tackling in the first half, and the Huskies' inability to generate anything offensively until the fourth quarter. That's when Demond Williams and the offense lit up for 14 points, but that was not enough to make up for three quarters of poor play. The fight was there, but the execution in all three phases was decidedly not. And that all added up to a three-point loss that felt worse than a three-score loss. With the Golden Gophers in the rearview and USC coming up, the guys ask this question to end their postgame show; how many conference wins will Washington get?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - had plenty of time this morning to get up, grab their favorite breakfast beverage, peruse the early kickoff shows and then hit the mic to talk about the very last game of the college football weekend; the Minnesota Golden Gophers and the Washington Huskies. With an 8 pm local time start, there are no other games being played later than this one, so time to rest up and check this out on your way to Husky Stadium, because it's going to be a late one. The guys start first with Minnesota's offense, led by quarterback Drake Lindsey and the issues they also face in the run game because of injury. Sound familiar? Lindsey, at 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, is a vastly different quarterback than what Washington has seen so far this year. He's been compared to Drew Bledsoe, so he's got a rifle for an arm. But can the UW pass rush make Lindsey's life difficult? Or can we expect a lot of quick pass game and a steady diet of check-downs? They also talk about this as an Elinneus Davis 'revenge' game. Is he really salty about not being recruited as hard by the in-state school as he was others, including UW? We'll see. The talk then turns to Washington's offensive struggles. Will Jedd Fisch try and involve Demond Williams even more in the run game? And will the receiving corps continue to ramp up their play? They had an excellent game against Eastern Washington, but can they step things up to an even higher level? And what are the Huskies going to do about helping out first-year LT Kodi Greene? Will John Mills see some time outside? Minnesota definitely has some rushers of note, so this will be an important part of the game to watch for if you're a UW fan. Scott provides a quick recruiting update, including a note on top 2028 EDGE Jalanie George and his October 1 commitment date. How are the Huskies doing with George, especially knowing a couple of his teammates have already committed to the Huskies? Chris then adds his two cents in about Minnesota's potent special teams and then the guys offer their final thoughts before ending the pod.

After white-knuckling their way to a 3-0 start, the Washington Huskies kick off Big Ten Conference play this weekend against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger get together to share their thoughts before Saturday evening's showdown. Minnesota enters this game 2-1 on the season, having lost a couple of weeks ago to Kamario Taylor and the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Even so, Minnesota boasts a veteran coach-QB combo, with PJ Fleck entering his 10th season as the head coach of the Gophers and Drake Lindsey garnering NFL Draft Buzz. After recapping Washington's week three win over Eastern Washington, Jack and Luke turn their attention to storylines they are tracking as the Huskies take on their first conference opponent of the season. Among those topics is if Washington's young, yet talented defensive front will succeed in trying to disrupt Lindsey's rhythm in the pocket this weekend. Additionally, the two life-long interns discuss takeaways on Washington's offensive performance so far. This includes Washington's heavy reliance on short and intermediate passes to keep the offense on schedule and how that tactic might fare against steeper competetion. After picking their Bets to Bark, Jack and Luke share their plays for Betting B1G. Each is off to a 3-6 start, so it might be a good idea to ignore this part of the show! Finally, the duo shares their confidence interval that the Huskies can improve to 4-0 on the season.

