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 breaks down how Dawgs running back Bishop Sankey is doing in 2012. He points out Sankey proved he was for real with subsequent back to back 100+ yard games with touchdowns against Stanford and Oregon. The 189-yard outing was his single highest in game.
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.
Brand new NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies football blogger Chris Hall breaks down the UW vs. LSU 2012 Week 2 matchup in a new Dawgs Love ‘em & Hate ‘em. Chris didn’t love to much on Saturday to be honest. But he hated a whole lot more. Who jinxed this team? Tackle Erik Kohler reaggravated an old knee injury and is out for at least a few weeks.

Brand new NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies football blogger Chris Hall breaks down the Huskies injuries ahead of the LSU Tigers game on Saturday.

Watch yourself Keith Price.
NWSB insider and Washington Husky football blogger Brandon Choate previews the 2012 Washington Huskies football season. With Keith Price returning, he will look to his returners from last year in Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Kasen Williams to continue what he started last season. The defense will need to be much improved after the debacle that was last season under replaced defensive coordinator Nick Holt. How will Shaq Thompson debut?
NWSB insider and Washington Huskies football blogger Clinton Bell gives us an update from Huskies camp as we embark on this 2012 NCAA football season. Two of the biggest questions heading into camp still aren’t resolved. Who will take over for Chris Polk, and who will be the backup for Keith Price. The races have been narrowed down to two men each, Biship Sankey and Jesse Callier will factor in.
NWSB Insider Brandon Choate brings us a fantasy of some sorts today. He gets to put on his wizard hat and play God as he gets to control the outcome of the 2012 Washington Huskies football season. The Huskies will need several things to happen such as fire ants, exploding heads and violations of many kinds. Keith Price, Kasen Williams, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Shaq Thompson and Sean Parker will propel the Huskies this year.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Sports blogger Brandon Choate brings us his breakdown of the strengths and weaknesses of this 2012 Washington Huskies Football squad. With the losses of Cort Dennison and Chris Polk, the linebackers and running backs will have to step up to replace their production. With Keith Price at the helm, though, with a very strong corp of receivers, this team is poised to make a serious run at the Pac-12 North title.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies blogger K-Shell weighs in with some players he predicts will have breakout seasons in the pac 12 in 2012. Kasen Williams the five-star wide receiver and #2 receiver in the entire nation for starters. Jesse Callier & Bishop Sankey, as well as Kevin Smith and Danny Shelton are the guys pegged to have much more than above average seasons in 2012 for UW.
The 1992 Rose Bowl win over Michigan 34-14 which the Huskies won the national championship was a special moment in time, but KShell has an even better Washington Huskies bowl game moment to share. The 2010 Holiday bowl had the Huskies vs. the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Jake Locker vs. Taylor Martinez. The Huskies went from 0-12 to Holiday Bowl champs in just two years.
