Washington Beats Weber State

The Washington  Huskies beat Weber State 
35-3 Saturday  night  in Husky Stadium. 

Takeaway  number one:  Jonah Coleman
in his first start rushed for 127 yards on
16 carries and had three touchdowns.
The thing is he wasn't  impressed in his 
first game as a Husky  after transferring 
from Arizona.  He believes  the team has
a lot to learn. Tells us not to be impressed  
by Weber State  either.  I  hope is rushing
stats average is the same for the season. 

Takeaway  number two: it take a while
for the Huskies  to score. The halftime 
score was 14-0. A decent score against
a team they outmatched.  Quarterback 
Will Rogers in his Huskies  debut completed 
20 of 26 passes which is a good percentage.
Another that would be a good average. The
yardage was 250 and one touchdown. Rogers 
had no interceptions either. I  am sure having
over over 300 yards would be a good mark
and at least a couple more touchdowns. 

Takeaway Three: the Huskies  defense can
be better if not the offense  as well.  They
gave up 16 first downs. Weber State rushed
for 155 yards so the Huskies  need improvement 
there too. The goal is give up less than one 
hundred yards per game. Passing was 98 yards.
Against good teams that would be a remarkable 
stat.  Neither team had a turnover in the game.
Not a good stat for the Huskies  who were the
superior team. They should have at least one
turnover on  a team that isn't good. We could 
say at this point the Huskies  are a bend and
not break  giving up just a field goal.


The Huskies  take on Eastern Michigan next 
week.  They  generally a good team so will
be a better match up for the Huskies. We
will see improvement  by the  Huskies  we
hope. We will do a preview on Eastern Michigan 
before next Saturday's  game. It is starting at
12:30 pm Seattle  time.  Go Dawgs!