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke this week with Gopher Gazette's Ryan Burns, who was nice enough to offer his take on this weekend's game in Seattle between Minnesota and Washington Burns is expecting a lot of Minnesota fans in the stands at Husky Stadium, for a number of reasons - chief among them being the other Big Ten road trips in October are to Purdue and Indiana. The guys then talk about the P.J. Fleck tenure and expectations going into the 2026 season for the Golden Gophers, especially trying to turn around their fortunes on the road. Turning to the game itself, the 10 pm central time start is the first things they talk about and the problems that poses for the traveling team. Then they talk about Minnesota's quarterback, Drake Lindsey, and Burns compares him to a Washington State signal-caller from decades gone by. He talks about the style of offense the Golden Gophers want to run and the other skill players that help make it tick. Flipping to the other side of the ball, Burns is very curious to see how first-year UW LT Kodi Greene will hold up against a Minnesota defensive line that possesses a ton of talent but did not show up on the road last season. And how will they be able to limit Demond Williams once a play breaks down? Ryan also talks about some of the factors defensively that should concern the Huskies, especially in the secondary. And they also talk about the 'Elinneus Davis' factor where the Minnesota product can't wait to go up against the in-state school. And apparently Minnesota has four commits from Davis's high school (Moorhead). Finally, the guys talk about their keys to the game, both in scenarios where UW wins and where Minnesota is able to pull off a rare away win. Could special teams end up being the difference?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together after Washington defeated Eastern Washington 48-16 and had plenty to talk about. And again, for as many positives as there were on the night, there were just as many 'teachable moments' as the Huskies racked up over 100 yards in penalties and had two ejections on one play - something you'll probably never see again. How many of those were legit calls? How many of them were borderline? And how many of them just didn't make any sense? Usually against a Big Sky opponent there would be the obligatory plus points and things to watch out for moving toward the Minnesota game week. But given the offense's immense struggles through the first two weeks the guys talked about the positives, starting with Demond Williams and his ability to hang in and lead the offense even after getting rocked early in the second quarter on a pass that ended up getting intercepted. It was the only blemish on a really good night for Williams, as he accounted for over 400 yards of total offense. The guys also wanted to talk about the defense and how they gave up some points in the first half but definitely bowed up in the second half and denied the Eagles twice in the fourth quarter to get the ball back on downs. And there were plenty of first-year players that came in late in the game to get some much-needed experience ahead of Big Ten play.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were able to get up just a little later this morning and get an extra cup of coffee in their systems before breaking down this afternoon's matchup between Washington and Eastern Washington. Normally we wouldn't be that intrigued with a Big Sky matchup, but after the Montana fiasco during the Jimmy Lake days it seems like there's adventure around every corner when the Huskies face an FCS foe. You won't be seeing Vernon Adams or Cooper Kupp coming out of the Husky Stadium visitors 'tunnel' today, but you will see an offense that can put up points and a defense that has shown themselves to surrender an equal amount. Starting with Washington's offensive woes, the guys broke down all the things the Huskies need to improve on that side of the ball, starting with the quarterback, then the running backs, then the offensive line, and finishing with the receivers. After a quick break the talk turned to the other side of the ball, the UW standouts so far on defense and how they guys expect 'Death Row' to handle EWU quarterback Nate Bell and the Eagles' offense. Scott offers up a quick recruiting update and then the guys give their final thoughts. Would they take EWU and the 44 points if offered...? Don't forget, there's also traffic disruptions happening on the east side of Lake Washington affecting 520 coming across the lake and also northbound I-405 between Renton and Bellevue, so plan ahead for your trip to Husky Stadium!

Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger are back with their third podcast of the regular season as the Washington Huskies gear up to take on the Eastern Washington Eagles. While Jedd Fisch's Dawgs are undefeated at 2-0, a 16-14 win over the Utah State Aggies last weekend has fans concerned about a lackluster offensive performance through two games. Considering the flat start offensively, the two lifelong interns decided to change up their approach for this week's episode. Rather than looking forward to Saturday's in-state tilt with a Big Sky foe, Jack and Luke reflect on the first couple games of the season for Washington. Topics discussed include Washington's difficulty running the football, injuries to key skill position players, and young players being asked to step into new roles with little lead time between now and the start of conference play. Additionally, the duo discuss what they would like to see on Saturday from the Huskies to feel confident that Washington is making a step in the right direction offensively. This week, Jack and Luke pick just one "Bet to Bark", putting all of their eggs in one basket in calling their shot for a top performer on Saturday. Still, each picks three betting plays for Big Ten teams this upcoming weekend to keep their Betting B1G segment rolling. You can listen to the latest episode of Mac and Mounger using the audio link below.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together after Washington defeated Utah State 16-14 and had their own vent session instead. As well as the defense played - and they limited Utah State to 75 rush yards and 271 total yards - it was pretty much all talk about Washington's offense and what they couldn't do right. From an overall dearth of execution, to lack of blocking in the run game, to drops in the passing game, to a below average day running the offense for quarterback Demond Williams, and questions about Jedd Fisch's playcalling, there was all sorts of things to hash out. To what lengths is Fisch going to have to go to in order to generate a semblance of a running game from the backs? And where has the confidence gone with the offense as a whole?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - woke up at the crack of dawn and turned their microphones on as the page has officially turned past the Apple Cup and now on to Washington's next opponent, the Utah State Aggies. But before that game preview took place, the guys wanted one last crack at some final thoughts on UW's 24-10 win over Washington State. Moving on, there's plenty of things to look forward to today at Husky Stadium, and most of it has to do with Washington's offense. They finally came alive in the fourth quarter of the Apple Cup, scoring two touchdowns to salt that victory away, but what has to take place today in order for the offense to take the necessary steps to prove game one was simply shaking off the rust? Starting with the offensive line, the guys move through each offensive position group, with a special focus on the Washington running backs, and analyze what needs to be done in order to not just cover the 27.5-point spread, but do it in a way that allows the Huskies to bring in depth pieces in the fourth quarter. After a quick break the chat then moves to the overall Apple Cup game day experience for the fans, and how 'cluster' is pretty much the only way to describe it. From long lines and slow security to get in to long lines and vendors running out of food in the concession stands, there's a LOT that needs to improve from game one to game two. Can UW get the job done? Before the final game thoughts, Scott offers up a lengthy recruiting update because there were so many top-rated recruits from both coasts on hand for the Apple Cup, and he breaks down what he's learned talking to them after their trip to Seattle.

