The Huskies seem to be hitting their stride a little bit on the offensive side of the ball.
They exploded for 52 points against Hawaii at home and then put up 45 points on the road against BYU before coming back home to score 28 against a tough USC team.
The Huskies are getting a lot of productivity from their tailbacks including redshirt freshman Richard Newton and Salvon Ahmed has shown a lot of progress as well, as evidenced by his 89-yard touchdown run against the Trojans on Saturday, a play that featured his ability to make someone miss and then use his breakaway speed to run away from the secondary.
By the way, that run was the longest for a Husky since Napoleon Kaufman broke off a 91-yard jaunt against San Jose State back in 1994.
Offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan isn't ready to say the offense is where he wants it to be, but he is happy about the progress the team has made, especially quarterback Jacob Eason and tailback Salvon Ahmed and he hopes it continues..
Senior left tackle Trey Adams says he's feeling good about the way he's playing individually and how the offensive line has come together and what it was like doing 50 push-ups as his penance for getting a personal foul in the Trojan game. Fellow senior, center Nick Harris, talked about the transition from guard to center and helping out Matteo Mele when he came in for Harris against Eastern Washington.
Tight end Hunter Bryant ranks second on the Huskies with 23 receptions, but he's leading the team with 334 yards through the air and he talked about his progress as an every-down tight end while Cade Otton talked about watching Will Dissly succeed with the Seattle Seahawks.
Offensive line coach Scott Huff relayed his thoughts on the communication for the offensive line and where things can break down at times.
