Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots.
I’m glad of two things: 1) this Dawgs team found a way to win against an ASU team that has been positively confounding for the last two decades, and 2) that we may never have to play ASU again. Ever.
I know some people were confident the score would not be close, and reasonable thinking would point that way, but I truly had a bad feeling about this game all week. I claimed in a recent article that the Trap Game status of this matchup was “Very Real and Spooky As Hell”, and I stand by that claim. How else do you explain a 1-5 team coming into Husky Stadium and holding one of the best offenses in the country to 0 touchdowns?
In the end UW held ASU to 7 points and found a way to win with 3 FGs and a crucial 90yd pick 6 by Mishael Powell. UW remains the only undefeated team in the Pac-12 with 5 games left in the regular season.
BUT, but.. Win or no win.. The failure to create any kind of run game is concerning.
- Ethan Kilbreath, UW Daily: “Powell’s pick six allows Huskies to survive Sun Devil scare”
- Christian Caple: “The Day After: 21 thoughts on Washington’s close call against Arizona State”
- Mike Vorel: “Commentary: UW’s win over Arizona State felt like a loss. How will the Huskies respond?”
- Larry Stone: “Undefeated UW can’t afford to have another performance like Saturday’s win over ASU”
- Dawgman: “Here is what Kalen DeBoer said after Washington’s 15-7 win over Arizona State”
Not sure anyone would have predicted the Huskies' offense was going to hear scattered boos from the crowd tonight.

These fourth down decisions by UW opponents have been absolutely flabbergasting in back-to-back weeks.

Defense is allowing 18.9 ppg. That is, IIRC, around what we gave up during the height of Death Row.

Point is, even though it may not look pretty, those boys on defense have been getting the job done this year.
