- Pick/market: The numbers are fair because that's what we've shown.

- Pick/market: Did watch the 68-69 and 74 teams.

- Pick/market: Those are the numbers right now.

- Pick/market: Malik Washington evades a sack and threads the needle to Na'eem Abdul-Rahim Gladding for a critical first down.

- Washington's Demond Williams completed 27 of 33 passes for 373 yards and four touchdowns in the 48-16 win over Eastern Washington. The Huskies scored on five of their first six possessions and averaged 8.8 yards per play, versus 4.2 allowed. That is the final-game production, not a projection for the Minnesota matchup. - Dezmen Roebuck caught nine passes for 121 yards for Washington, while tight end Baron Naone gained 103 yards on only two catches. Freshman receivers Jordan Clay and Trez Davis each scored their first touchdowns, and freshman back Brian Bonner added 81 yards on six carries. These are game contributions, not an announced change in the receiver or running-back order. - Washington safety Alex McLaughlin recorded seven tackles and forced a fumble that stopped an Eastern Washington scoring drive. Linebacker Jacob Manu led with eight tackles and a sack; Zaydrius Rainey-Sale added six tackles and a key tackle for loss, while safety Rylon Dillard-Allen had four tackles and a sack. The report credits individual defensive production without announcing alignment changes. - Washington kicker Tyler Robles made field goals from 25 and 32 yards. Grady Gross replaced Hunter McKee on kickoffs and produced four touchbacks in six attempts, with the writer describing McKee as relatively ineffective. This records the in-game kicking usage, not a confirmed permanent reassignment. - Washington committed eight penalties for 101 yards against Eastern Washington. The writer identified discipline as a concern entering conference play against Minnesota, despite the 48-16 win. No specific new penalty-management practice or lineup change was announced.

- Injury: Hau'oli might very well be my favorite Husky football player of all-time, and perhaps his injury-damaged pro career lands him in the world of being "underrated," but he IS one of just FIVE players...

- Injury: If Hatchett is indeed back this week, how good of football strength, game shape etc.

- Injury: We will find out soon if Fisch's play calls were Vanilla due to the general injury situation and O-Line inexperience.

- Injury: Conference play is starting and you have to adjust to the talent that’s available.

- Injury: We are a really young team and it's going to take a little experience to get them up to speed.

- Injury: Growing up in Spokane it was always clear that the inland northwest was “cougar country”.

- Injury: Today Cooley completely messed up on the pass protection scheme and allowed a blitzing safety to hammer DW and cause an INT deep in the red zone.

- QB/OL: I agree he's been the weakest of the bunch, especially Pass Pro.

- QB/OL: In my opinion, two of the greatest joys in watching college football is seeing a local product succeed at their home school and watching young players make the jump to college football seamlessly.

- QB/OL: Our team isn’t just who we play 12 or more times a year.

- QB/LB: No one is suggesting trying to win throwing 2/3 of the time is sustainable.

- QB/OL: When the Oline has all of it's pieces working well together maybe more running plays will be called that actually work.

- LB: Finau seems like a great lady, and I'll always root for Paki to have success in his life and career; seem like a wonderful family and him a good kid.

- Ahead of Minnesota in 2026, Jedd Fisch says Washington center Landen Hatchett practiced more on Wednesday than at any earlier point this year, but remains a game-time decision. Fisch says the returning center has not played yet despite an initial Week 1 expectation. Increased practice participation is not confirmation that he will return or start Saturday. - For Washington's 2026 Minnesota game, Fisch expects at least one of Rahshawn Clark and Emmanuel Karnley to be available. Elias Johnson is expected to contribute, with Ramonz Adams another secondary option if needed. Fisch does not disclose whether Jaron Jones or the alternatives will play inside or outside, so no new cornerback or nickel assignment is confirmed. - Washington's Elinneus Davis is back after missing a couple of weeks, and Fisch describes Kai McLendon as healthy entering Minnesota in 2026. He expects DeSean Watts to play only if rehabilitation stays on track through Thursday. The interior defensive-line update adds available options but does not supply a confirmed Watts clearance or a snap allocation. - In Washington's 2026 Minnesota-week presser, Fisch says Champ Taulealea and Geirean Hatchett have rotated starting on a young offensive line that has used a first-time center and a true freshman left tackle. He stresses accounting for Anthony Smith and Minnesota's gap-attacking linebackers. This describes the existing rotation and preparation, not a newly announced starter or blocking scheme. - Fisch describes Washington's Brian Bonner and Trey Cooley as a 50-50 running-back split based on practice entering Minnesota in 2026, rather than declaring Bonner the clear lead option. He says one explosive 50-yard run can distort the comparison and expects both backs to get substantial reps. That assessment is not a guarantee of identical carries in the game.

