Speaker 1 (00:00):
What is Husky football? Football? Football?

Speaker 2 (00:02):
This is Husky Talk post Game Howard by your Northwest
Chevy Dealers, by Coor's Life, by UA Local thirty two
hunder Construction, R and R Foundation specialists, Bowen scar Ford,
Mitsubishi Electric and by K two Vision. Husky Talk post
Game is on the air with former Huskies Greg Lewis

(00:25):
and Mario Bailey.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Hears Dave Suttey Muller.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Under center, goes Williams play fake, Oh, Williams alluding at
the better He's gonna chuck it. He duk hold it
up and turns catches man.

Speaker 5 (00:37):
He is gone.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Touchdown. Tensil Boston, the former punt returner, just turned around,
waits on the football, takes it in and races seventy.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Eight yards into the house.

Speaker 6 (00:51):
I don't think Mario Bailey ever had a touchdown that
wide open.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Goodness.

Speaker 6 (00:57):
Welcome to Occidental Hall here in the shadow of Looming Field,
where there's a big football game tomorrow we're talking about
the Huskies.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
Just absolutely to quote the great Elise Woodward.

Speaker 6 (01:09):
Putting a whoop it on Boise State tonight thirty eight
to ten, kind of similar to the last time they
met in the Bowl game, the twenty nineteen Vegas Bowl,
a thirty eight to seven win for the Dogs. They
get it done, thirty eight ten. Dick fan in for
Dave Softy Maler, who is just wrapping up at so far.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
He'll be heading on the plane back with the team
here shortly.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
But guys, Mario is here, Greg is here, the Husky
Hawks are here, and a thirty eight to ten win,
the forty fourth Bowl game in UUB history.

Speaker 5 (01:40):
And we are now over five hundred. We tip the scales.

Speaker 6 (01:43):
We are now twenty two, twenty one and one with
the victory, and I we are winners in the bowl
games all time. Jed now two and two in the
bowl games and just an absolute dismantling of a Boise
State team.

Speaker 5 (01:59):
And Greg, let's start with you, because we were just
talking off.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
The air about power five slash that's power four four
now now slash power two. Really when you talk about
the SEC and the big ten versus the group of five,
and it just seems like the gap is getting bigger
and bigger and bigger.

Speaker 7 (02:17):
Yeah, first of all, the space between us is a
lot bigger.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Since it's you sitting here instead of.

Speaker 6 (02:22):
Soft does he cozy up with you a little more, Oh,
I got you okay the.

Speaker 7 (02:30):
Couch, but no, I was just having a conversation with
the person who runs the bar here and he's an
Oregon fan and.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Talking about them playing James Madison.

Speaker 7 (02:39):
I just think that it's time to quit playing games
about the group of two against these other conferences and
putting them into playoffs doesn't make a lot of sense
because there is such.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
A wide gap.

Speaker 7 (02:51):
We just played the champions of the Mountain West Conference, right,
They wonted three years in a row, Mario. They're hands
down the best team by far in the Mountain West,
and we're second, maybe you could even say third tier
Big ten team this year right result wise, and we
just took them apart.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I mean, it wasn't even a ballgame.

Speaker 7 (03:11):
And the A plus job that our defensive coordinator has
done this year, Mario, not b The A plus job
that our defensive coordinator has done this year was evident today.
Five takeaways. I think it was interceptions, pressure on the quarterback.
All the things Mario asked for, they were there today.
But I would just say all throughout the entire year,

(03:34):
the defense and coach Walters just did such a phenomenal
job that they put us in a position where we
were really one bad offensive performance away from still being
in the playoff talk even though we're a second and
a half tier in the Big Ten.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
Mario, how would you like to respond both to the
both of the accusations that they're rightfully.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, he's a little harder.

Speaker 6 (03:58):
You are right fully accused today because I was listening
to the pregame show and Mario's B slash B plus
grade of Bryan Walters today was was a little bit.
I'm just glad he wasn't my college professor. I'll tell
you that I wouldn't have gotten out of school because
I think Ryan Walter's judged fabulous job and we saw
another fabulous job today. Talk about the defense, but then

(04:20):
also talk about what Greg was talking about their Mario
about just it just doesn't seem like there used to
be a good Pac twelve team versus Boise in the past.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
Was like they were the same, basically the same team.

Speaker 6 (04:34):
Now a good slash average Big Ten team against a
Mountain West champion Boise, they can't even be on the
same field together.

Speaker 8 (04:41):
Yeah, It's like when people talk to me about Washington
State and they talk about that rivalry, I tell him,
is over it right now. It's never gonna be a rivalry.
We're gonna win nine out of ten. They might get
lucky one time. The bottom line is in il and
money like those type of programs aren't gonna get players
in there. They're not to be able to be competitive

(05:01):
with the pack excuse me, the Big Ten or the
SEC ever again right now, those two conferences are the
power too, as Greg called him, and they will dominate
every single time. So whenever you see us line up
against somebody like that, against a Boise State, we're supposed
to dominate like we did today. Sometimes you'll see an upset,
but it won't happen too often because the bottom line

(05:24):
is we get the talent, we have the money and
they don't, and they're gonna have second third tier type
of guys that are just happy to be playing against
those guys. And the other part is coach still gotta
B plus for the season. He got an A plus
for this bowl game. He did everything. The defense did
everything I said they should be doing. Besides playing great defense,

(05:44):
they should be causing turnovers, pressing the quarterback. They got
five interceptions today. They were after that quarterback all the
way until the last signal to the last whistle, because
even in the last drive of Boise State, the guys
were blitzing. Coach was blitch and those guys he was
trying to were coming after him. The new guys were
coming in there. We got five picks. You don't ever

(06:06):
see that. I heard somebody in the radio cast say
it hasn't been that way in this century. Five interceptions.
So a plus for today, b plus for the season.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
You know, when you when you look at a game
like this, I can understand a lot of Huskies fans saying, Okay,
who cares? It was a meaningless bowl game? Was the
La Bowl? The La Bull's dead now anyway? I mean,
it's just but you know, for me, this was a
prime time ABC televised game, solo football game, the only

(06:36):
football game on TV at five o'clock Pacific, eight o'clock
Eastern time, right after the Heisman Trophy.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
There was a lot of eyeballs on this game, just casual.

