The University of Washington Huskies overcame early struggles to defeat the Boise State Broncos in their season opener on Saturday. The Huskies, who were coming off a disappointing 5-7 record last season, started the game off slowly, trailing by as much as 14 points in the first half. However, the Huskies rallied in the second half and came away with a hard-fought 31-24 victory.
The Huskies were led by quarterback Jacob Eason, who threw for 290 yards and two touchdowns. Eason was able to find his rhythm in the second half and helped lead the Huskies to victory. He was also aided by the running game, which was able to grind out yards and keep the Broncos defense on their heels.
The defense also stepped up for the Huskies, forcing four turnovers and holding Boise State to just 24 points. The Huskies were able to contain Boise State’s offense, which had been one of the most explosive in the country last season.
The win was a big one for the Huskies, who had been struggling to find their footing in recent years. With the win, the Huskies have now won their first game of the season for the first time since 2015. The victory also gives them momentum heading into their next game against Hawaii.
The Huskies will look to continue their winning ways as they take on Hawaii this Saturday. If they can continue to play like they did against Boise State, they should have no problem coming away with another victory. With a strong offense and defense, the Huskies have all the tools necessary to make a run at the Pac-12 title this season.
