The Washington Huskies have made a triumphant return to the AP Top 25 Poll, entering the rankings for the first time in six years. After a long period of rebuilding, the Huskies have finally achieved the success they have been striving for.
The Huskies have been steadily improving over the past few seasons, culminating in a 9-3 record this year. This impressive record was enough to earn them a spot in the AP Top 25 Poll at No. 5, their highest ranking since 2013.
The Huskies have been led by their star quarterback, Jake Browning. Browning has thrown for over 3,000 yards and 28 touchdowns this season, helping the Huskies to their best record since 2011. He has also been a leader off the field, helping to bring the team together and create a winning culture.
The Huskies have also been bolstered by a strong defense. Led by linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven, the defense has allowed just 18.7 points per game, the third-best mark in the Pac-12. The defense has also been able to create turnovers, with 11 interceptions and 15 forced fumbles this season.
The Huskies have also been helped by a strong running game. Led by Myles Gaskin, the Huskies have rushed for over 2,000 yards this season. Gaskin has rushed for 1,282 yards and 17 touchdowns, while also catching 28 passes for another 437 yards and five touchdowns.
The Huskies have been rewarded for their hard work with a spot in the AP Top 25 Poll. It is a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication that they have been able to achieve such success after a long period of rebuilding. With the team continuing to improve, they could be set for even more success in the future.
