Washington Huskies CFB Week 12 Betting Lines
It has been a difficult first season for head coach Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies. Last year, the Huskies were one win away from the national championship. This year, they will be glad to make a minor bowl game. Washington was blown out at Penn State last week as the transition continues to have moments of despair. This week the Huskies host the UCLA Bruins, another name brand that is all hat and no cattle. UCLA and rookie head coach DeShaun Foster have been off more than on this year. But UCLA is finding itself with three straight wins.

Washington Huskies Weekly Recap
Last game, the Washington Huskies lost 35-6 against the Penn State Nittany Lions as 13-point road dogs. The game went under the total of 47.5. Washington has a record of 5-5 straight up, 4-6 against the spread, and 2-8 over/under the total. Washington ranks 54th for total offense, 33rd for passing, 92nd for rushing and 109th for scoring. Defensively they rank 19th overall, 3rd against the pass, 87th against the rush, and 27th for points allowed. Also, Washington ranks 26th for fewest turnovers lost and 58th for takeaways.
For their annual White-Out Game, Penn State fans wore coats, hoodie sweatshirts, jerseys, construction helmets, stocking caps, baseball caps, bucket hats, cowboy hats, and even wigs, and waved pom poms, all in a matching shade. Collectively, they looked something like a blinding snowstorm or a big bowl of ice cream.
The idea behind this football fashion statement was to get the visitors to raise a white flag and surrender. Jedd Fisch's University of Washington football team readily complied, getting humbled 35-6 on a chilly Saturday night in Beaver Stadium.
If this was another kind of White-Out, sixth-ranked Penn State—by scoring on all four of its first-half possessions without much trouble at all—treated the Huskies like just another typo, erasing them with a few deft strokes to appease the color-coordinated crowd of 110,233, give or take a purple shirt or two, which was the ninth largest in school history.
In the middle of what's been known lately as a swing state, the UW simply wasn't competitive in this playground battle in the heart of the Pennsylvania countryside. Once more, it showed it doesn't have the personnel to win on the road in the conference—failing to do so for the fourth time in as many tries.
Also, the Huskies missed out on an opportunity to secure a bowl bid, giving themselves two more chances against UCLA at home next Friday and against Oregon on the road after Thanksgiving to collect win No. 6.

Although the Washington Huskies have been out more than nationally, they have a rich football tradition. Much of it was built by the late great GOAT of Washington head coaches, Don James. Jim Owens is the other HC on the U-Dub Mt. Rushmore.
Washington has 17 conference championships and four division titles. Washington has two national titles (1960 and 1991).
College Football Hall of Fame members from Washington include Don James, Steve Emtman, and Lincoln Kennedy. And then Hugh McElhenny, Arnie Weinmeister, and Warren Moon are Huskies in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
In 2020, then-Washington Huskies rookie head coach Jimmy Lake didn't get much of a debut season. Lake led Washington to three wins in four games and a berth in the Pac-12 championship game. However, due to the pandemic, the Huskies had to forego their chance for the title.
It was a fitting end to a bizarre season for Washington. Lake had taken over for retired coach and Northwest legend Chris Peterson, but it was impossible to get a read on his coaching ability based on such an incomplete season.
For the 2021 season, Lake got his chance to show what he can do over a full schedule. And it was a disaster. Washington finished 4-8, and Lake failed to complete the season. He was fired for a multitude of reasons. In sum, he lost the support of big-money donors and regular fans.
Kalen DeBoer took over in 2022 and ripped off an 11-2 season with a final national ranking of 8th. In 2023, he took the Huskies to the national championship game. DeBoer has moved on to Alabama, making for an uncertain future at U-Dub.
