The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - poured through their notebooks to talk about the main storylines after Washington's 30-9 win over Mid-American Conference foe Eastern Michigan Saturday afternoon at Husky Stadium.

It was a game that had bogey game written all over it, especially given Northern Illinois' upset of Notre Dame, but Washington handled the Eagles well after the first three drives of the game. For the second-straight week the Huskies did not coming out firing in the first quarter, eventually finding their footing during the second quarter and scoring on five-straight drives after punting on their first three possessions.

The guys talked offense first, the slow start, the day had by Will Rogers and Demond Williams getting mixed in at quarterback from time to time, how OC Brennan Carroll devised his offensive line rotations, starting with Zachary Henning as a sixth lineman to take the place of the injured tight end Quentin Moore, as well as the days had the running backs and the receivers. Jonah Coleman had his second 100-yard game in as many weeks, and Jeremiah Hunter finished with five catches after getting skunked against Weber State.

Chris had some choice words on the Big Ten officiating crew after that - not so much the subjective calls that were made (despite some being pretty bad), but more about the game management and their mechanics. It was clear Washington's offense was frustrated at times with their delay in spotting the ball, for instance. It was not their best game.

After a quick break to pay some bills, the chat turned to the defensive side of the ball, starting with Zach Durfee, who finished the game with five tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. Durfee was listed as 'questionable' going into the game, but he spearheaded a UW defensive attack that finished with 7 overall sacks and a forced fumble - the first turnover of the season.

Scott gave a quick recruiting update to note the prospects he saw at the game, and then the guys offered up their final thoughts as now the Huskies head into Apple Cup week.
