A week from today, the Huskies will be in Atlanta, checking out Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the first time and putting the final touches on their preparations for their season opener the next day against No. 9 Auburn (12:30 p.m. PT Sept. 1, ABC).
Larry Stone and I will be in Atlanta, too, preparing to cover what is probably the biggest season opener the Huskies have ever had. Perhaps on Friday we’ll check out the College Football Hall of Fame, located next to the stadium in downtown Atlanta, and perhaps I’ll challenge Stoney to a race in the 40-yard dash on the hall of fame’s mini field.
