As we approach the start of the 2018 season — 48 days and counting! — it’s worth considering the state of the Washington Huskies football program. With Chris Petersen at the helm, the Dawgs have reclaimed their role as an annual Pac-12 contender, winning the conference in 2016 along with earning the Pac-12’s second berth in the College Football Playoff. In the last three seasons, Washington has posted a 29–11 record while outscoring opponents by an average score of 36.3 to 17.5, while players like John Ross, Budda Baker, Jake Browning, Myles Gaskin and Vita Vea have made themselves household names to fans of college football across the country.