Speaker 6 (06:47):
It's on sports bars all through like every sports bar
through the country. What did they have on tonight? They're
showing sports They're showing this game, and they're showing Washington
kicking the butt of Boise State, who I think has
a fairly decent brand. Right right then, everybody's like, Damn
Washington's killing Boise State, and they're watching this quarterback and
he's performing, he's tying a Husky record before touchdown passes.

(07:09):
I think it was a very good performance on a
very nice stage.

Speaker 7 (07:13):
Yeah, I think, you know, all the things you said
are true. And we talked early in the pregame show
about whether this could.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Generate a lot of buzz.

Speaker 7 (07:20):
My contention was, if we lost, then we had a
poor performance, it could have done a lot more damage
on the other end to what we're trying to build here.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
I think Coach Fish is at that preferences.

Speaker 7 (07:31):
Of a few more moves getting us to be able
to compete for a championship.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Now.

Speaker 7 (07:37):
I heard somebody that Softie was talking to on the
air before the game that's saying that the difference between
the upper echelon of the Big ten and where we
are right now, that there's a wide gap.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (07:50):
I don't know that I necessarily agree with that. And
here's why we played the best or second and third
best teams or you know, there's three at the top
right now. That are really good, right Indiana, Oregon in
Ohio State. We played two of them, and although we
lost and you can definitely see that there is.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
A gap, it wasn't an insurmountable game exactly.

Speaker 7 (08:13):
A couple of plays go differently against Oregon, and there's
a way to say we could.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Have won that game.

Speaker 7 (08:19):
Ohio State is dominant defensively right now, and I think
Demon Williams that early in the season and then the
injuries we had on the offensive line that game really
made that one a little tougher at the end.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
So I don't think that the gap is that big.

Speaker 7 (08:34):
And so now you're on this big stage you just mentioned, right,
and kids who are going into the portal are watching,
kids who you're recruiting for twenty twenty seven are watching.
Now you have an opportunity to say, hey, we're not
that far away. We are a good football team, and
if we get you to come and plug in this
space that we need right now, next year.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
We can play for that.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
We can compete for that because truthfully, if we beat Wisconsin,
we were there this year, and I think we have
an opportunity with the guys coming back, right and there's
some guys who are gonna have to make some decisions
right now on whether they take that extra year to
Carrio Davis and Phesus Rereisack, those guys could actually have
another year if they wanted one, right, and then you

(09:16):
look at the Buddhas and you look at you know,
some of the guys on making Mania, Jacob Myanu.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
So now you're in Hatchett just got another year.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
So now now look at this. You have the opportunity
one of those corners come back.

Speaker 7 (09:30):
You have the opportunity to say we can play for
it all if we go get us Denzil Boston comes back.
So I think it was a great opportunity for them,
like you said, to play on that stage with everybody watching,
including potential players that could wear to.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
W next year.

Speaker 8 (09:45):
I think what you said, Dick, like nobody is playing
right now, this is the best time. It's like a
prime time game.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
There's no real football going on.

Speaker 8 (09:53):
Five o'clock West Coast, eight o'clock Eastern, Like that's perfect,
and that's we don't really get to play that a lot,
and never will we get to play that when nobody
gets to see what we did, how we played tonight,
where people will be able to see and they'll think
about it, they'll think about playing with demand, they'll think
about the future of this team. We're one win away

(10:15):
from this year from being able to say we had
ten victories at Wisconsin game. Yes, we keep talking about it,
but it haunts us because we could have had ten victories.
We could have been in the championship race up until
the Oregon game. Oregon is not that much better than us.
They did not blow us out right in the fourth quarter.
We were still in the game until that last touchdown,
So we're competitive. I like with the future holdes. We're

(10:37):
gonna keep talking about coach Fish like we're what are
we nine and four this year? Yeah, we're gonna keep
talking about coach Fish, but we can't be nine and
four next year and saying that's three years. We've given
him two years. He's getting his offense in, he's getting
his guys in, he's a great recruiter.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Next year, we need to take the next step.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
Nine and four carries over next year because I know
Safti metches and I totally agree with him. The preseason
polls are built on three things. One brand, and we
got a really good brand. We don't have an elite brand,
but we got a really good brand. It's built on
what was your record the year before, and it's built
on how many returning starters slash stud transfers do you have?

Speaker 5 (11:17):
Yeah, and check, check and check. So the Huskies, because they.

Speaker 6 (11:21):
Won this game and finish nine and four versus eight
and five, which is just middle of the pack, like whatever,
they will be ranked. I believe in the preseason polls
next year, maybe even in the top seventeen eighteen nineteen.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Oh you don't think so.

Speaker 7 (11:36):
Well, here's why nothing you said is untrue, Dad, Yeah, nothing,
And I think they are good enough to be in that.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
But they got two things going against them.

Speaker 7 (11:45):
One, if you're in the SEC, you automatically move up
five spots ahead of where you should be.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Even though we're in a big ten.

Speaker 7 (11:51):
If you were in the SEC, you're gonna be five
spots ahead of where you could be.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
Because he ESPN calls him and says, you better get
those guys.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Number two direction directionally with we're in the west. We're
in the west coast. Matter of fact, we're in the northwest.

Speaker 7 (12:04):
So I think because of those two reasons, we will
probably be in the back half. I think we'll be
somewhere between twenty one and twenty four is where I
think they'll start out, which you know, Hey, we gotta
do it the old fashioned way.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
We got to put on our hard hats. We gotta
go and win it.

