The University of Washington Huskies are looking to start the season off with a bang as they host the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on Saturday. The Huskies are coming off a strong 10-4 season last year and are looking to build on that success this season.
The Huskies have a lot of talent returning from last season, including quarterback Jake Browning and running back Myles Gaskin. Browning is coming off a record-breaking season where he threw for 3,430 yards and 43 touchdowns, while Gaskin rushed for 1,282 yards and 21 touchdowns. With the two of them leading the way, the Huskies have high hopes for the season.
On the other side of the ball, the Huskies have a strong defense led by linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven and defensive back Taylor Rapp. Both players were named to the All-Pac-12 first team last season and will be looking to lead the defense to another successful season.
The Golden Hurricane are coming off a 6-7 season last year and are looking to improve on that this season. They have a new head coach in Philip Montgomery and are hoping he can turn things around. They have some talent returning, including quarterback Luke Skipper and wide receiver Keylon Stokes. Skipper threw for 2,919 yards and 22 touchdowns last season, while Stokes had 814 yards and seven touchdowns.
This should be an exciting game between two teams looking to get off to a strong start this season. The Huskies have the talent and experience to make a run at the Pac-12 title this year, while the Golden Hurricane are hoping to surprise some people and make some noise in the conference. It should be an exciting game and one that could set the tone for both teams’ seasons.
