Washington Huskies Sun Bowl Betting Online
Twelve months ago, the University of Washington football team was celebrating its Pac-12 championship won over the weekend in Las Vegas, an unbeaten season through 13 games, and a third consecutive victory over Oregon, and prepared to welcome a much-anticipated recruiting class filled with portal transfers and high school prospects. Five weeks later, everything blew up. Michigan lopsidedly took the national championship game from the Huskies, and Alabama pilfered coach Kalen DeBoer from them. The SEC, ACC, and others raided the UW roster for multiple players, leaving the program in shambles.

Washington Huskies Weekly Recap
Last game, the Washington Huskies lost 49-21 against the Oregon Ducks as 17-point road dogs. The game went over the total of 50. Washington has a record of 6-6 straight up, 5-7 against the spread, and 4-8 over/under the total. Washington ranks 69th for total offense, 39th for passing, 95th for rushing and 109th for scoring.

With freshman Demond Williams Jr. making his first quarterback start against Oregon, everyone got a good look at the University of Washington football future, which seemed to hold some promise. Unfortunately for the Huskies, they first had to pay for the past, and that they did, with the No. 1-ranked Ducks showing little mercy in running up the score in victory at Autzen Stadium.
The UW's three consecutive three-point victories over Oregon over the previous two seasons became distant memories. Dusted off this week, Michael Penix Jr.'s passing heroics were returned to the video library.
And any Montlake gloating over the sudden shift north in Northwest rivalry dominance was effectively muted.
From the opening kickoff, the Ducks were determined to deliver some punishment while continuing on their unbeaten spree through the new conference for everyone in the neighborhood. Their next stop was the Big Ten championship game against Penn State.
On a chilly outing in the Willamette Valley, first, the sun went down, then the Huskies. Oregon took the opening drive and moved down the field without much defensive intervention at all for a 9-yard touchdown run by Noah Whittington. It took all of seven plays and just over four minutes to get it done. It would be the first of seven Ducks touchdowns.
Williams completed 17 of 20 passes for 201 yards and a touchdown and was credited with 22 carries for a net 17 yards, with a long run of 12 yards. Yet he was in for an extra harsh baptism at much of the time, getting sacked 10 times by the Ducks, who blitzed nonstop trying to unnerve the teenager.

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.