The Washington Huskies secured their first win of the 2026 Football Season by taking down the Washington State Cougars in the 118th Apple Cup. While the Dawgs added a tally to the win column, they struggled to find an offensive rhythm, requiring a late fourth-quarter touchdown to extend their lead to multiple scores before Alex McLaughlin eventually sealed the deal with an interception in the closing minutes. Lifelong interns Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger got together this week to share their grades for the opening game of Washington's third season under Jedd Fisch. Jack and Luke then set their sights to this weekend's tilt against Utah State. The Aggies are coming off a 12-point loss at home to Idaho State last week and will have a tall task getting back on track against a Husky defense that allowed just 242 yards of offense and 10 total points last week against WSU. Dawgman's podcast duo share a couple of storylines each that they're looking forward to seeing unfold on Saturday. A couple of topics from this week include how Washington will manage their offensive backfield - now down three key contributors at running back - as well as Washington's discipline woes after notching 130 penalty yards last weekend. Next, Jack and Luke move onto their Bets to Bark, calling their shot as Washington looks to garner some momentum after a hard-fought Apple Cup win. Both interns started their years 1-2 on Betting B1G and will look to bounce back this week. They will keep tallies on their Betting B1G success throughout the year and are looking to get back on track in Week 2. Finally, Jack and Luke share their confidence interval that Washington will improve to 2-0 on the season.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together after Washington defeated Washington State 24-10 in the 118th Apple Cup to hash everything out; the good, the bad, and ultimately the delicious. And there was plenty to talk about. But the irony there is that most of the time was spent on the things the guys didn't expect to see. They didn't expect to see 12 penalties on UW. How much of it was on them, how much of it was on the way the referees called the game? Then they talked a lot about Demond Williams Jr., his up-and-down day, and how he ultimately was able to make a few key plays when it really mattered to put the win on ice down the stretch. There were also a lot of attaboys to hand out to the defense, as well as punter Hunter Green. And then there was that muff-turned-touchback that you don't see that often... And how much of what happened Sunday is something the guys think they'll see next Saturday when the Huskies host Utah State? Scott also added a quick recruiting update on a day where prospects from coast to coast came to the Greatest Setting in College Football to check everything out.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together for our annual Apple Cup pregame show, but for how much longer will the Apple Cup be around? That's one of the main questions the guys start with as the 118th matchup between Washington State and Washington is about to kick off in a few hours. From a financial point of view, does it make sense for either team anymore? Then the guys get into the guts of the matchup, starting with Washington State's offense against Ryan Walters and the UW D. What should the Huskies expect from a new lineup, new coaches and new schemes? Can UW turn the Cougars one-dimensional on that side of the ball, and will we see a defense that is more aggressive this season, especially at the line of scrimmage? After a quick break the tables are turned and the guys talk about Demond Williams Jr and the Washington offense against a completely-new WSU offense led by former Oregon State Defensive Coordinator Trent Bray. How long will it take for the Cougars to gel on defense? And how big a move in his development has Williams taken from last year to this year? And who is going to help him move the ball at running back, receiver, and tight end? And can the Cougars get after first-year left tackle Kodi Greene and make his college debut one to forget? The guys then talked about a revamped UW specialist corps and how they could impact today's Apple Cup. To finish, Scott gives a brief update on what is expected to be a massive day for UW recruiting as top prospects from a number of states east of the Mississippi will be on hand, and then they give their final thoughts on what Washington needs to do in order to take care of business at their home, the Greatest Setting in College Football.

As the Washington Huskies set their sights on hosting the Washington State Cougars for the 118th Apple Cup, you should tune your ears to Dawgman's lifelong interns, Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger. In this episode, Jack and Luke breakdown their Mount Rushmore of tailgating items as the two envision their reunion in the E12 Parking Lot on Sunday. Any clear omissions from the list? Let us know in the comments below. Then, Jack and Luke share the storylines they're most excited to watch unfold in this season-opening duel between in-state foes. Talking points vary from Washington breaking in a new center against an improved WSU defensive front, UW's depth on the defensive side of the ball, playmakers to emerge at offensive skill positions, and more. Next, the interns go back to the "Bets to Bark" segment. Let us know your Bets to Bark in the comments. Betting B1G treated Luke nicely last year. Jack... not so much. Nevertheless, the podcasting partners share their three favorite plays for Big Ten teams for Week 1 of the College Football season. Jack even throws in a bonus Big 12 play.

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke this week with Cougfan.com's main beat writer covering Washington State football, Jamey Vinnick. Vinnick was gracious with his time talking about what he's seen in person from very much a new-look WSU football program from the top down. First, how has new head coach Kirby Moore settled in to the job at WSU? What makes him ideally suited for success on the Palouse? What is their style of offense? How much will Moore take from the coaches he's been connected with, like former UW Head Coaches Chris Petersen and Kalen DeBoer? Vinnick also broke down the quarterback battle and what Caden Pinnick did to win it, as well as talking about the players Pinnick will rely on to help move the ball and the linemen up front the Huskies will face. Moving to the defense, what has Vinnick seen from new DC Trent Bray and what style of defense will the Huskies square up against? Who are the key players the Cougars will be counting on to try and limit Demond Williams and the Huskies' offense? And lastly, Vinnick breaks down WSU's special teams and how confident would they be with their specialists when it came time to win the Apple Cup late? And what are a couple of keys for him from the Crimson and Gray perspective to determine the outcome of the game?

It's just one guy from Dawgman.com today - Chris Fetters - and he was on hand to watch Washington's final practice of fall camp. It was roughly two hours long and covered a lot of the same ground the last few practices have. He gave a quick practice recap on some of the things he saw of note, and then went into a segment inspired by the Mac and Mounger show. Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger put out their position rankings from 11-1 during their Friday morning preseason podcast, and Chris decided to follow suit. And with no one else there to argue with him, they have to be taken as the gospel. But listen to what Jack and Luke said, and then compare them to Chris's position-by-position rankings and see who you line up with.

For the final part of Fall Camp, Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger get together to drop a Mac and Mounger podcast. The former interns share their positional power rankings for the Washington Husky football team that is slated to take the field for the 2026 season on Sunday, September 6th against the Washington State Cougars. After each shares their list and defends their stance, the duo moves onto Betting B1G, making three win-total bet plays for Big Ten Conference teams before they begin their 2026 season. Finally, reprising the Confidence Interval segment, Jack and Luke share how likely they believe it is for Washington to exceed their Vegas-projected win total of 7.5 games.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - watched Thursday's practice and then had a chance to offer up their thoughts on what they saw and how the Washington Huskies are shaping up heading into game week. We're 10 days away from the Huskies taking on cross-state rivals Washington State in the Apple Cup, and right now the guys got to see a team that is in the final phases of getting the foundation laid before game week hits. And that means detail to game situations, substitutions, specific special teams moments, etc... that are all the final pieces to the overall puzzle the Huskies are trying to solve. Depth charts are emerging on both sides of the ball, the team has stayed pretty healthy all things considered, and now it's getting very close to playing some football against someone else. Kim and Chris talked about those depth charts, who has solidified spots in their minds, and who could surprise ahead of UW's unveiling of their own official two-deeps early next week. They also talk about the benefits of playing the game on Sunday, how they'll have a national audience all to themselves and will also be able to showcase the best of UW Football and the University of Washington to a ton of regional recruits on what is expected to be a beautiful Seattle Sunday.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - spoke after a two-hour Wednesday workout inside Husky Stadium that saw the Washington Huskies go through a number of team periods at thud tempo, as well as a few periods where the first team offense and defense were getting scout team looks, much like they would during a normal game week. Kim feels like starting quarterback Demond Williams is head and shoulders better than a year ago, while Chris is looking forward to seeing how Demond processes things and executes once he's playing a defense that doesn't wear Purple and Gold. On defense, there were a couple of linebackers limited or out, so we got to see a big dose of both MIKs, Taariq Al-Uqdah and Jacob Manu. Is that a combination we could see more of during the season, depending on down and distance and game situation? And one EDGE Chris was asked about this week stepped up with a big Wednesday practice... could it mean the beginning of Logan George and his ascent up the EDGE depth chart? And before they give their final thoughts - which includes some talk on the celebrations for the 2016 team planned during Apple Cup week, as well as the seven captains named ahead of the 2026 season (Williams, John Mills, Landen Hatchett, Drew Azzopardi, Elinneus Davis, Manu, and Alex McLaughlin) - Kim and Chris have differing opinions on which right guard will end up with the most snaps in 2026; Geirean Hatchett or Champ Taulealea?

The Huskies took the field in the Dempsey Indoor facility on Tuesday as they continued preparations for the 118th Apple Cup vs. Washington State as they will host their cross-state rivals on Sunday, September 6th, the day before Labor Day. It was a spirited two-and-a-half-hour practice that saw a handful of team periods and several players who were either out or limited previously participating in practice. Dawgman's Scott Eklund and Kim Grinolds were on hand and shared there thoughts starting with which players were back and participating fully, including cornebacker Dylan Robinson, linebacker Jacob Manu and defensive lineman Kai McClendon. They also discussed some of the big plays that took place, from Taariq Al-Uqdah's diving interception to some big plays that were turned in by the wideouts and tailbacks. Eklund and Grinolds also discussed the recent announcement by pretty much every major FBS conference, including the Big Ten and SEC, that they will not accept players who were on pro teams and in training camps who wish to re-enroll and play college football.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together and talked about the nearly 90-play public scrimmage that took place Saturday night at Husky Stadium. It was billed as a 'mock game' for the fans and definitely shorter than the guys anticipated in terms of total plays and there was a lot of situational work and special teams on display, but it wasn't exactly the easiest practice to follow because of what they were trying to get accomplished. In short, the ball moved around all over the place and didn't share much in common with the previous play in terms of down and distance. That said, they saw some strong performances on both sides of the ball, starting with Demond Williams on offense and Jacob Lane and Ramzak Fruean on defense. Williams unofficially threw for well over 200 yards on 15-18 passing and two touchdowns - one to Christian Moss and one to Baron Naone. First-year quarterback Derek Zammit threw the only other touchdown of the night, an 11-yard strike to first-year walk-on receiver Asa Thompson. With Jedd Fisch saying post-practice that all the players that have been previously held out of competitive situations will be fully ready to go starting Sunday, the guys talked about the depth at both quarterback and running back and how those rooms look right now. They also gave their props to the defensive effort on display, especially at the line of scrimmage and with Ksani Jiles' 40-yard pick six off Treston Kini McMillan. After 14 practices, the real preparations start toward Washington State tomorrow. The guys talked about the media schedule ahead, the practices they will be covering and what to look forward to as the Huskies get closer and closer to game week.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - were on hand for a shortened Washington practice, one we anticipated because the Huskies are going to be playing a lot Saturday night during their Mock Game. The mock game, which starts at 6:30 pm inside Husky Stadium, will be the last chance UW fans will get to watch the team in person before they line up for their season opener against Washington State on Sunday, Sept. 6. And remember, the Fan Fest starts at 4:30, so bring your family! We're not sure whether or not the players and coaches will be there to sign autographs and take pictures before the game or after that game - we've heard both - so be there just to make sure. And the traffic, with 405 closures and the Mariners game too - isn't going to be great, so plan ahead. What did Kim and Chris see during Friday's workout? Basically what they thought they would, including a lot of clean up work and periods dedicated strictly to special teams. But there were definitely some other things of note to talk about, including the effect of the NCAA's successful appeal and what that meant for Grady Gross and Ta'ita'i Uiagalelei. The story for those two is far from over. And there was a great sequence at the very end of practice involving Defensive Line Quality Control Coach Korey Rush, Darin Conley, and a reward handed out by Jedd Fisch. You'll have to listen in to get the full story, but it's a good one!

