NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies blogger Brandon Choate brings us a small preview of next season, listing 5 Huskies who must lead by example. Despite their age, Kasen Williams and Shaq Thompson have a big chance to be inspiring while Keith Price and Austin Seferian-Jenkins are looking to bring back the glory.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies football blogger Chris Hall is back to tell us all about 2013 Huskies spring football. What does Steve Sarkisian have up his sleeve this year? Washington ranked in an exceptionally strong recruiting class this year, another tribute to Sarkisian’s skills as a recruiter. What we know? Kasen Williams will be one of the best receivers in the Pac-12. Austin Seferian-Jenkins’s nagging ankle injury could be seen slowing him down at times.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies football blogger Chris Hall talks about five offseason objectives for the Washington Huskies to accomplish. Washington has lots of talent and depth at quarterback, so should Sark choose to come into 2013 with a new starter, there are options. But until the Huskies know who their signal caller will be, it’s going to be the single biggest offseason issue and question mark for a team that otherwise could be very good.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies football blogger Chris Hall breaks down the UW vs. Boise State 2012 Las Vegas Maaco Bowl matchup. He provides five fearless predictions for the game Saturday. Boise State boasts the 12th-ranked pass defense in the country, seemingly a poor matchup for this years UW team. The matchup to watch will be the dueling performances of quarterbacks Keith Price of Washington and Joe Southwick of Boise State.
NWSB insider and Washington Husky blogger Brandon Choate brings us his game balls from the Huskies’ week 10 victory over Cal. Bishop Sankey has stepped up in a big way this season and that wasn’t any different this week. Austin Seferian-Jenkins got the ball and made the best of it while Sean Parker and Shaq Thompson have played big roles on the defensive side of the ball.
NWSB Insider and Washington Husky blogger Brandon Choate brings us his week 9 game preview between the Washington Huskies and the visiting Oregon State Beavers. Washington will need to get back their confidence as they play yet another top 10 team this week. Keith Price will need to hold onto the ball and try to get it in the hands of his playmakers. The Husky defense will need to be aware of Markus Wheaton, the highly regarded WR for the Beavers.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies blogger Brandon Choate brings us what he thinks went wrong this week when the Huskies headed to Arizona to take on the Wildcats. This week, he has a different twist on his regular article, instead going over the problems that are plaguing this program as a whole this season. Keith Price needs to go back to the leader of last year and Steve Sarkisian needs to dial up game plans to cater to what he has available to him.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies blogger Brandon Choate brings us his list of things that went wrong for the Dawgs in Oregon. Keith Price made several poor choices coupled with the defense’s lack of tackling and it all buried the Huskies and their chances of winning. The defense allowed too many rush yards to Oregon’s 3 running backs and their quarterback and couldn’t secure the ball.
NWSB Insider and Pac 12 football blogger Jeff Budke weighs in today with some predictions for the Washington Huskies vs. Oregon Ducks Saturday matchup. He projects the “Black Mamba” De’Anthony Thomas mentions will top 8, and may reach double digits. He also says Chip Kelly will punch a sideline reporter, Steve Sarkisian will fire a member of his coaching staff mid-game, and it will rain Saturday. Enjoy the game folks.
NWSB Insider and Washington Husky blogger Brandon Choate brings us his week 4 game preview between the Washington Huskies and the visiting Stanford Cardinal. The Huskies will be looking to get Keith Price, Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Kasen Williams on the board against a very stingy Stanford defense. The running game could be the key as Bishop Sankey will need to run physically to help win this one.
NWSB Insider and Washington Husky blogger Brandon Choate brings us his week 3 game preview between the Washington Huskies and the visiting Portland State Vikings. The Huskies have a lot of making up to do after a very poor showing last week and will be looking to get things back on track this week. Keith Price will need protection in order to step up and make big plays to Kasen Williams and Austin Seferian-Jenkins.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies football blogger KShell breaks down the UW vs. LSU matchup from Tiger Stadium – Death Valley in Louisiana. If the Huskies had any chance at all this game it had to be led by junior quarterback Keith Price having a big day. Instead Price had a terrible day. True sophomore Kasen Williams was held to just three receptions. A nightmare day for the purple and gold…of Washington.
