With the heartbreaking conclusion to the 2012-13 season, the Huskies will be parting ways with Aziz N’Diaye, Scott Suggs and Abdul Gaddy.

NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies team blogger Chris Hall brings us his state of the Huskies basketball team. Despite a pre-season ranking and some high ambitions, the Huskies have struggled mightily most of the season. They are now outside looking in with a slim chance to see the post-season.
NWSB Insider and UW Huskies blogger Chris Hall gives us his take on the Washington Huskies new-look offense. When Lorenzo Romar announced that UW would switch to a high-post offense, reactions were mixed among the Washington faithful. On one hand, the switch may suit this year’s roster. But could such a change really work for the Huskies? Let’s take a look at how Washington’s high-post offense has worked over the course of the season.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies blogger Clinton Bell gives us his analysis, preview, predictions, and breakdown for the upcoming MAACO Las Vegas Bowl matchup between the Huskies and the Boise St. Broncos this Saturday. Things aren’t looking too good for the Huskies in Clinton’s opinion. The Broncos are just too good, and they have better weapons both offensively and defensively. This game could get ugly early, but let’s hope not.
NWSB Insider Bryant Knox brings us his preview for the MAACO Las Vegas Bowl between the Washington Huskies and Boise State Broncos. These two teams have only faced off one other time—a Huskies victory in 2007—but this matchup is the first of three matchups over the next three seasons. Coming into this contest, Keith Price and Bishop Sankey will need help from the offensive line.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies blogger Clinton Bell gives us five things that he is watching for in the Maaco Las Vegas Bowl this Saturday against the Boise St. Broncos. First off, what ever happened in the 4th quarter of the Apple Cup needs to be addressed, fixed, and never allowed to happen ever again. If the Huskies can take the Broncos out of their game, and put the ball into Bishop Sankey’s, this game could be ours to win.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies blogger Clinton Bell gives us five tough questions that he would like addressed by coach Sark himself before the bowl game. First off, how in the world did we allow a bad Cougars team to overcome an 18 point 4th quarter lead to win this game? Second, when will the penalties stop, they are killing us. The Huskies are a good team, but not a great one yet, and these questions prove that.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies blogger Clinton Bell tells us his views on Keith Price’s breakout game against Utah Utes on Saturday night. For once, the Huskies defense didn’t have to hold the team in check while trying to overcome forced turnovers. Price threw for 277 yards, 2 TD’s, no picks, and added a rushing TD to boot, in the second highest scoring offensive output for the Dawgs this year.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies blogger Brandon Choate brings us his game balls from the Huskies’ week 11 game against Utah. The last home game of the season ended in glorious victory as Keith Price clicked with his biggest playmakers Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Kasen Williams while Bishop Sankey cruised to 1,000 yards on the season. John Timu and the Husky secondary played very while while Travis Coons kept a big time player under wraps.
NWSB Insider and Washington Husky blogger Brandon Choate brings us his week 11 preview between the Washington Huskies and Utah Utes. Utah is coming off of a thrashing of Washington State while the Huskies just earned their first road victory in 7 attempts. Keith Price will need to step up as the Utah run defense is tough. Price will need to hit star TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Kasen Williams in order to make some big plays.
