Texas 41 - USC 38

Some Random Questions on Husky Football


Alexis and Anderson, after clinching Rose Bowl berth   The Washington players are reportedly taking very well to new defensive coordinator Ed Donatell.  If Washington coach Tyrone Willingham had fired the previous coordinator Kent Baer in 2005 instead of 2007 (when he was forced to) and hired someone competent like Donatell, would Willingham be on the hot seat now?   Washington’s recruiting is going poorly so far.  If the University of Washington felt sufficient support to bring back Tyro
