Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots.
I admitted in our prediction article last Friday that a convincing win over Boise State would calm my nerves heading into this season. Mission accomplished - as the Huskies delivered a blowout win over a Broncos team projected to be pretty good this year.
The UW passing game picked up where it left off and then some, Michael Penix Jr. threw for 450 yards and 5 touchdowns, and the Huskies overwhelmed Boise State with eight TDs on Saturday, final score 56 - 19. The defense was liable for some missed tackles and big plays allowed, but the secondary appears to have made a step forward from last year’s underwhelming season.
- Mike Vorel has “Three lingering questions following UW’s season-opening win over Boise State”, including the play of CBs Jabbar Muhammad, Davon Banks, and Elijah Jackson.
- Here are Kalen Deboer’s post-game comments, and the Dawgman crew breaks down what they saw in Saturday’s win (37 min)
- Ty Gilstrap of the UW Daily has his own “Three takeaways from Washington’s offensive outpour over Boise State”.
Following his week one performance, Michael Penix Jr. is now listed with the second highest Heisman odds per Fanduel, trailing only Caleb Williams.

- I suspect no science goes into this but I agree with it so who cares:
