The Washington Huskies are flying under the radar after they weren't ranked by the AP Poll or US LBM Coaches Poll yet again. Locked On Huskies hosts Roman Tomashoff and Lars Hanson tackle the burning question of why the fast-rising 5-1 Big Ten team isn't getting the national respect it deserves.
The hosts break down the Huskies' offensive fireworks, led by quarterback Demond Williams Jr's record-setting performance against the Scarlet Knights, and how players like Jonah Coleman, Denzel Boston, and Dezmen Roebuck factor into Jedd Fisch's elite offense. They analyze defensive concerns, debating if Ryan Walters' "bend don't break" strategy is sustainable against tougher Big Ten competition as Zach Durfee's injury hurts the pass rush. The conversation shifts to resetting expectations - could Washington be poised for more than just a good season?
Tune in for an in-depth look at the Huskies' path to success, including key matchups against the Michigan Wolverines and Illinois Fighting Illini that could define their season.