- OL: Interesting alignment there with Murphy standing up over the center and Williams to his right and then beating a double team to get the sack.

- The Sept. 25 Minnesota preview reports Washington backs Quaid Carr and Jayden Limar sidelined by injuries entering the matchup and describes freshman Brian Bonner Jr. as the current lead back. It does not supply diagnoses, return dates or an official long-term depth-chart decision; QB Demond Williams led the Huskies with 24 carries for 162 yards through three games. - Through three 2026 games, Washington QB Demond Williams had faced a preview-cited 41 pressures but taken only three sacks while leading Big Ten quarterbacks in scrambles. The writer says Washington was averaging more than 42 Williams dropbacks per game. Those observations describe his early usage and escape ability, not a disclosed Minnesota-game play call. - Washington slot receiver Dezmen Roebuck had 30 targets and 23 catches through three 2026 games, more than twice the receptions of any other Huskies pass catcher, according to the Minnesota preview. The article places 73% of his routes in the slot and lists a 3.7-yard average depth of target; these are observed usage rates, not a guaranteed future target share.

- LB: It's amazing what a dynamic running game will add to your passing game!

- RB/WR: Other than Dez, I think they under played the WR room a touch.

- OL/DL: It's been a bit of a slog, and that's been a big problem for Michael Switzer.

- RB/LB: Well they played so vanilla they almost lost lol, but maybe Fisch got into a short term funk with the play calling.

- OL/LB: I wasn't that impressed with his play when he was healthy.

- OL: John Mills moves out to left tackle, with Geirean Hatchett at left guard.

- Intel: A smooth opening drive for the Huskies, who go 74 yards in 8 plays, capped by Chris Lawson's 15-yard TD on a receiver screen.

- DB: Blessings on your family for peace and comfort and assurance.

- Freshman interior lineman Derek Colman-Brusa started each of Washington's first three 2026 games. The article cites a 72.7 PFF defensive grade, fifth-highest among Huskies defenders. That documents his early role and performance, not a coach-confirmed future snap share. - Through those three games, Washington's Colman-Brusa has five run stops, seven tackles including two for loss, his first sack against Utah State and five pressures, most among its interior linemen. The reported production does not establish a new assignment or guarantee similar results against Minnesota.

- DL: They wouldn't put him out there if they didn't think he could get the job done ...

- LB: As I sit here in my creaky home office chair, admitting I really have no idea how UW’s finances work, I present this theory: If Washington wants to succeed in the long term, it...

- Intel: The elite football schools have some fans who complain and whine a lot also, I am sure.

- Intel: Worth remembering that these guys aren't UW rejects - they signed elsewhere of their own volition and IMHO against better judgement, lol.

- Intel: Having moved to Lafayette this year im already burnt out with late starts.

- Practice: Underrated for the laughs he brings to our community as a former player, not what he did on the practice field.

- Intel: Mods, can you please move this post to the football board

- LB: For you old heads out there like me, Gary Smith was the gold standard in sports journalism longform writing.

- Intel: Was told by multiple people he didn’t want to be here anymore and didn’t even listen to an offer… same with Paki Finau.

- LB: The football program generates around 80% of the athletic departments $200+ million in revenue so about 10% of football revenue is going directly to the players as payment.

- Intel: The football program generates approximately 80% of the athletic departments $200M + in annual revenue so the football players don't need WA taxpayers.

- LB: It's been pointed out by people in the know that donating directly to the athletic department and specifying "football" and "NIL" will accomplish the same thing that MF did.

- Intel: Here's the thing: most of the people who leave the program via the portal are missed, from a personnel standpoint (i.e., nothing personal).
