About everything that could have gone wrong for Washington did go wrong in their 40-16 loss to Iowa in Iowa City Saturday morning. The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - break it all down from the opening UW drive.

When breaking things down on offense, the analysis appears pretty straightforward; it all went south on the offensive line. Starting left tackle Maximus McCree left the game with a hand injury during UW's first series of the game, and it went downhill from there. Iowa was able to do everything they wanted by just bringing four linemen, allowing the Hawkeyes to play UW straight up and use their normal bend-but-don't-break philosophy and simply wait for UW to blow up.

And they did plenty of that.

The guys break down exactly how Washington blew up, starting with a blocked field goal on their first drive of the game, adding to it turnovers, including an interception on UW's first drive of the third quarter when the game's result still hung in the balance.

They also quickly addressed any idea that there might be an actual QB competition between Will Rogers and Demond Williams, but here's a hint; there isn't.

They also go into how Iowa was able to ball control behind their experienced offensive line, Kaleb Johnson doing whatever he wanted running the ball, and Cade McNamara offering enough of a passing threat to keep Steve Belichick and the Huskies off-balance defensively.

After a quick break, Kim goes down the stats, including a couple of very telling numbers when it came to field position, the breakdown of the drives, and how a game that was well within reach starting the second half quickly went Iowa's way after the Huskies gave up the ball via downs on three-straight drives.

And to wrap up the game review, the guys give their final thoughts as the Huskies limp home to Seattle with a huge L and two weeks to heal up before they have to find a way to go back on the road and travel at least two more time zones to square off against an unbeaten Indiana team under first-year head coach Curt Cignetti.
