The University of Washington Huskies football team is predicted to place second in the Pac-12 preseason media poll. This is an exciting development for the Huskies, who have been a powerhouse in the Pac-12 for many years.
The Huskies have been consistently competitive in the Pac-12 since their inception in 1889. They have won 15 conference championships, including four in the last five years. They have also made seven appearances in the College Football Playoff, with their most recent appearance coming in 2016.
The Huskies are led by head coach Chris Petersen, who has been at the helm since 2014. Petersen has led the Huskies to a record of 63-14 in his six seasons as head coach. He has also led the team to four Pac-12 championships and two College Football Playoff appearances.
The Huskies are expected to be a strong contender in the Pac-12 this season, with many experts predicting them to finish second in the conference. They are led by quarterback Jacob Eason, who is entering his second season with the team. Eason was a highly touted recruit coming out of high school and is expected to be one of the top quarterbacks in the conference this season.
The Huskies have a strong defense as well, led by defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike and linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio. Onwuzurike was a first-team All-Pac-12 selection last season and is expected to be one of the top defensive players in the conference this season. Ulofoshio was also a first-team All-Pac-12 selection last season and is expected to be a key contributor on defense this season.
The Huskies will open their season on September 5th against Eastern Washington. They will then face off against Stanford, Oregon, and Washington State before finishing their regular season against Oregon State on December 5th.
The Huskies are expected to be one of the top teams in the Pac-12 this season and they should be in contention for a Pac-12 championship. With a strong offense and defense, the Huskies should be able to compete for a spot in the College Football Playoff this season.
