Last year, the Huskies’ defense held opponents to a Pac-12-low 18.8 points per game, the first time UW has led the conference in scoring defense since the Don James era. The bulk of that defense is back, with eight regular starters returning for 2016. Continuing our fall-camp previews, today we look at the linebackers.
