    DawgmanRadio: Where does Washington go from here after 35-6 loss at Penn State?

    The guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters - do their best to break down the key moments in Washington's 35-6 loss at Penn State Saturday night, and one of the biggest moments happened during the Nittany Lions' first drive of the game. After going the length of the field only to get denied by the right upright, the Huskies then lost one of their top defenders in cornerback Thaddeus Dixon to a targeting call. In our opinion it was the play of the game because it set the tone for UW's defense the rest of the way, it also took a key player out of the Huskies' arsenal, forcing them to go to their already thin bench. After a break, the guy broke down their thoughts on arguably the biggest move of the game from Washington's standpoint - the move to Demond Williams and away from Will Rogers at quarterback. Jedd Fisch wanted to give the opportunity to the true freshman, but also understood that the Huskies needed something that Rogers wasn't able to give them. In the first half Washington totaled 71 yards of offense, 50 through the air. UW came up with 122 yards of total offense in the second half, as well as six points. But Scott and Chris also discuss why this game was pretty much a loss from the start. The first two drives told the story of how Washington has struggled to finish drives and keep teams out of the end zone, and it didn't get any better as the game wore on.

    The Dawgman Husky Hoops Pod is back to preview UC Davis and Nevada

    The Guys from the Dawgman Husky Hoops Pod, Jack McCauley, Noah Dickerson, and Jason Crandall, are back with another episode before The Danny Sprinkle era on Montlake tips off. Jack leads things off by getting a pulse from Jason and Noah on how the scrimmage vs Western Oregon and went and if there are any inclinations that what was shown last Tuesday, we can see throughout the season. After talking about the scrimmage, especially how they thought guys like Zoom Diallo, DJ Davis, and Great Osobor played, they transitioned to talking about a UC Davis team who's had back to back 20 win seasons. Noah and Jason talk about if there's any first game jitters for guys. Then Jack steers the conversation towards the Nevada game this weekend and why this is not only a critical matchup for the Huskies early on, but could look great come end of the season. After diving into their roster, Noah tells some stories on why it's tough to play at elevation as well as the importance of getting off to a good start on a road trip. Jason and Noah also share some of their memories as roommates together on the team. The guys then wrap up the pod with some "x" factors on who they think needs to have a good week in order for Washington to start 2-0 this season.

    DawgmanRadio: Figuring out how UW won the 'Battle of Who Could Get Out of Their Own Way' over USC

    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - talked post-game about the fact that Washington was able to defeat USC 26-21 after losing all the momentum they built up at halftime. How did they do it? How did they build a 20-7 lead going into intermission, give up 14 points to lose that lead, and then come back late and not only get the score to put them back ahead, but also had two red-zone stops by their defense - including one goal-line stand - to preserve their win and get them just one game closer to bowl eligibility? In short, it wasn't easy. But the home team used some timely USC turnovers and they also bowed up after it looked like Trojans Head Coach Lincoln Riley had finally gotten out of his own way and decided to use the run game to their advantage. He must have looked at Indiana Head Coach Curt Cignetti and his decision to ram the ball down UW's throat in the second half of their win over the Huskies and said hey! We can do that too. And at the same time, the Huskies went away from what gave them success in the first half, running for only 12 yards in the third quarter. And this was done despite some horrific special teams play that basically handed the Trojans their first two offensive possessions in UW territory.  The guys talk about the ups and downs of the game, with UW jumping out to that 13-point halftime edge, how the Huskies lost their lead coming out of the locker room, and how they were able to get the lead back and keep it, including amazing defensive plays by Carson Bruener, Khmori House, and Lance Holtzclaw. Kim also offered up some of the key stats in the game, like USC QB Miller Moss's three interceptions, Jonah Coleman going for a season-high in carries with 23, and Washington losing the total offense edge for the first time all season. To finish up the podcast, Scott offers up a quick recruiting update and we also talk about the importance of the win over USC with two extremely daunting road games on the horizon, including next week at Penn State for their annual 'White Out' game.

    DawgmanRadio: Our USC Pregame show!

    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - did not hit the snooze bar early this morning. In fact, it was just the opposite. They got up with the roosters because today's game between USC and Washington couldn't be more important for the Huskies. And that's a strange feeling for a game that historically would have so much more going for it. But this is the first time since 1998 that neither the Trojans or Huskies are ranked going into this game. But it's always an important game when UW and USC get together, and Washington's push to get to bowl eligibility is arguably the biggest reason why it's so important this season. Hopefully the USC fans traveling up from California brought their rain ponchos with them, because today's forecast is for rain and then some more rain. How is that going to affect the away team? And then the guys go into some of the reasons they think - from afar - the Trojans are struggling under Lincoln Riley. Then there's some injury talk on both sides, but specifically about Jedd Fisch announcing Thursday that EDGE Zach Durfee and TE Quentin Moore won't be ready to go today. With Durfee being out, how is Washington going to generate a pass rush that frankly has been anemic their last two games? After a quick break the guys go into some of the game matchups and key players, starting first with USC's offense versus Washington's defense, and then they flip it. And then there's the ever-crucial special teams aspect, one that has not been good for Washington all season long. If it comes down to a made kick or a big return to get an edge in a tightly contested game in bad weather? That edge doesn't feel like it's going to go the way of the home team, if history is a guide. The guys also revisit the debate about Demond Williams. Could UW fans see Demond starting a game before the end of the season? Scott offers a compelling argument in favor of this. Scott also drills down with a complete recruiting update, with a focus on all the prospects from the 2025, 2026, and 2027 classes that are expected on Montlake today. The pregame show wraps up with the guys' final thoughts on the game, as well as some quick UW Hoops updates. The Washington men start their season Tuesday against UC Davis, and on Friday it was announced that Kelsey Plum's No. 10 jersey will be officially retired in a ceremony on January 18th when the UW women host Purdue.

    DawgmanRadio: The Interns' USC game preview!

    The Dawgman interns - Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger - are back to dissect Washington's weekend opponent, and this week it's the USC Trojans. After their loss at Indiana, the Huskies are back to the drawing board to try and figure out a way to get past their current losing streak. And usually when the USC Trojans come into town, that would a recipe for another loss. But these aren't your mother's Trojans. Under Lincoln Riley, they've been downright average the last season-and-a-half. Both Jack and Luke break down the game in general and offer their thoughts on what UW can try and do on both sides of the ball to help slow the Trojans down. How big will Jonah Coleman be in this game, especially after everyone saw Dillon Johnson run wild at USC last season and their run defense hasn't really improved all that much considering opposing offenses are also throwing the ball pretty well against the Trojans. And can UW slow USC down to give the offense enough chances to score touchdowns instead of field goals? USC is currently 16th in the country when it comes to passing offense, and they'll be going up against statistically the best pass defense in the country. Can Washington continue to show they do have one of the best pass defenses in the country, especially when you start to list all the weapons USC quarterback Miller Moss has to throw to? After a quick break, the guys offer up their Bets to Bark - the UW players they expect will impact the game the most - as well as their Betting B1G segment. And then to wrap up the game preview, Jack and Luke offer up their Confidence Intervals. It's how strongly they believe in a UW win. Needless to say, this week's confidence intervals aren't quite at the same level as they have been most of the year, but they do feel a little bit more confident about a home win compared to the last two weeks when the games were away from the friendly confines of Husky Stadium. The guys then quickly give a nod to the UW Men's Basketball team, whose season starts this coming Tuesday against UC Davis.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