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were at Thursday's practice number 12 for the Washington Huskies, and there was a lot to talk about on both sides of the ball there. With many of their starters being wrapped in cotton wool in the meantime, that gave a lot of other players opportunities to step up, and they did. And interestingly enough, Scott thought the offense got the better of the defense while Chris thought it was the other way around. Why? Starting with the offense, the guys talked through the players that stood out to them, what their pecking order might look like heading into game one against Washington State on Sept 6, and then moved to the defense to talk about the players that impressed them on that side of the ball. And this is the last time the three will see the Huskies practice together before Saturday's Mock Game; what are they expecting on Saturday? And almost as important - who are they expecting to see play on Saturday night?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - had things to say about day 11 of Washington's fall camp practice, one that looked like it was going to be a carbon copy of Tuesday's workout on the east field, but then the team ran into Husky Stadium and that's when things got interesting. The music got cranked, they inserted a ton of crowd noise as well, and it became a Tylenol Special. If it was done to induce headaches for all the players, it worked. The competitive periods were geared a little bit toward the offense in terms of where they started their drives on the field and also due to the fact that they were playing at 'thud' tempo, meaning just short of full speed without contact taking ballcarriers to the ground. Before talking about the offensive players that stood out, Kim and Chris gave their thoughts on Washington's newest roster inclusion, former placekicker Grady Gross. The same Colorado-based court decision that allowed DL Ta'ita'i Uiagalelei to return to Montlake also gave Gross an opportunity to come back and kick for the Purple and Gold. But what does that mean for Tyler Robles? What does it mean in terms of who will kick the ball off now for the Huskies? After that, it was all about the final competitive team periods, which went roughly 80 plays. Who stood out, especially at receiver? Who participated that hadn't up to that point? Who stayed out of the periods? The guys talk about all of those things, and more. They also preview the upcoming practices and which ones the fans should see ahead of Saturday night's Mock Game inside Husky Stadium.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - dissect what they saw on day 10 of UW fall training camp, and also what needs to happen for certain players that have been held out and what they need to do to show that they're ready to go. You're starting to get to that stage in camp where coaches are going to have to start making decisions. Special Teams Coordinator Chris Petrilli said by the end of the week he'll have a much better idea of who they will be targeting as their returners. The same thing will be happening on both sides of the ball. Kim and Chris go through the positions, starting first on the offensive side of the ball and then the defense, talking about the players that have emerged, the players that have been held out, and where the position battles need to be joined before the Huskies really get after their Apple Cup preparations starting next week.

The Mac and Mounger Show brought a guest to this week's episode, inviting the expertise of Dawgman's very own Scott Eklund. The mission for this episode was simple, yet challenging: draft the best team possible using the current Washington Husky Football roster. The trio picked their teams using a snake draft format. Each individual had to draft one running back, one receiver, one tight end, two offensive linemen, and a flex player on the offensive side of the ball. For defense, team's were filled out with one defensive tackle, one edge player, one linebacker, one cornerback, one safety, and a defensive flex player. Is the best strategy to take the best player available? Or should one target a position of limited depth to make sure their advantage at that spot is substantial? Listen along as Jack, Luke, and Scott think through these questions live, justify their answers, and fill out their rosters. Also, let us know in the comments who you think drafted the best team of the group.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - gathered around the microphone Saturday night after Washington's 125-play scrimmage to talk about the things they loved and the things that need work. And there was plenty to talk about on both scores. To start the podcast, the guys went down the list of the players that did not participate in the scrimmage. Every player, minus CJ Christian and Jordan Washington , suited up and went through the pre-scrimmage warmup, but then that's when a number of them went to the east field to do individual workouts and conditioning drills. But when it came to the players that did stand out, there were a number on both sides of the ball. We started on the offensive side, and then moved over to the defense. We also got to see the punters for an extended period, and also got to see Tyler Robles go 2-3 on field goal attempts on the night. Near the end of the podcast, the guys talked about safety Rylon Dillard-Allen, the play that resulted in him getting bounced from a live period and then what UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch said about RDA after practice. It was pretty interesting stuff. They finish the scrimmage recap with some final thoughts, some things that maybe didn't go that well to balance out all the positives that took place Saturday night, and then what the fall camp schedule looks like for next week. And after next Saturday's Mock Game, the media will not be allowed to watch practice.