Washington Huskies Open Training Camp

The Washington Huskies start training 

camp on Thursday. The season opener

begin in one month on Sunday September 

6 at Husky Stadium at 1 pm Pacific Time.

The Huskies take on the Washington State 

Cougars in the Apple Cip on that day.

It is interesting to start the season this

way. In the past while both were part 

of the Pac-12 they would play the last game

of the season generally.

The Huskies are ranked 7th in the  Big Ten

and nationally #19. The Huskies will play

every game in September at home. The 

last game of the month will begin the

schedule of the Big Ten against Minnesota.  

The Huskies are considered a top 20

nationally on defense. Last year they

were 15th in scoring defense and 12th

against the run.  They should be around 

that once again.

On offense Desmond Williams Jr returns

as the quarterback. He has a talented 

group of receivers though young in

experience.  Last year's top receiver

Denzel Boston  left early to the NFL 

being drafted by the Cleveland Browns 

in the second round.

The big question on offense is  the running 

game as last year's top running back Jonah 

Coleman graduated. Jonah was drafted in

the 4th round by the Denver Broncos. He is 

getting high praise by their coaching staff.

The Huskies will have to depend on all new

guys.  The Apple Cup will show where tgey

go there.

The Huskies are favored over the Cougars

by 21.5 going into the game.  The Cougars

are playing in the new Pac-12 with mostly 

schools coming over from the Mountain 

West. It will no longer be them and Oregon 

State who were thesst standing of the

Pac-12. 

The Cougars have a new head coach Kirby

Moore who was offense coordinator at 

Missouri. It will be interesting for the first

time head coach.  Not only WSU has a new

coaching staff they will have a lot of  new

players too.  Kitvy won't name his starting 

quarterback until a week before the opening 

game. They have three candidates.

Moore is familiar as he grew up bin Prosser 

Washington. A wide receiver he played his

college ball at Boise State who will be one

of the new schools in Pac-12.  In fact they

are favored to win the conference.

Going into this season the Cougars Cougars 

are figured to end in 5th in the Pac-12. 

Here we will recap each game the Cougars

and Huskies play over the season. We hope

success for both teams.  Make our job

a lot easier. Lol
