Friday Dots: Husky players talk about Oregon rivalry

If you want to keep up-to-date with news concerning Washington Huskies athletics all in one easy-to-digest format, follow the official UW Dawg Pound Twitter account and — although he’s no longer with the DawgPound staff — Ryan Priest still has the best damn lists of UW’s beat reporters, Washington athletes, and Washington coaches, To the Dots!

Football Dots

• Mike Vorel from The Seattle Times features UW tight end Jack Westover, who had a great game against Arizona. Must say though, he’s getting too much credit for Matteo Mele pushing Ahmed into the endzone (the main TV angle makes it look like Westover, but all the replays show it was mostly Mele).

• Vorel also opens his mailbag, then dives into what the UW/Oregon rivalry means to some of the Husky players.

• GoHuskies has a story on Salvon Ahmed, who sees himself as a leader both on and off the field.

• Beat writers Christian Caple and Tyson Alger from The Athletic ($) discuss the UW/Oregon game this weekend.

• The Daily takes a look at the emerging freshmen on the UW team, and talks to Peyton Henry, who is 14-14 on the season kicking field goals.

• Check out the Chris Petersen Show with Tony Castricone, where the coach praises his defense for holding an explosive Arizona offense in check.