Speaker 7 (12:17):
So nothing you said is untrue. I don't want to
think I'll disagree with you. I'm just saying the people
can say what they want. If you're in the SEC,
and if you're in the South, you are going to
get more of a benefit of a doubt, and you're
going to be higher ranked, in my opinion, than where
you probably should start.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
Take a quick time out, will come back talk about
some of the key players in the game. Some of
the key players in the game, as well as a
Husky Hawks postgame show live from Occidental Hall right in
the shadow Blooming Field here on ninety three point three
kJ RFF.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Now back to Husky Talk postgame powered by your Northwest chevty.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Leries, by Coor's Life, by you Way.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Local, thirty two, Highter Construction, R and R Foundation Specialists,
Bowen's Ard Forward, Mitsubishi Elec and by K two Vision
on Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Freshman Des Roebuck had a key block on the outside.
Beautiful job by the wide receiver. Play fake Williams speed
to the right side, fires a fast balls cut touchdown.
It's Jess Roebuck Loo Teddy yell after touchdown catch number seven,
a beautiful block on the play before, and he's rewarded

(13:30):
by getting into the end zone. Desmond Roebuck helps the
Huskies take a two score lead.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
That's the freshman All American snub right there.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
I thought that was Cleveland yelling and screaming after the
touchdown was actually des Roebuck.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
He was well miked man.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
That was like that was like our engineer Terry Ryan
in the back of the end zone miking him up.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
That was good stuff right there.

Speaker 6 (13:51):
Husky Talk postgame show sponsored by Chevy Silverado, bring on
the tough stuff because with nine trims and four available engines,
Chevy Silverado is ready to accept all challenges. Were also
brought to you by UA Local number thirty two, Hyder Construction,
R and R Foundation specialist Bow and Scar force Ford
rather Mitsubishi Electric Heating and Air Conditioning, K two Vision

(14:13):
and Coors Light made the chill.

Speaker 5 (14:15):
Let's talk about the freshman wide receivers.

Speaker 6 (14:17):
Let's talk about Desmond Roebuck, Let's talk about you know,
these guys like Chris Lawson and Raydon Vines Bright Mario,
I mean, how good are these guys in your opinion
going forward?

Speaker 8 (14:31):
I think they can be great. It was fun to
see those guys come out. A couple guys score touchdowns.
Roebuck and Vines Bright lost and got.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
In the game.

Speaker 8 (14:39):
They had like ten different guys that got to catch
the ball today.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
It's fun.

Speaker 8 (14:43):
And I talked about that pregame, just letting coach get
out there unless some guys get to play. He had
no problem. I was wondering when Deman was gonna come out, like,
we can't risk demand just to have a Bowl game.
He already had the MVP. But our receivers are gonna
be great. They're gonna have a great opportunity. I think
great and soft. He talked about a pregame about coach
going into Portal and then bringing somebody to compete with

(15:05):
those guys. Right now, I think they have a great
nucleus of guys, but they probably need one more piece
to make them even better. Yeah, I think both of
those guys are you know the one b type of guy,
you know what I mean, where they're gonna really thrive
if they have another guy who's taking a lot of attention.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
That's safety over the top. And the only reason I
say that, Mario, where I think the one thing.

Speaker 7 (15:28):
That you know could add to who they really are
is that dynamic of that real speed, you know, that
super speed down the sideline. Now, Denzel Boston this year
was our one a guy and he wasn't necessarily a burner,
but he's physically really big, really tall, really strong. But
I think if we had that other speed guy, you know,
it would make those guys even better.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
I'm looking for you know.

Speaker 7 (15:50):
And again I throw this out there only because he
hasn't said it yet. I'd love to see Denzel Boston
come back. I want. I think there's about a four
percent chance that happen.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
Is it a good move for him to go pro
this year?

Speaker 1 (16:03):
I mean for his life? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (16:04):
Absolutely, Because he's going to go in the first round,
you think, yeah, I mean everybody has him ranked in
their top three wide receivers off the board, everybody, and
they have him going.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
At the worst early, early second round.

Speaker 7 (16:17):
But most of the people have him as a first
round so you got to go because you can't recoup
money on the back end that you don't get in
the front end, because you can't get that year back.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
So for him, yes, but I think for life. Here's
the thing.

Speaker 7 (16:29):
You're always He's gonna make enough money for his life,
regardless of whether he goes this year or next year.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Right, but going.

Speaker 7 (16:36):
Becoming back and being part of a team that could
potentially win a national championship, nothing can replace that. I
would I would probably bet if I asked Mario right now,
what is the best year of football he ever had
in his life, the most fun, the one he remembers
the most. I guarantee you to be nineteen ninety one
because it was that championship, it was been with your brothers,
it was that run. So that's something he won't ever

(16:59):
be to get. It's not guaranteed next year. But if
he were to come back and they would be that good,
that's the only probably negative for him. Now for the team,
him coming back would be unbelievable. Now you have somebody
whose experience is gonna help mentor those new young First
you know four star guys who come in, they can
see the You know a guy who who how hard

(17:22):
he works, and all of those things that made him
to that great player, and then Bind's bright and Roebuck
can continue to benefit from him being on the field
to get theirs because people are saying so much attention
to him. So you know, it's definitely good pros and
Conzi the way, but for his for him himself personally
going as really the thing that makes the most sense.

Speaker 8 (17:43):
Yeah, if he's gonna go in the top three rounds,
I honestly.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Have a hard time saying he's gonna go in the
first round. I know what they're saying.

Speaker 8 (17:50):
Unless he goes to the Combine and goes lights out
at the combine, has a great forty time and does
well as the combine, I don't see him going in
the first round. But for me, Greg is saying that
national championship, Yes, that was the funnest life of my
funnest days of my life. But I'll take that money.
You know, I would rather take the money and I

(18:11):
forget my national championship. I'll take the money to be
able to take care of me and my family for
the rest of my life. So that young man, if
he's gonna go in the first three rounds, get on
out of here. And I know he knows that that's
what they're saying. And Greg made a great point pregame.
Next year, that got the guy from Alabama, Ryan, and
we got Jeremiah coming out of Ohio State. It's gonna

(18:32):
be a lot of guys coming out, so you might
want to sneak out this year. Get your money, get
out of here. Washington will be okay.

