The Huskies didn't do too great in 2024 with a 6-6 regular season record under new coach Jedd Fisch. They also lost their bowl game against Louisville (by one point). It was a let-down after the 2023 season when the team went 14-1. The best part of that season was beating Oregon twice.
This season is up in the air. Fisch has a good quarterback, a good running back, a good wide receiver, and other impressive players. He's still trying to rebuild the team after almost every starter left after the 2023 season.
We have some tough games ahead of us. On September 27th, we play Ohio State at home. Ohio State is a leading team in the Big 10. While we beat Michigan at home last year, this season we play them in Ann Arbor on their home turf. Again, a tough game. And on November 29th, we play Oregon at home. Oregon is a consistently tough team thanks to Phil Knight's millions of dollars for top-of-the line coaches and NIL money for good players. Oregon is basically a pro team in the NCAA.
We might, if we're lucky, end up with a 8-4 record. (I saw one sports commentator say 9-2 before the Oregon game.) But we'd have to beat Washington State in Pullman and win other tough games on the road. We'll have to see how much progress Fisch has made in building the Huskies back up again.
