Dawgman Radio: A Washington Huskies athletics podcast

On if the Oregon State game was his best game as a Husky... That's the standard I want to live by. I expect to play that way every week. Definitely a good game for me, but something to build off of and not just rest on it.

On what has made the difference for him... Getting my technique down, being smarter. Getting stronger. This is only my fourth season of playing D-line, so I've learned a lot of things that have helped me along the way.

On shutting down UCLA and playing up to expectations... My motivation is to hold up the standard that Greg Gaines, Vita Vea, Levi Onwuzurike have set here. We expect to play better and that's what we're tyring to do.

On playing mobile QBs... This week we have a really good QB. He likes to run and take advantage of space. We need to play disciplined football and stay in our lanes.

On how the losses have impacted the team so far... We know who we are. The coaches push us. The energy is high and we can't let that get us down. Still a lot of football to be played and a lot of things to play for. We have the energy going and we are practicing well.

On players bringing energy and which ones do that best... Brendan Radley-Hiles brings the energy, shows how tough we are; Edefuan Ulofoshio is a beast. He's always bringing the energy; Trent McDuffie is a beast too. So explosive and a leader.

On Ulofoshio... Always happy, always lots of energy. His tone doesn't change. He's got a lot of juice.

On where his nickname "Taki" comes from... My grandpa called me that when I was a little guy and it just stuck.

On Jordan Lolohea and his relationship with him... We're from the same area, super close, good friends, took some time off from football, so when he got here, I helped him understand what he needed to do and that it will get hard here, but you stick with it and you'll have success.

On his mindset throughout his time on campus... I just try to keep my mind right. We compete. I just keep my head down and try to do my best.

On things he wants to do better... Tackling. There's lots of things, but tackling is the biggest thing. Getting down the finer points and details are important too.

On his thought process when he sees the ball in the air... The Oregon State pick was on my second play of the game and against BYU (in 2019) it was up in the air and I just went up and got it. I don't really think out there when the ball is in the air.

On his wide receiver skills and why he chose defense... There were only a few schools who offered me as a receiver. When I was going through the recruiting process, that helped me narrow things down because I wanted to play DB. I didn't decide until my senior year where I wanted to play in college, but I love playing DB.

On Dorian Thompson-Robinson being mobile... This is the best we've practiced all season. We've faced athletic quarterbacks, so it's nothing new for us, but he's a good quarterback and we're getting prepared.

On the bye week... Looking forward to this game no matter what. I don't think the players really needed a bye, but it's allowed us to get things down and we've practiced really well.

On the throwback jerseys... I actually haven't seen them in person yet, only on Instagram, but I'm excited about getting to wear them.

Washington Receivers Coach Junior Adams, freshman receiver Jalen McMillan, and senior running back Kamari Pleasant all spoke to the media ahead of UW's game this weekend versus UCLA.

On Monday, Washington Head Coach Jimmy Lake spoke with the UW media as the Huskies got back to business after the bye week. The team is preparing for UCLA and will be wearing 1991 National Championship throwbacks for the game.

Lake spoke on a number of subjects, including UCLA, the return of Zion Tupuola-Fetui to practice, the work behind the scenes during the bye week, going out to recruit for the first time in 16 months, and a lot more.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Aaron Beach - take time out during this football BYE week to gear up for some hoops talk, specifically previewing the men's basketball team.

What can UW fans expect from the team this season, especially with how poorly they played last year? They were 5-21, including 4-16 in the conference. Gone are Marcus Tsohonis, Nate Pryor, Erik Stevenson, Hameir Wright, Raequan Battle, J'Raan Brooks, and Quade Green.

Fetters and Beach first talk about Mike Hopkins and what he did in the offseason to put the Huskies in a position to taste success. He made some big moves within his coaching staff, as Cameron Dollar and Dave Rice left and Wyking Jones and Quincy Pondexter took their place alongside Hopkins and Will Conroy.

Then they talk about the huge roster revamp, starting with the backcourt. Terrell Brown, Daejon Davis, and P.J. Fuller take over for Green, Tsohonis, and Stevenson.

Talk then turns to the wings, with some discussion on Jamal Bey, Emmitt Matthews, Cole Bajema, and Samuel Ariyibi.

After a quick break to pay some bills, Fetters and Beach finish up their roster revamp preview by talking about the bigs, the men in the middle that will be counted on to protect the rim and start the transition. They have a number of options, with Nate Roberts, Riley Sorn, Langston Wilson, Jackson Grant.

And how will this revamped lineup fare in the Pac-12? In Beach's opinion, how many wins is this team capable of? And could they stun the league and get to 20 wins?

Over the past two days, Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund have recapped how the season countdown series morphed into a huge project for them. There was a lot of researching and talk amongst themselves about some of the names to focus on.

Today, they wrap up the series by talking about all of the jerseys from 49 all the way down to the number one that were donned by Husky greats. They discussed how some of the numbers lacked a large amount of names to write about, while others had so many names, they could have written a 4,000 word epic on the subject.

Some of the names discussed include Reggie Williams, Warren Moon, Jake Locker, Hugh Millen, Billy Joe Hobert, Donald Jones, Mario Bailey and many, many others.

Yesterday, we gave an overview of how we researched and produced the season countdown over the summer, starting at the end of May and going all the way up until the day before the first game of the season.

Today, Dawgman's Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters go through days 99 - 50, remembering some of the days/jerseys that featured some of the biggest names in Husky history. Steve Emtman, Lincoln Kennedy, Danny Shelton and Austin Seferian-Jenkins are just some of the names they talked about.

It's the bye week and since there isn't as much football business as their normally is, we thought it would be a great time to look back at some Husky history. Back in the summer, Chris Fetter and Scott Eklund sat down and counted down the 99 days until the start of the season, focusing on each jersey number and some of the top former players who had worn that number.

In part one of our podcast series, Eklund and Fetters talked about researching all of the names as well as some things they didn't know that they discovered during the series.

One was Don Coryell, one of the top offensive minds of the modern era of football. He played just one season for Washington, but went on to a storied coaching career with several teams including the San Diego Chargers which he took to two AFC title games.

They also discuss some of the toughest aspects of doing the series, including what numbers were the hardest for them to write about and why as well as the reasons certain players were written about while others were not.

Washington Head Coach Jimmy Lake met with the media Monday to recap his thoughts on UW's 27-24 last-second loss at Oregon State, as well as what the plan is for the program during their bye week. The Huskies have this week off and then will host the UCLA Bruins on October 16. Game time is set for 5:30 pm and will be televised on FOX.

The Washington Huskies suffered a 27-24 last-second defeat to Oregon State Saturday night, breaking a nine-game winning streak over the Beavers.

Washington Head Coach Jimmy Lake, running back Sean McGrew, and linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio spoke to the media after the game. McGrew led the Huskies with 104 yards and two touchdowns, while Ulofoshio led UW with 16 total tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss.
