Defensively, the Huskies were just really, really bad against the run in 2020 & 2021. You don’t have to know the numbers, the eye test made most of us nauseous. But in case you want the numbers, they were meager:
2021: 194 rushing yards per game allowed, 4.76 yards per carry (11th & 10th in the Pac 12, respectively)
2020: 161 rushing yards per game allowed, 4.54 yards per carry (this was middle of the Pac-12, but in a four-game season in which one game was a huge blowout of Arizona where UA barely ran).
