- Adam Jude of The Seattle Times was busy this weekend, putting out an initial preview of the Washington vs. Rutgers game as well as an in-depth examination of how the Dawgs will counter Rutgers’ new-look offense.

- The Dawgman crew has a fresh podcast previewing the Huskies vs. Scarlet Knights matchup.
- Bruce Feldman calls Washington defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake and offensive coordinator Jonathan Smith two of the “30 hottest names on this year's coaching carousel.”
- Eric Single of Sports Illustrated says we learned from the 2017 season’s first games that “[Oregon State head coach] Gary Andersen could be in for a long year.”
- Via USA Today, Washington comes in at No. 12 in Paul Myerberg’s first re-ranking of the 130 FBS programs for the 2017 season. In his estimation, the Dawgs trail Pac-12 foes USC (No. 4) and Stanford (No. 9).
- The No. 3 Husky volleyball team suffered a home court defeat to the No. 9 Creighton Bluejays Saturday after dropping the first two games of the match.
