UW Husky Football: Dawgs Play on the Smurf Turf

The long wait is over: the college football season is upon us. The second season of the Chris Petersen era begins on the same blue turf that elevated him to the national stage. Only this time, Coach Pete will be on the visiting sideline as the University of Washington takes on the Boise State University Broncos.

The #23 ranked Broncos lost some important players last year to the NFL and graduation, but their offensive line is experienced and well coached. Like the Huskies, Boise faces a lot of QB questions, but unlike his UW counterpart, Bronco Head Coach Bryan Harsin has named a starter.
