Huskies Aim Big in Season Opener | Washington Huskies Football News

The Huskies are primed to dominate in their 2026 season opener against Washington State, ranked 17th and favored by over 23 points. Coach Jedd Fisch is confident as the team focuses on three key goals: establishing a powerful running game led by star QB Demond Williams Jr. and a dynamic RB committee headed by Quaid Carr, building on last year’s stout defense under Ryan Walters, and proving they can compete with elite teams early. With Williams needing to justify his $4M payday and Carr poised to carry the load alongside elite blockers, this game is about making a statement — not just to voters and recruits, but to prove they’re ready for Big Ten battles.