Speaker 7 (18:39):
I say this Mario about you say you would trade
the national championship for the money be able to take
care of Himberolls to life. I think either way, if
you're going to be a first round quality player, he's
gonna make enough money to take care of his HEMI
wrest of life, even if he goes one year later.
So that's all I will mean by saying that. So
I think it's not an either or, it's just a
waiting another year in order.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
To do that. But you have a guy like Jamar Chase.

Speaker 8 (19:04):
Jamar Chase won the best receiver in the league, not
anymore jas n Is, but Jamar Chase won a national
championship and he had the opportunity to come back. He
sat out the next year because he didn't want to
risk being hurt. That's the thing with Denzel is coming
back and having a horrible season, getting hurt and messing
up your entire draft stock. So take your button and

(19:25):
go get the money. Yeah, you can't blame him if.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
He decided to do that.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
I think Mario paid the biking us to make sure
they started, just to kill your side of the bet,
just to kill your side. Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson be.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Who is Justin Jefferson?

Speaker 7 (19:41):
You know, he's one of the top three best receivers
in football. He just has the worst office and the
worst quarterback. So are we talking about the Husk?

Speaker 5 (19:49):
Are we cool with Chris Lawson, Desmond Robock, Raiding Bindes
Bright as our three starting wide receivers next year with
the freshman behind them, or do they need a transfer
to come and replace Denzel Boston.

Speaker 8 (20:01):
Yeah, if you're looking at it right now, those guys
Robot played pretty well.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
He's our second receiver.

Speaker 8 (20:08):
But looking at it on paper and just looking at
what they put together on the field, you absolutely need
somebody else to come into portal and and and change
the dynamic of the receivers. You know, we talked about
it earlier again pregame you make a jump from your
freshman and sophomore year, But I don't know if they
can make that big a jump. Greg is right. We
need somebody to take the top off the defense. We

(20:29):
need another playmaker on offense. We need somebody else as
the receiver.

Speaker 7 (20:33):
And I also think you go in and bring somebody
in who you think is that one a guy? And
if he raises their level because they're like you know that,
it makes them better, It makes them work harder. So
I think all in all, that's one of the things
you do gotta do, go out and get that top guy.

Speaker 5 (20:50):
In the portal. What happen?

Speaker 6 (20:51):
I'm not gonna talk about too many key places day,
but what what the heck happened on that Denzel Boston
touchdown pass with just two guys going after the out
route at the same time.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
Mario, what happened?

Speaker 8 (21:01):
It looked like the safety wasn't supposed to go with
the tight end. The safety is supposed to keep the
middle of the field the corner like let Denzel go.
But and then the safety went with the tight end.
Both of them were over there. Yep, told a mistakes,
you know you, but you you know what?

Speaker 1 (21:17):
It was a coverage bust.

Speaker 8 (21:18):
But if I was just looking at the stat sheet
and I seen six for one hundred and twenty, I
wouldn't know that there was a coverage bus for a
eighty yard touchdown. Yeah, I think one. It was a
well designed play, right.

Speaker 7 (21:29):
It was a play action pass too, so there are
people who froze a little bit. The gab a little time.
He ran one of the best post routes he's probably
run all year. So he ran a great route and
like Mario said, the safety went with him, and so
the other guy who corner on the left side was
still sitting there of both guard and the guy who
broke to the corner, and he ran the post route

(21:51):
and was wide over.

Speaker 8 (21:52):
The best part of the play was the mom was
about to get sacked for him to step out.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
And no they don't know. Let me tell you the
best part. I couldn't see who it was real, But
you're on the right line. When he stepped up, he
was about to get sacked.

Speaker 7 (22:05):
One of the backs made one of the best last
that Mohammed made up a great pass.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Let's picked up.

Speaker 7 (22:11):
They picked him up just enough to allow him to
step up, So you're on the right track. But I'm
telling you, if Mohammad had not gotten that block, he'd
get knocked out.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
You never got to pass off.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
What do we think of Demon's game fifteen to twenty
four two fifteen four touches? I kind of I like
Jed Fish's play calling today, and I've been hard on
Jedfish at times this year and his play calling. There
as a lot of a lot of quick, quick game,
a lot of Demon running the ball design runs. I
like the mix today.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
I thought that was exactly what you said.

Speaker 8 (22:41):
A lot of quick screens, like we got a Denzel
opened right away, just threw him a couple of quick screens.
I think they had a corner blitch. We threw it
to Denzel, but we even threw a tight end on
the quick passes. I loved it, and he got the
runs to the quarterback. I thought it was totally different.
Had we been doing that all year with my not
have any complaints, but I will say, because I'm negative

(23:03):
ned that this is what our offense does against teams
like that all year. We've been doing the same thing,
and we look at demand and that's what he should
be doing. We just need some consistency and needed against
the top teams.

Speaker 7 (23:14):
I will tell you this Demon had a really good game.
He could have had a better game if the offensive
line had played better in the first half. I'm going
to tell you the one part of the game that
I was a little bit mystified about was Boise State's
defensive front played an excellent game against US in the
first half, and the first few drives we struggled a

(23:35):
little bit trying to get the ball in the end
zone because one, they were able to control our run
game quite a bit, and they put pressure on demand
even the long touchdown had Adam Muhammad and not made
a great block at the last minute on that Blitz
pick up. So Demon was under pressure more than I
thought he would be today. So I think his seventeen
for what twenty five he said, I fifteen to twenty four.

(23:58):
Had he not been under the amount of pressure that
he was under, I think he would have had a
twenty three for twenty five type of day, maybe another
another seventy eighty yards in passing. And even though I
think Joacoleman ended up with like twelve carries for eighty
six or something like that touchdown, I think he had
a lot of ones in no yards, you know. He

(24:18):
you know, fortunately broke a couple. But I thought the
offensive line just played seat plus today and I think
that hindered our offense from being even better.

Speaker 8 (24:28):
Honestly, we should have had a fifty piece. The defense
gave us those five turnover.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah, the offensive line didn't play good enough. We should have.

Speaker 5 (24:34):
Well, we also kind of shut the offense down.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
We did, Wow, we did. Yeah, but we still should
have had yeah. Yeah, I hear.

