The guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters in Seattle - were joined by Kim Grinolds, who was en route from Bloomington to catch a flight back to the Emerald City from Indianapolis - to break down Washington's 31-14 loss to the No. 13 Indiana Hoosiers.

Starting with the first couple of offensive series, it was clear Indiana wasn't going to mess around with their front. They were averaging 3 sacks and over 6 tackles for loss per game and that's exactly what they got Saturday against the Huskies. And the pick-six from IU's D'Angelo Ponds really put Washington behind early in many ways.

But to Washington's credit, they were able to keep things close and finished the first half strong with a fantastic goal line stand to hold IU to a field goal and a 10-point halftime edge.

The guys talk about Will Rogers and his game, which was definitely a rough one when it came to decision-making and also staying in the pocket against a fierce IU rush. It didn't help matters that Washington had to mix and match as best they could along the offensive line, and a lot of it didn't work out that well, as the Huskies finished a combined 4-14 on third and fourth down.

After a quick break the guys get back after it and talk about the unreal start UW had via Jacob Bandes' pick to set up an eventual Demond Williams 8-yard scamper for six. At that point the Huskies were only down three.

But give Indiana Head Coach Curt Cignetti credit. He knew they had the horses up front and the running backs to wear Washington's defensive front out, and that's exactly what the home team did. Including the last drive of the second quarter, three of the last six IU offensive drives went for over 6 minutes, and two of those drives went for over 7:30 to put the game out of reach.

And that also doesn't account for arguably the biggest play of the game, a 65-yard punt return IU's Myles Price to give Indiana the ball inside of Washington's 15-yard line. The subsequent touchdown with just under 9 minutes to play gave the Hoosiers a three-score lead, effectively putting the game out of reach.

Before the guys end the podcast, they debate a question that was immediately asked during and after the game; should Demond Williams be handed the keys for the rest of the season? Two of the guys said no, one argued it might be the thing to do. Which way are you leaning?
