After Washington’s first football practice of fall camp Thursday, first-year coach Kalen DeBoer extolled the virtues of various esoteric elements of the Husky program.
Esoteric to the outside world, that is; to DeBoer they are the very core of success. Things such as culture, team-building, bonding, buy-in, conditioning, football IQ, etc. Those have been his focus (with recruiting) since being hired to replace Jimmy Lake in late November.
Yet most fans (and media) are more interested in the bottom-line question: How will the Huskies going be in 2022? Or, put another way, can they avoid a disaster like last season, when Washington shockingly lost its opener at home to Montana and never recovered from that humiliation en route to a 4-8 season?
