Wednesday Dots: Is 8 enough?

It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness. Star Wars - Clone Wars Season 1 Episode 19

After a big win, the Dawgs ascend the heights to greatness. But last weekend’s game was just the start of a long season.

Football Dots

• UW was explosive against Boise State (which you probably assumed after watching the game). But this chart shows just how explosive UW was compared to the rest of the FBS teams.

• Dan Raley has this look at Bryant’s performance against Boise State, one of two true freshmen to play in the game. (Raley says that the other is Zach Henning, but WR Taeshawn Lyons is listed on the participation report in the final stats from GoHuskies; Henning is not listed.)
• Dawgman has an interview with one of the defensive stars of the Boise State game, Davon Banks. He talks about getting offered by UW and about the shoulder injury he suffered last year against Oregon State. They also interview fellow DB Jabbar Muhammad and talk to him about why he signed with UW and discover that he knows some of the players on the Tulsa roster.
• Here’s a look at the LB production in the game.

• UW is up to #8 in the AP poll.

• And they are also #8 in the Coaches poll.

• I think that Husky fans can forgive Jalen McMillan. It was nice of him to own up to it.

• Levi Onwuzurike tells his story as part of a new series for the Detroit Lions.

• A reminder about the theme for this Saturday’s game.

• A look at UW from the Tulsa side. They look at UW’s lack of a rushing attack and have a quick review of their game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff in which they lost their starting QB (Braylon Braxton) to an ankle injury; he’s questionable for the game on Saturday. However their backup completed 13 of 14 passes, so he may not be that bad.

UW Athletics

• It wasn’t just the football team that won over the weekend. UW’s teams were a combined 6-0 in games last weekend.

• The UW Women’s Volleyball team is having a ‘Back-To-School Drive’ during the Husky Invitational this weekend.

• UW Women’s Basketball is looking to hire for a multimedia designer postion.