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - sat through day seven of fall training camp, which ended up being part clean up work, part special teams focus, and more competitive work as the Washington players honed in on their first big scrimmage of fall, set to start at 5:45 pm Saturday night inside Husky Stadium. But before the scrimmage, the guys talked about what they saw, who was back in the mix as far as the cleanup work was concerned, who was still held out for more conditioning, and everything else the team did before practice finished roughly 150 minutes after it started. Scott offered up a quick recruiting update, including how having the Apple Cup on a Sunday is going to help UW bring in a lot of visitors for that particular game. To finish up the podcast, the guys talked about what they expect to see from Saturday's first big scrimmage.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - were on hand Thursday for day six of Washington's fall training camp, and we're at the point now in camp where the days start to bleed into one another and you not only lose track of what day of fall camp it is, but also what day of the week it is. The easiest way to remember is that we're just two days away from Washington's first big scrimmage of fall, which will take place Saturday night (5:45 pm) inside Husky Stadium. Hopefully a ton of UW fans will be able to make it. Today's practice was very much in service of that upcoming scrimmage. There was more competitive periods inside Husky Stadium, and we got to see the first 'live' snaps taken by the Huskies so far this fall, meaning defenders could take the ballcarriers to the ground. Kim and Chris talked about the players that weren't able to participate in those team periods, some that were finally let off the leash a little bit, and others that stepped up to the challenge and made plays. On offense, Kim thought Christian Moss was his standout player, while Justice Williams made the play of the day. Chris thought Gavin Day was the standout player for a goal-line interception and fumble recovery. And finally they wrapped up the practice review with an appreciation of transfer kicker Tyler Robles. The former Texas State star went 8-8 on his kicks to finish practice, including the last two 'fire drill' kicks where the whole kicking unit had to rush from the sidelines, get in formation and quickly kick the ball because they were unable to stop the clock. They went 2-2 during the 'fire drill' kicks.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - were on hand for Washington's fifth practice of fall training camp, and it was the longest of camp by far. At right around 150 minutes, it allowed the team to get a ton of position and install work in, as well as the most team periods they've seen so far. And they moved the last couple team periods into Husky Stadium so the fans on hand could watch them compete in the Greatest Setting in College Football. Kim and Chris started out setting the scene. It was a gorgeous day on Montlake, perfect for a football practice. And the second biggest storyline of the day other than the length of practice was the fact that it wasn't the defense that ruled the day. If anything, it felt like the offense got as many shots on the defense as the other way around. To be fair, the team periods were designed mostly around the red zone or just outside the red zone (drives starting at the 25-yard line going in), and the defense certainly didn't act as a sieve. But when quarterback Demond Williams needed a play to be made down the field, he went to Dezmen Roebuck. The second-year receiver has easily become Demond's go-to guy, but Kim and Chris talked about a couple of other receivers that definitely stepped up their play on Tuesday. And a couple of the other quarterbacks also had strong days throwing the ball, and not just inside Husky Stadium. Now it feels like the questions that surrounded the team going into fall camp have gone from, how are they filling certain positions to, how good is this team going to look like when all their key pieces return to full health? When it came to the team periods, there were a number of players that practiced that weren't used; Jayden Limar, Trey Cooley, Geirean Hatchett, Landen Hatchett, Isaiah Ward, Paul Mencke, and Dylan Robinson. What is it going to look like when those players come back and the battle is fully joined?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - offered up their thoughts after day four of fall camp on the shores of Lake Washington, a day that started out a little overcast at first but then the sun burst through by the end of the two-hour practice. And just like the weather, the Huskies' intensity continued to ramp up during their team periods. Ramping things up seemed to be the theme of the day as both the offense and defense saw players come back into view and others made their presence known. Starting with the offensive line, they talked about Kolt Dieterich working exclusively at center and how that is having a ripple effect with both the Hatchett brothers - Geirean and Landen - out of the main competitive periods. It was good to see both of them getting some mental reps and taking more of a part in practice than before, and we fully expect their involvement to grow and grow as the week progresses. Dylan Robinson wasn't available for the team periods, but that gave more time to the other, younger corners. Players like Kayden Greene, Elias Johnson, and Jeron Jones. Elijah Durr was doing a little double duty today as he got in his work at corner and also caught some punts. Today was the first day we got to see some legit punting and return work, so the guys talked about what they saw out of Hunter Green and Luke Dunne. When the Huskies did have their team periods, they were mostly done in the red zone. Kim and Chris talked about who stood out on both sides of the ball during these periods, starting with safety Alex McLaughlin, who had two interceptions on the day, both against Demond Williams on passes intended for Rashid Williams.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together after a very busy day three of UW fall camp, one that saw the re-introduction of a familiar face along the Washington defensive line, and also the first time the Huskies took part in some competitive periods. The arrival of Ta'ita'i Uiagalelei to practice today was a most welcome one. The fifth-year defensive lineman is taking part because of the Colorado ruling allowing those players from 2022 that were grandfathered in to the five-for-five years of eligibility initially granted by the NCAA. While the NCAA is appealing the ruling from the Colorado court, it's assumed those eligible under that ruling would participate and play as long as they can until told otherwise. Uiagalelei still has a long ways to go in terms of getting up to speed because of all the time he missed preparing for the NFL Draft and life as a pro, but he already knows so much of what Ryan Walters and Jason Kaufusi expect that it shouldn't take him too long to get up to speed. When the competitive periods hit, it was clear which side of the ball was ready to go and which side is still feeling things out. Whether it was a stunning pick by freshman Jeron Jones in the corner of the end zone, a pick by another freshman - Ramzak Fruean - that he would have taken to the house, or just their play overall... the defense was heads and tails above the offense right now. With the exception of one receiver that came out and scored a couple touchdowns today in those same team periods. It's what we expected to see out of Christian Moss during spring ball before injury put him on the shelf. But he looks fully back and set to not just compete, but to win a starting job. At least one of the Dawgman guys thinks you can put the starting three receivers in ink; Dezmen Roebuck, Rashid Williams, and Christian Moss. They also discuss who the next three receiver would be after that. And Ryan Walters is going to have his hands full trying to figure out which linebackers he has to keep off the field. And could some of those linebackers end up actually working their way into some extra time in the slot just outside the box? One thing is for sure; with so many experienced players coming back, as well as athletic talent, Walters is going to have a lot of tough decisions to make moving forward.

The people have been asking, so we delivered! Luke Mounger and Jack McCauley are back for year eight of the Mac and Mounger Show, talking all things Washington Football. The podcast started with the discrepancies between the weights listed for certain players and what the coaches said they actually are. But instead of talking about that, Luke wanted to know how Jack would want his height and weight to be if he was on the roster. Then they get to the heart of the pod, which is their thoughts of UW Football starting back up, things they're excited about and players they want to know more about as things move closer and closer to the September 6 opener versus Washington State. For Jack, he's looking forward to hearing more about certain position groups, like the linebackers and how that room is going to sort itself out with so much returning experience and talent, or the running backs and defensive line. He's also curious about how the receiver room is going to shake out, especially the starters behind Dezmen Roebuck. For Luke, he's also interested in the receiver room and how some of the true freshmen that stood out in spring will continue to make their mark. Could they be from game one? Kodi Greene and Derek Colman-Brusa were inserted into the first team from the first rep of spring football. Will they continue to hold down those spots? Both Luke and Jack have their favorites. Jack is curious how Demond Williams is going to react without Jonah Coleman and Denzel Boston around as reliable pieces that helped him distribute the ball. Luke is curious to see how the team as a whole will react to being in Jedd Fisch's system for three years. With so much coaching continuity as well as scheme and style of play, will the Huskies make as big a jump from year two to three as they did from year one to two? The guys finish up the podcast with their expectations for some second-year players - players like RB Quaid Carr and safety Rylon Dillard-Allen.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Scott Eklund - had the job today of recapping what took place during day two of Washington's fall training camp, and probably the easiest summation would be this; the same as day one. There was a lot of work on position drills, as well as special teams drills. Kim and Scott talked at length about players that stood out to them on both sides of the ball. There was an emphasis on the secondary, including some thoughts on true frosh Jeron Jones and Rahsjon Duncan and also their early takes on a depth chart back there. After a quick ad break they talked about a new Husky that will definitely have better days than he had today. Freshman offensive lineman Ah Deong Yang was on the sidelines all practice today doing conditioning after going down with cramps yesterday. He was getting a lot of encouragement from his teammates and the other strength and conditioning coaches and trainers, but we're sure he's also going to catch his share of grief as well once he makes it back to the locker room. Consider it his 'welcome to college football' moment. And near the end of the podcast, Kim asked Scott, of all the players on the team, who would he choose if guaranteed 10 percent of their future pro earnings?
