SEATTLE – When the Washington Huskies headed into spring football a year ago, they had a first-year coach with an impressive resume but real questions about his ability to execute a quick turnaround.

First things first: Ohio State’s decision to cancel its home-and-home football series with Washington in 2024 and 2025 stinks on an ethical level.

It’s the 46-year-old Lake’s first coaching job since being fired by Washington on Nov. 14, 2021, after 13 games at the helm. The North Central High School and Eastern Washington University graduate went 7-6 as UW’s head coach in 2020 and 2021, after previously excelling as the Huskies’ defensive backs coach (2004, 2014-15), co-defensive coordinator (2016-17) and defensive coordinator (2018-19).

You know what they say: If you have two quarterbacks, you don’t have one. And if you only have two, you don’t have enough.

The hottest team at the end of ’22 is the pick to win it all in ’23.

SEATTLE – It’s addition by subtraction … and then more addition.

SEATTLE – The concept of “unfinished business” is a constantly regurgitated sports cliché.

SEATTLE – It’s time for Dylan Morris to prioritize his career.

The Pac-12 title game could be in Anchorage or Punxsutawney or the center of Siberia, and Kalen DeBoer would still want to be there next year. The Huskies’ football coach seems like the type who would give a small appendage for his team to have a chance to win its conference.
