How do you teach a team to finish games?

That’s not a question for you. It’s a question for Washington’s coaching staff — from Chris Petersen to Bush Hamdan to Jimmy Lake to Pete Kwiatkowski, to all the rest. And on Saturday evening, in the immediate wake of a second consecutive home collapse, that’s verbatim what Hamdan was asked.

“Bush, how do you teach an offense to finish games? How do you go about doing that?”

“Yeah, right now I wish I had an answer for you,” UW’s second-year offensive coordinator said after the 33-28 loss, staring directly ahead, with a black “DAWGS” hat pulled low over his head.
