In The Seattle Times’ college football preview section, published Sept. 2, I predicted Washington would go 8-4 in Kalen DeBoer’s debut season in Seattle.
Sixteen days later, it’s time to reassess.
In those 16 days, UW rolled over Kent State (45-20) and Portland State (52-6), before bombarding No. 11 Michigan State in a prime-time 39-28 win Saturday. I wrote in the aforementioned article that if a Spartan pass defense that ranked dead last nationally (allowing 324.8 pass yards per game) in 2021 is still lacking: “The Husky wideouts might have an opportunity to expose a shoddy secondary and secure a huge home win. But we’ll have to see it to believe it.”
