The Washington Huskies are looking to take a big step forward in Jedd Fisch's second season at the helm, and are off to a solid start after wins over Colorado State and UC Davis. However, the head coach has much bigger aspirations in 2025.
Jonah Coleman rushed for a career-high five touchdowns as Washington beat UC Davis 70-10 on Saturday night. Coleman tied the modern program record set by Corey Dillon (1996 vs. UCLA) and Hugh McElhenny (1950 vs. Washington State) on a 5-yard rushing touchdown early in the third quarter. Ervin Daily set the school's all-time mark with seven rushing touchdowns against Whitman in 1919.
A slew of key offensive and defensive players have been deemed QUESTIONABLE on the Michigan Football injury report ahead of the Oklahoma game tonight:
The Michigan Football team has official unveiled their uniform combination ahead of the Week 2 matchup with Oklahoma:
The University of Saskatchewan Huskies weren't perfect in their first week of the Canada West football season, but it was good enough to get the job done. Now, the Huskies have returned home to Saskatoon and their home field at Griffiths Stadium for what they anticipate will be a sold-out atmosphere on Friday night for their annual homecoming game. Having played in four of them over his career with the Huskies, fifth-year receiver Rhett Vavra said it's a night everyone in the locker room looks forward to. “Obviously, we try to look week by week, game by game,” Vavra said.
Sep. 3—The first weekend of college football is in the books. Fans were treated to highly competitive matchups like Ohio State versus Texas, Miami versus Notre Dame or LSU versus Clemson. While each of those top matchups delivered on their hype, I was also paying attention to another situation. In addition to the primetime games, one of my favorite things to do is look at what teams might ...

With Week 1 games, it can be hard to decipher what is real and what is a matter of circumstance. Here's a look at some things we learned about CSU.
Week 1 in the Big Ten gave us great rushing performances, led by Washington’s Jonah Coleman, Michigan’s Justice Haynes, and Minnesota’s Darius Taylor.
Washington State needed a late field goal to secure a 13-10 victory over Idaho and avoid what would have been a sour start to coach Jimmy Rogers' tenure. Across the state, Washington used a dominant fourth quarter to put away Colorado State 38-21 and (partially) justify the optimism accompanying Jedd Fisch's second season on Montlake. Then tailback Jonah Coleman barreled into the end zone — he had 177 yards in total — and the Huskies were able to exhale. All in all, the evening unfolded ideally for UW: A somewhat ugly victory over the Mountain West in Week 1 does far more to accelerate improvement than a blowout win over an FCS team.
The Dawgs are in the win column
It's Colorado State vs. Washington at Husky Stadium in Seattle. Washington is a big favorite, but can the Rams pull an upset? Keys and a prediction.
Next up on defense: Who's going to step up for the Rams against UW? CSU lost its six leading tacklers from 2024, including linebackers Buom Jock (transferred to Cal) and Chase Wilson (graduated). Plus, the unit has a new/old boss in DC Tyson Summers. How the Rams fare in '25 depends largely on how quickly this new-look defense can come together.
The Washington Huskies football program employed Stephen Belichick last year, the only season since 1974 his father, Bill, wasn't employed as a coach. Bill Belichick might've retired from the New England Patriots, but he wasn't away from football in 2024. He was in Seattle, Washington, with his son. And he was there so frequently, the Wall Street Journal's Laine Higgins revealed he had his own Huskies hoodie with the block “W” where one for Pat Patriot used to be. “Belichick attended dozens of Washington's practices and team meetings last season, analyzed film with coaches and even addressed the players before a big game. He was such a frequent visitor to the practice facility that the team even
Washington had a losing record last season just one campaign after falling to Michigan in the College Football Playoff national championship game. Kalen DeBoer fled to become Alabama's coach and player departures were rampant on both sides of the ball. Now Washington (6-7 last season) looks to stretch the home winning streak to 21 games when they open the 2025 season against Colorado State on Saturday night at Seattle.
Earlier this month, Joel Klatt named Washington as one of the possible crashers this year into the College Football Playoff. Now, two weeks later, Klatt is as far as looking into the odds for this season of the Huskies to return to the CFP. Klatt named some long-shot bets that he likes coming into the […]
A lot can change over the course of a month. Other than a few weeks of limited reporting during Spring Practices, August is our first chance to get in-depth updates on the roster’s development and coaches’ approach. How have our writers processed those changes and what can we expect when real games kick off? Andrew […]
The Colorado State Rams take on the Washington Huskies in Seattle this Saturday and will be bringing their media team to cover the game. But someone in the department clearly anticipated them having a rough time pronouncing one particular name. A screenshot of the Colorado State media guide has ...
Season-opening football lineups released on Monday show four University of Washington position battles remain unsettled, including three on offense, leading up to the Huskies' Saturday night outing against Colorado State. Freshman John Mills and redshirt freshman Paki Finau are still in competition to determine the starter at left offensive guard -- with Mills bidding to become the first true freshman lineman to start in nearly a decade. Penn State senior transfer Omari Evans and freshman Raiden Vines-Bright likewise are listed together at a starting wide-receiver spot in another battle involving a first-year player.