Speaker 7 (24:41):
We had three points going to what middle of the
third middle of the second quarter? Right, we still had
three points? Yes, because the offense line didn't play well.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
We'll talk about the defense.

Speaker 6 (24:48):
We'll give our defensive Player of the Week award out
which I think might be a three man sweep for
the Defensive Player of the Week award, but we'll talk
about it coming up next. Husky Hawks postgame Show ninety
three point three KJRFM.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Play fake. Damon Williams looking downfield. He's gonna lomit deep
down for the tight end. It's kind of quite far
and he tumbles into the end zone. Touchdown Washington thirty
two yards to Quint Moore, the senior playing his fortieth
and final Washington Husky game.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
His second career touchdown.

Speaker 6 (25:26):
Husky Doc postgame show sponsored by Chevy Tracks Bigger and Boulder,
just like the Northwest Tracks is the small suv that
gives you amazing style and all the tech at an
unbelievable price. Good to see a couple seniors gentlemen go
out with touchdowns. You heard the Quinton Moore there one
catch thirty two yards got the touchdown. What an up

(25:47):
and down career it has been for Quinton Moore at
the University of Washington. That amazingly unforgettable and unfortunate injury
he suffered when was a bowling Green.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
Dude comes off.

Speaker 6 (25:59):
The sidelines, I can't remember, takes his knee out. I
want to say it was bowling Green.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
And then, uh, remember jonahicle last year?

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Last year?

Speaker 5 (26:09):
When it last year?

Speaker 1 (26:10):
It was last yeareah Yeah at the beginning of the season.

Speaker 6 (26:12):
And then and then Jonah Coleman getting a touchdown as
well in his final game as I was cool to see.

Speaker 7 (26:16):
The Quinton Moore touchdown was hands down my favorite moment
of the game today. To see a young man out
of Inglemore High School in kim Moore, Washington, who had
to go to junior college route didn't have a father figure,
you know, growing up to give him positive direction, So
he took some detours right, had to go through the

(26:37):
junior college route, gets to the University of Washington, has
the huge, huge moment, gets Oregon in the Pac twelve
Championship to secure the game winning touchdown there and just
the exhilaration of that, and then the very next year
losing his coach, and then he's lining up for a
senior year and he gets taken out by a dirty
play on the sidelines by a player running in the

(26:58):
middle of the play. For him to fight back and
then have that moment today and I understand why he
got the fifteen yard penalty on that touchdown.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
They flagged him for spiking.

Speaker 7 (27:09):
Out, but he spiked the ball so hard because all
of that just, you know, everything that he's gone through,
and that moment, the emotions came out, and I was
so happy for that young man.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
I for one, think that that.

Speaker 7 (27:20):
Play in itself showed though Mario his ability to catch
the football.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
It was a great route.

Speaker 7 (27:26):
He actually made a wide receiver s type catch, you know,
showed some speed and we know he's a really good blocker.
So I hope that that young man who just had
a daughter about nine months ago, by the way, became
a dad, has an opportunity to play in the NFL.
So that was my favorite moment of the game. And
I am happy for Jonah Coleman that he didn't end
his career on a fumble, which was the first one.
I think he said that that was the first fumble

(27:48):
of his entire college career, which is crazy if it was.
And then he got to come back he hit to
touchdown after a tough season. So those are my two
favorite plays hands down there.

Speaker 6 (27:57):
You're right, Mario was Weaver State. I don't know where
I got Bowling Green. I just like to pull that
out of nowhere.

Speaker 8 (28:02):
Yeah, Bowling Green has always stood out in my mind,
so if we played him, I would be like.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
Yeah, I gotcha.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, both of those moments.

Speaker 8 (28:11):
Greg is great for the seniors to go because we
look at these bowl games and now a lot of
times seniors don't play if it doesn't mean anything. But
those those guys and Quinton his journey has been something
to pay attention to and you root for somebody like that.
His touchdown was great because I was positive the mom
was gonna go to Boston on the other side of

(28:33):
the crossing route. But for him to throw that and
Quentin did make a nice grab. I thought the spike
was to Gronk since it was the Gronk Bowl. It
was a perfect spike. It wasn't as good as Gronk,
but it was a nice one. We'll take those fifteen.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yards for him.

Speaker 8 (28:48):
And Jonah was again this year has been disappointing for him.
To see him get out there. Coach is a wonderful coach.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
I love.

Speaker 8 (28:56):
Coach is loyalty to his guys. He made sure that
Jonah got out there. He actually looked pretty quick out there.
He only got twelve carries, almost ninety yards. If he
had have fed in the ball, yeah he had one hundred.
But to get a touchdown. Watching the seniors go out
like that when the bowl games aren't necessarily as important
as before is great to see.

Speaker 6 (29:16):
No question about a time now to talk a little
bit of defense, and it's time to bring the heat.
The Hypher Heat Defensive Player of the Game powered by
Mitsubishi Heating and Air Conditioning. Find your local Home Comfort
MVP on Ducklasshomecomfort dot Com. Guys, are we all in agreement?
What do you think greg I got x Ray? Alexander
Sir was all over the field.

Speaker 7 (29:37):
He had the first big interception, first of his season,
and he had a sack. He had a bunch of
open field tackles. The kid was all over the place.
He almost had a second interception. I just thought he
had a fantastic football game. So that's my guy. You know,
Mario has a tendency to pick the same guy every week,
so I don't know if he's in alignment with us,
But who's.

Speaker 5 (29:57):
He pick every week?

Speaker 1 (29:58):
McLaughlin.

Speaker 7 (29:59):
He's picked him like seven He's picking McLoughlin thirteen times.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
He might have deserved it, like thirteen times out of twelve.

Speaker 8 (30:06):
Out of our twelve or thirteen games, he's led the
team and tackles at least ten times. So I go
with him because he's always been the playmaker. But he
wasn't out there making as many plays today. I wasn't
even sure he played.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Because I didn't see him.

Speaker 8 (30:19):
But you can always go x Ray. But the other
guy got two picks, and that was Bryant. I thought
those two picks were very important to our team. But
x Ray was a guy that was all over the field.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
That's the thing about our defense.

