Washington didn’t pour on points against Northwestern. Still, its dominance can’t be questioned after a 24-5 blowout victory at Husky Stadium, advancing to 1-0 (3-1 overall) in Big Ten play for the first time in program history.
After last weekend’s struggles in the Apple Cup, it was fair to enter Saturday with a bit of worry. But ultimately, the 2024 version of Northwestern isn’t very good at his whole football thing. When putting a team with that description against one looking to bounce back from a tough loss, the result is a shellacking.
There was never a moment when Washington didn’t feel in control of the ballgame.
