The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - break down the top storylines for tonight's game between Washington and UCLA, set for a 7:30 pm kickoff at the Rose Bowl.For Washington, it's their first road game under Kalen DeBoer. It will be their first game on grass. For UCLA, this will be their first true test after playing Bowling Green, Alabama State, South Alabama, and Colorado.The first segment starts with Michael Penix Jr. and how he is putting together a season worth early Heisman Trophy consideration. Just how big an addition has Penix been to an offense that struggled mightily last season but hasn't been stopped so far this year?And when talking about UW's offense versus UCLA's defense, the talk turns to former Husky Laiatu Latu, who is tearing it up with the Bruins. He earned Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week honors for his play at Colorado. How did he end up at Westwood after not being cleared by the Washington doctors? And will Latu line up against Jaxson Kirkland, or Roger Rosengarten?Speaking of the offensive line, what has gotten into them? The same players that have kept Penix upright and firing on all cylinders is the same group of players that really struggled to lead anything on offense last season.One other thing; UW OC Ryan Grubb coached against UCLA in the Rose Bowl last season with Fresno State, a game they won 40-37. But the Bruins have a new DC and new defensive coaches like Ken Norton Jr. and former UW player and coach Ikaika Malloe. How will that chess match go within the football game?After a quick break, talk turns to the matchup of UCLA's offense versus Washington's defense. It all starts with QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson for the Bruins, as well as RB Zach Charbonnet. What is the guys' take on DTR? And can UW's defense contain them enough to allow Washington's offense to go to work? And which players will the Huskies lean on to get the Bruins on the ground?There's one more quick pause to pay some bills, and then Scott and Kim provide recruiting updates and then the three of them give their final game thoughts before wrapping things up.
