The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were on hand to witness Demond Williams record-setting night as the Washington Huskies beat Rutgers 38-19 Friday night at Husky Stadium.

The sophomore quarterback threw for over 400 yards and set the record for the most total yardage in a single game while another record-setter - Charles "E.T." Frederick was on hand to watch. Frederick still holds the UW All-Time Single Game All-Purpose yardage record. Frederick was at the game for teammate Reggie Williams, who is part of the 2025 UW Hall of Fame class.

Besides Williams' fantastic night, the guys also talked about another slow start for the Huskies, which found them down 10-0 after the first quarter, their fight back to be down only three at the half, and then the monstrous second half by the UW offense. After only generating 80 yards through the first 15 minutes of play, the Huskies finished the night with 579 yards of total offense.

They talked about the decision to hold LB Jacob Manu out while giving a chance for true freshman Zaydrius Rainey-Sale to get his first snaps in as a Husky. They also talked about how the left side of the offensive line did as Paki Finau made his first career start and Maximus McCree started for the second-straight game for Carver Willis.

The guys also talked about the game within the context of the Seattle Mariners' historic 14-inning win over the Detroit Tigers, a game that started before the Rutgers-UW game and ended well after the Huskies had finished off the Scarlet Knights.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - turned the coffee machine on extra early this morning, so early in fact that they gave Kim Grinolds the morning off after he returned from a long trip back east to cover the Maryland game and Big Ten Basketball Media Days.

And Kim needs to catch up on his sleep because today has the potential to be a famous day in Seattle sports. Not because of a Washington win over Rutgers, but a Mariners playoff triumph over the Tigers to win the American League Division Series.

Let's just say the traffic in and around Seattle is going to be a bit rough with the Mariners game starting at 5 pm local time, an hour before the start of the Rutgers-Washington game.

A silver lining? The rain looks to stay away during the games.

During the 70-minute pregame show, the following topics were discussed:

Will Jacob Manu play or not, depending on whether he still plans on redshirting this season?
The matchup between UW's offense and Rutgers' defense.
Will Maximus McCree start again? And who would back him up?
Should Rutgers spy Demond Williams?
The matchup between Rutgers' offense and UW's defense.
How big would it be to get Tacario Davis back tonight?
Could tonight be the UW debut of freshman Zaydrius Rainey-Sale, and if so, how would he be used?
Recruiting update, including two committed players who are unofficially visiting.
Final Thoughts.

Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies return home from Maryland with their first B1G Conference win in program history after an epic comeback win over the Terrapins. As is the new weekly tradition, former interns Jack and Luke take to the microphones to share their thoughts.

They begin with providing letter grades for Washington's performance in College Park, which was difficult to do given how different the two halves looked. 

Next, Jack and Luke pick one player on each side of the ball to have a stand out performance in The Huskies' upcoming Friday night showdown against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. For last week's contest, their picks included Denzel Boston, Jacob Manu, and Decker DeGraaf - so they may have cracked the prediction code!

Next, they will take to their Betting B1G segment, each picking three lines for B1G conference games for the upcoming week. Both Jack and Luke were 2-1 last week; however, Luke still holds the lead with an excellent 10-5 record for the year.

Lastly, they share their confidence interval that Washington will improve to 5-1 this weekend.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - break down the main talking points after Washington's improbable 24-20 win at previously-unbeaten Maryland Saturday afternoon at SECU Stadium in College Park, MD. It's the first time Washington had come back from at least 20 points on the road since winning at California in 1993. That's crazy, right? 

And that was probably the biggest one of them all; how did they go from looking so awful in the first half to so dominant in the second half? And how did they make Maryland, who is a pretty good team anyway, look like they could compete for a Big Ten title in the first half and then completely shut them down for their last four offensive series and make true freshman phenom Malik Washington look positively human?

Here are the topics we touched on during our 35-minute recap.

- Kim setting the scene and the atmosphere in what was billed as a 'sold out' SECU Stadium, the first apparent sell-out in years.
- Why did Washington come out of the blocks like they were sleep-walking?
- Demond Williams and how he was able to go from his first-half struggles to second-half dominance.
- Did it ever get bad enough to warrant a conversation about giving backup QB Kai Horton a series?
- No Zach Durfee and Deshawn Lynch stepping up as the 'next man'.
- Offensive line issues, especially on the left side with no Carver Willis to start and John Mills getting hurt during the game.
- How winning a game in the manner they did can help UW down the road.
- Kim talking with UW Road Captain Todd Bachert and his Dad Bruce.
- Final Thoughts.

After bringing the Apple Cup back to Seattle, the Washington Huskies prepare to hose the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes on Montlake this Saturday. Prior to this weekend's momentous tilt, Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger sync up to break it all down.

The former interns begin by taking a look at Washington's 59-24 win over Washington State in Pullman last weekend. Both assign letter grades to the overall performance, share what they believe went well and discuss some areas for improvement.

Afterwards, the duo share a couple of storylines each they are looking forward to seeing play out on Saturday at 12:30 PM local time at Husky Stadium. There were plenty of topics to choose from, including Ohio State freshman starting quarterback Julian Sayin making his first road start at The Greatest Setting in College Football, as well as Ohio State's talented playmakers potentially taking on an injury-depleted Washington defense. There's no shortage of intrigue leading up to this showdown.

Next, Jack and Luke select their Bets to Bark for the weekend, picking an offensive and defensive player to make a statement. I'll give you a hint: one of the players selected through for nearly 300 yards last week against the Cougs, while rushing for nearly 100 more.

Then they take a break from this upcoming game to do their Betting B1G segment. Luke is dominating this competition so far, as he's picked eight of his nine games correctly. Jack, on the other hand, is just 1-8 on the year but is due to get hot!

Lastly, both gentlemen assign a numeric value to their confidence level that Washington will shock the nation and knock off the top seed at home.
