The University of Washington Huskies had an imperfect win over Tulsa on Saturday, but there was plenty of teaching tape, injury updates, and kickoff collisions to take away from the game.
The Huskies started off the game strong, scoring a touchdown on their first drive of the game. However, the offense was unable to sustain their momentum and the defense allowed Tulsa to score two touchdowns in the second quarter. The Huskies were able to hold off the Golden Hurricane in the second half, but it was far from a perfect performance.
The coaching staff will have plenty of teaching tape to review after the game. The offense struggled to move the ball consistently and the defense had difficulty containing Tulsa’s passing attack. The coaching staff will have to make adjustments in order to improve the team’s performance in upcoming games.
Injury updates were also a major topic of discussion after the game. Starting quarterback Jake Browning left the game in the fourth quarter with an apparent shoulder injury. Backup quarterback Jacob Eason also left the game with an ankle injury. The status of both players is uncertain at this time, but it is likely that both will miss some time due to their injuries.
Finally, there were several hard-hitting kickoff collisions during the game. The Huskies’ special teams unit was able to contain Tulsa’s returners, but there were several big hits that left both teams shaken up. It is important for players to stay safe on special teams plays, and the coaching staff will need to make sure that their players are aware of the risks associated with these plays.
Overall, the Huskies had an imperfect win over Tulsa, but there was plenty of teaching tape, injury updates, and kickoff collisions to take away from the game. The coaching staff will need to make adjustments in order to improve their performance in upcoming games, and they will also need to make sure that their players stay safe on special teams plays.