Speaker 6 (30:31):
I'm gonna make one more comment about the mister B
plus over for Ryan Walters.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
What guys on our defense or stud.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
That was part of my argument that this weighting.

Speaker 5 (30:44):
There's no first team all big ten dudes.

Speaker 6 (30:46):
There's no first round draft picks, there's probably no second
round draft picks. They might have no third round draft picks.
And all they do is whole team is like fourteen.

Speaker 7 (30:54):
Points and there's no great athlete stud on the outside.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
In the passer.

Speaker 7 (31:00):
Yet Mario wants him to have fifty sacks a game,
and he complains that they puts you know today, they
player against had sacks today. It was the pressure that
they generate to me, more than the actual sack numbers
that you know, defines his ability as a coach to
work with the talent that he does or doesn't have.

(31:23):
So I think my grave Mario is partly based on
who he has, you know.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
To work with.

Speaker 5 (31:29):
That front seven's got no top three.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
It's really just a solid stop stop.

Speaker 7 (31:38):
I can say the deepest I said his coaching job,
because coaching job isn't just.

Speaker 8 (31:42):
That you have to manufacture ways to the ones he got,
all the ones we got Mario all the season was
his manufacturing is all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
No, wasn't wasn't there.

Speaker 8 (31:57):
He didn't deserve it, definitely not a.

Speaker 6 (32:01):
All right, all right, Well, the corners, I mean to Caryobia,
what a second ish round pick third probably third price
socked on the combine.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Guys make their statement at the.

Speaker 7 (32:16):
They go run a four to four of the combine
at that side and size yeah, and they're fully healthy.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
They could move up, certainly. But I think I think
the turnovers, even with the corners.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
Mario, I think, you know, it really depends on how
many times does the offense go after a particular corner.
If you're lockdown, shut down type of guy and they're
not going after you, you're not gonna get the big
turnover numbers.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
So I think that has something to do with it
as well.

Speaker 8 (32:42):
I only seen one team really go out of our corners,
so I thought our corners played shut down the entire
season exactly exactly.

Speaker 6 (32:50):
Well, statistically, it was marvelous today for Washington, Demond Williams
tying a Husky record with four touchdown passes on just
twenty four attempts. Jonah Coleman twelve for eighty five one touchdown,
Denzel six for one twenty six.

Speaker 5 (33:04):
In the touchdown and then the defense.

Speaker 6 (33:06):
My god, Boise State rushing attack twenty eight carries for fifty.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
Eight yards two point one yard per carry for Boise State.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
In the passing attack, I mean they got about seventy
five of the two hundred and fifty three.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
Yards in like the last four minutes of the game.

Speaker 6 (33:22):
One touchdown, five interceptions for the two quarterbacks. Mattox Madson
had to go out in the second early second half
because his knee got or his lower it leg got
banged up again. Max Cutford came in fifteen to twenty
seven to one touchdown, three interceptions. We come back, final
Husky Honk postgame show segment of the season and we'll

(33:42):
kind of look ahead to twenty twenty six.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
We'll do it next.

I'm sure he'll be with me over at Luminfield tomorrow
for the Seahawks game. Dick Fane with you for the
final segment of the final Husky Talk post game show
of the year. And gentlemen, let's first talk about needs
for this team is so, you know, some people think

(36:00):
it's awful, some people think it's fun that, hey, this
football team has got some holes going into next season.
Not a lot of them, not gaping ones, but they
still have some. And guess what, you can just snap
your fingers right at check and film. So let's talk
about some of those needs, the ones that jumped out
to me, and we'll see if you want to add
or subtract or you know, mitigate some of these the

(36:23):
tackle position, because I don't know if you really want
to count on Cody Green as a true freshman to
come in and start right away. Maybe you do cornerback
depending on the situation with Tacario and Ephesians, price sock
like you mentioned earlier, Greg defensive line, give me a
freaking pass rusher?

Speaker 5 (36:40):
Please?

Speaker 6 (36:41):
Can we pay for a pass rusher to come in
here and then running back? I like Adam Muhammad a lot.
I like Jordan Washington, but I think you know you
might need one other guy there, Mario, Is that your list?

Speaker 5 (36:52):
Do you have additions, subtractions, concerns for next year?

Speaker 8 (36:55):
I have the same list as you, just maybe one difference.
I have offensive line. We need some a couple of
pieces we could use. Defensive line. We definitely need a
pass rusher. We need somebody in the defensive line. With
our two corners, we don't know our situation. We need
somebody on that outside, so we need a corner. And
then the other one is receiver, like we just talked

(37:16):
about earlier. You don't know what our receivers are gonna be.
I like the I like the Jordan Washington is that
his name. I like Jordan Washington and Adam Muhammad. I
think we have some some running back. So just a
little difference from you offensive line, defensive line, a corner
and the receiver.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
It's kind of the Detroit Lions backfield for next year. Right.
You use Jordan Washington like Jamiir Gibbs, you can use
you can you.

Speaker 6 (37:40):
Can use Adam Muhammad like Montgomery and a little fire
and nights there.

Speaker 7 (37:44):
Wait till you guys see Brian Bonner. Brian, but freshman
running back that's coming in next year. One of the
positions that Marios agree with us in the past that
can come in and make an impact and start or
be a really good player. The freshman is running back
because a lot of it is, you know, the guy's
got to learn, you know, the past, protection and stuff
like that. Brian Bonner is a really good player. I

(38:06):
think with Brian Bonner, Washington and Adam Mohammad, I think
you got really good running backs. I think the number
one on offense upgrade you really need is is a
number one wide receiver. I think the offensive line, I
think you're actually going to be competing for who gets
to start out of all the pieces you have, see
you can move a John Mills out to tackle. He

(38:28):
started at tackle this year, right, if Gary Hatchett has
another year that he can come back.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
So now you got Drew as a.

