DawgmanRadio: Our Northwestern Pregame Show!

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got up early this morning to exorcise the remaining demons that popped up during Washington's 24-19 Apple Cup loss, shoving that game finally to the side once and for all, and then getting to the game at hand, the Huskies hosting the Northwestern Wildcats.It's a bit of history, as Northwestern and Washington have already played three times, but today's game marks the first ever Big Ten Conference game for the Huskies. What are the guys looking for when judging UW's response to their first adversity of the season?Kim is going to be looking to see how the Huskies come out of the tunnel for their pregame warmups; Chris wants to see how they do at the line of scrimmage, and Scott is looking to see if they can finally solve the problem of their slow starts.The guys talk about the offense, the run game behind Jonah Coleman and the passing game and the somewhat surprising development that Giles Jackson has become Will Rogers' go-to receiver instead of either Denzel Boston or Jeremiah Hunter.They also talk a little bit about Washington's injury situation with Carson Bruener (questionable) and Quentin Moore (doubtful).After a quick break, the guys go further with their game points, including what they need to see when it comes to eliminating a big problem with penalties, as well as cleaning up their cover on special teams.Talk turns to Brandon Roy sounding the siren and today's Husky Legend, Tank Johnson. Did you know Tank was a volleyball star in high school? And there's a definite reason why BRoy is being involved in today's pregame festivities; it has to do with recruiting.Speaking of recruiting, Scott provides an update on the number of 2025 commits visiting Montlake this weekend, as well as top 2026 stars. And then they go through their final thoughts before closing the show.
