Williams, Azzopardi assess the State of the Huskies' offense going into the 118th Apple Cup
- Washington is preparing for Washington State's new defense by combining Trent Bray's Oregon State scheme tape with current Cougar personnel cutups, using the extended lead-in to account for Week 1 uncertainty.
- Demond Williams has emphasized pocket reads, checkdowns and progressions while studying avoidable sacks and running decisions from last season to reduce hits and preserve his health through Big Ten play.
- With longtime center Landen Hatchett unavailable for the Apple Cup, converted tackle Kolt Dieterich will make his first start at center after missing spring work with a shoulder injury, with Jake Flores and Geirean Hatchett available behind him.
- Decker DeGraaf and Baron Naone share an OR designation at tight end, with both trusted as vertical receivers and blockers despite DeGraaf holding the experience advantage.
- Justice Williams positioned himself for a larger receiver role during fall camp, while Chris Lawson is the first receiver off the bench and can cover all three spots in Jedd Fisch's offense.
