Huskies Offense Struggles, Defense Shines | Washington Huskies Football News

The Huskies are in a rough patch offensively, dropping two spots after a close loss to Utah State — a team they were supposed to dominate. Mistakes pile up: dropped passes, fumbled handoffs, and shaky line play. Injuries have hit hard, sidelining key receivers and running backs, forcing freshmen and rehabbing players into high-pressure roles with costly errors. But there’s hope: the defense has stepped up dramatically, led by standout Alex McLaughlin, who’s racking up tackles, sacks, and interceptions. Plus, discipline is improving — penalties have plummeted since their disastrous opener. With key players returning soon and the defense holding strong, the Huskies still have time to find their groove and turn things around.