Speaker 7 (38:36):
Party, right, you got John Mills, you got Hatchet coming back.
You got Cody Green, arguably one of the best offensive
linemen on the West Coast coming back. Then you have
our guards who played quite a bit this year. I'm
packi Fiedl right, and then the big guy who the
big Politician kid who was a freshman this year that

(38:57):
ended up starting a couple of games. I think you
actually have seven guys because the backup center, outside of
two bad snaps that he had, he started the last
three games and the off and that's played well. So
I think he got seven guys who could start for
five positions. The obvious upgrade that we need is the
defensive line, the tackles and the defensive ends of rust guys.

(39:20):
That's where you gotta find an opportunity to get some
guys who are play makers and difference makers. We do
have some really good freshmen coming in, but I think
does oh gosh, not Ontario Thompson.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
What's the other defense tackle? Uh?

Speaker 7 (39:36):
Coming back leaving, but oh gosh, not not Ontario Thompson.
I'm trying to remember his nat Lenius Davis. I think
he played really well this year. You got him coming back,
and you have a couple of guys that you're recruiting
and are good, but you gotta go pay for a
stud defensive tackle and you need a stud rust guy.
If you can get those two things down, I think you'll,

(39:59):
you know, have a great op.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Odds.

Speaker 7 (40:02):
In my mind, one of the corners was gonna come back,
one of them. I think one be here back if
one of those guys come back. And safety wise, I mean,
I think our safety is gonna be better next year
because old Faithful coming back.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
But the hot head, the real aggressive kid, is not
Dylan Allen. Is that his name?

Speaker 7 (40:24):
Yeah, they call him Batman or something like that, Dylan
Dylan Allen. I think he's gonna be better than Michelstein.
I think that he's a football player's compressive. He loves
to hit. So I think you're looking at coming back.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Your linebacker room is two full, Buddha.

Speaker 7 (40:45):
I mean, if Bryant he wasn't there today, So that's
making me wonder he's in the portal.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
That's what I thought.

Speaker 7 (40:51):
He must have jumped into portal because when he probably
saw him, Jacob, Jacob, my news is gonna They probably
told him, Jacob, my new is gonna start. So in
his mind, if he's coming back and he's starting a day,
that means he's gonna obviously be the guy next year
and all these So the linebacker room man would have
been it would have been too full with like you said,
with him. So I think there's really you're a defensive

(41:14):
tackle and a couple of rust guys and a number
one receiver away from being in the top three four
teams in the Big Ten.

Speaker 5 (41:21):
We're gonna have jet Fish coaching this team next year.

Speaker 6 (41:23):
What's your level of confidence right now that Jetfish doesn't
sneak on over to ann Arbor.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (41:28):
I just keep saying he wants Demon Williams and what
I do see from coach, and when I love from coaches,
his loyalty to his guys, like but everybody has a price.
But I still see him staying, Yeah, Michigan's quarterback. They
paid a lot for him, ten million, I think is
the words. So if Demon Williams wouldn't be able to
go with him, I don't necessarily know that he's inted

(41:49):
his future. I just don't think he's going to leave
with this job undone. And I think his true destination
that he wants is the NFL. And if you can
stay here at Washington and get this team back to
prominence and have a great year, great run next year
and the year after, I think that squarely puts you
in those conversations. So I don't you know, I said,

(42:12):
I remember when a reporter asked me after Nick Saban,
you know it announced, you know, did I think our
coach would go to Alabama?

Speaker 7 (42:20):
I was like, absolutely, I don't think there's any question.
I don't feel that same way about Jed Fish. I
think he's probably fourth or fifth on Michigan's list. If
he's on it, yeah, that means three or four other
guys got to turn it down, and then he's got
to think that that's gonna give him a better chance
to get to, you know, the NFL, where I think
he wants to be.

Speaker 6 (42:39):
Ultimately, you gotta believe our old coach is higher than
Jedfish on the list.

Speaker 5 (42:42):
Is he gonna go from Alabama to Michigan?

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Mario?

Speaker 8 (42:44):
I can't see why you would, and a lot depends
on how these playoffs go. Bbama's still in there and
he can make a deep run. They beat Georgia before.
I think they have all the talent in the world,
and I can't see Michigan having as much a talent
as as Alabama. Now, the money, Like, he already got
paid a lot of money, So what's what's the money.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
I don't think it's the money, Mario.

Speaker 7 (43:06):
What I think it is is he might look and
see that his tenure at Alabama might be teetering.

Speaker 8 (43:12):
On the said it's a lot dependent on the playoffs. Well,
I'm just saying if they lose.

Speaker 5 (43:17):
Every time he uses it. But think about it, they
want him fire if.

Speaker 7 (43:21):
They lose this playoff game. He probably won't get fired,
but he will be squarely on the hot seat next year.
So he's got to look at if I get if
I get fired, if I get fired next year, all
of these great jobs like Michigan are going to be gone.
So do I do a preemptive strike and take the job. Now,

(43:42):
that's the only reason why I think he might do it.
He's making a preemptive strike that if I get fired next.

Speaker 5 (43:48):
Year, I think it would be the right move.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
He's going to get fired to be Michigan.

Speaker 5 (43:56):
He doesn't fit at Alabama and guy in Michigan.

Speaker 8 (44:01):
Jobs keep coming open every year college football. College sports
has changed dramatically, But how many.

Speaker 6 (44:09):
Jobs are on are higher than Alabama? Like three or
four in Michigan might be one of them?

Speaker 1 (44:14):
None? None, none in college football, so they stay.

Speaker 5 (44:17):
In ajn Io. You don't think there's anybody harder than Alabama, Georgia.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
I don't think Michigan is. You know why? You know why?

Speaker 7 (44:24):
I would think Michigan is better than Alabama football wise,
Alabama might have the slight edge right money wise, they
can probably both do the same. I wouldn't want to
live in tuscaloosave. I would much rather mich Hey, I
would rather live there than Tsalusive. I'm just telling you,
I would rather live in closer to Detroit than Thing

(44:47):
is about competition and what you want.

