Offensive lineman Kaleb McGary knows what almost feels like.
He’s familiar with Washington’s misses: The 2016 College Football Playoff loss to Alabama, the near comeback against Penn State in the 2017 Fiesta Bowl. Now, last week’s season-opening loss to Auburn has been added to the list.
Too many errors cost the Huskies in those games, McGary said Wednesday. And even though the latest defeat had more mistakes than most, a victory felt even closer.
“We let that one slip out of our fingers,” McGary said, “and that was our own ... fault.”