Speaker 8 (44:49):
Like coach, there's something that's a fire in him that
does not want to leave, Like he went there for
a reason and to leave Alabama after three years is
like he's defeated. Yeah, I feel like some of that
he wants to compete and stay in Bama because he
when he went to Bama, he was thinking there was
no greater job in college football than Alabama. For him

(45:10):
to be gone in three years, it would really be
based on the Alabama tiedes alumni saying get out of here.

Speaker 5 (45:17):
Just that's right, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 6 (45:19):
Well we'll wrap things up back with our team here
in Seattle. Let's look at the schedule for twenty twenty
six real quick. Here's your home games Iowa, Minnesota, Penn
State three non conference in Indiana without the Heisman Trophy winner,
That to me seems really close to a potential run

(45:41):
the table.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
Situation at home looks like it.

Speaker 7 (45:44):
I mean, you can manage that. I think what Signetti
has shown is that he's a really.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
He's a great coach. That's going to be a ball game.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
He would have got that quarterback from somewhere else.

Speaker 6 (45:52):
But is that Indiana team going to be better than
the Ohio State team that came in this year?

Speaker 1 (45:58):
No?

Speaker 5 (45:58):
And who's going to be better the Washington team next year?
The Washington team this year?

Speaker 1 (46:02):
You see, this is the thing.

Speaker 7 (46:03):
You can't say that right now because you gotta wait
to all that I got could go out in the
portal and pick up seven of the best players in
the country and a great quarterback and be better next
year because I think they got the right guy coaching that.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
That dude is a ball. Yeah, he's a football.

Speaker 5 (46:19):
He's a jackass, but he's a good coach.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
He's a I don't I don't know him.

Speaker 7 (46:24):
I can say he's he's a little arrogant, he's got
That's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
No, I'm not like that. I'm humbled.

Speaker 7 (46:31):
I told you my best two qualities. That's my humility
and my good looks. I'm super humble. This is my
best boys.

Speaker 6 (46:41):
And then your road games for next year in Michigan State, Nebraska, Purdue,
and then the two Big ones Oregon and USC. I mean, guys,
this is a this is a very very possible ten
and two situation. You take care of business, it's a ten. Well,
I don't know if it's easy, but it's a very
possible ten and two situation, which means in the Big
ten you were a playoff team.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Does Dante More leaf at the end of this year?
I don't think so. He's projected.

Speaker 7 (47:07):
He's he's right now graded by most people's the number
one or two quarterback in the draft.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Right, I think is gonna go one.

Speaker 7 (47:13):
It's Mendoza and him are the one to two one everybody, everybody.

Speaker 6 (47:18):
I'm not a huge Dante Morgan. I think my point
guy that's just as good as.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
My point is is there.

Speaker 7 (47:24):
Well, but then it's a new guy though, right, he's
got to learn off. My point is this. I think
Oregon is not as good next year as they are
this year. I think USC is necessarily not as good
next year as they are this year. I think Washington
will be better. But you gotta look at it this way.

(47:45):
We could still make the playoff if we lose two
big ten games. So you look on the schedule, is
it Oregon Indiana? I mean, well, there's really only three.
It's Oregon, USC Indiana.

Speaker 6 (47:58):
There's nobody else unless you throw out a Wisconsin Again,
you can't lose the Isoway. There's no other teams that
should even come close to beating you. Because if we've
seen one thing from Demon Williams, he kicks the crap
out of mediocre and bad football.

Speaker 7 (48:13):
Iowa was not gonna be an easy win. I mean,
good defensive team, solid, but they're here.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Yeah, it's here.

Speaker 7 (48:18):
But I'm just saying it's not gonna be easy when
you can't you can't mess up. You can't stub your
toe that day. So they're gonna the USC game, you know,
down there on the road. You're gonna have to still
come to play because they're gonna have talented roster and
USC number one recruiting class in the country, number one.

Speaker 6 (48:34):
You just have to win all the games that you're
gonna be touchdown or more favorites. Yeah, and then you
have to win one of the three against the big dudes.

Speaker 7 (48:44):
Yeah, well, one of three, you gotta win one. You
have a chance to be win one of three. You're
guaranteed if you win two out of that.

Speaker 8 (48:49):
I still don't even consider s C is a top team,
Like I just haven't seen it.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
Yeah, I hear.

Speaker 7 (48:54):
It's just you're going down there playing him in California.
They're gonna have a lot of offensive talent on their
ball team and it could be a she remember a
couple of years ago, big time shootout.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
I see it being something like that.

Speaker 6 (49:06):
Ye, gentlemen, great stuff this year. Good work, good work
with Softy, good work with me. We appreciate. I love
seeing you guys in the office every Tuesday, bringing your
butts into the station every Tuesday to see you guys
for the Husky Hawks.

Speaker 5 (49:19):
But hey, we finished.

Speaker 6 (49:21):
Off final thoughts, guys, we finished off on the nine
to four on a good note, a four touchdown win.
Did what you're supposed to do against the Mountain West champions.

Speaker 7 (49:30):
It's season three of Jetfish era. To me, the first
year he had to make us relevant. The second year
had to show improvement and that we have the guy
at quarterback. This is year three. This is the year
that we have to go and compete for a Big
Ten championship. I'm excited going in the next year because
I think if we make the right moves in the portal,
we keep growing and getting better, that we have a shot.

(49:52):
No excuses next year. No, he had no guys when
he came in. All that's irrelevant. Now it's his team.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
He's got his quarterback who will be experienced.

Speaker 7 (50:02):
So I'm excited about what twenty twenty six has for
the Husky football program.

Speaker 8 (50:06):
Yeah, exactly the same thing. Coach Fish. Wonderful recruiter to
be his third year. He has his guys, he has
his quarterback. Looking forward to see the jump for demand
from his sophomore to junior year and see like there
is no excuses anymore.

Speaker 6 (50:21):
So.

Speaker 8 (50:22):
I said earlier this season at the beginning of the
year that Demon was must see TV. Didn't quite turn
out like that, but the jump from his sophomore to
junior year, I'm expecting that everybody will want to see
Demon and Coach Fish will be calling some great plays.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
So looking forward to next year.

Speaker 6 (50:37):

Travis Mooger back in the studio, Dick Fans saying so
