THE HUSKIES KICK OFF THEIR SEASON STRONG WITH TWO CONSECUTIVES WINS

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of experiencing the excitement of college football once again as I visited Husky Stadium, a true gem of university football. Located just 10 minutes from downtown Seattle, this unique stadium offers water access, allowing fans to enjoy the famous pre-game "sailgate" in a stunning natural setting.

For this second game of the season, the atmosphere was even more special with the participation of 2,200 local young musicians at halftime, accompanying the renowned Huskies marching band, creating a magical moment for the 64 222 spectators.

Facing Eastern Michigan on Saturday, the Huskies were determined to continue their momentum after a commanding 35-3 victory over Weber State. Despite a slow start marked by execution errors and a blocked punt, the Huskies eventually found their rhythm. Trailing 3-0 after the first quarter, Will Rogers led a brilliant comeback with a 41-yard touchdown pass to Decker DeGraaf. Shortly after, Jonah Coleman sealed the deal with a spectacular 64-yard run, giving the Huskies the lead. The running back finished the game with over 100 yards (104) on 11 carries.

Despite costly penalties, the defense, led by Zach Durfee with 2.5 sacks, along with Carson Bruener, Alphonzo Tupuola, and Cameron Broussard (6 tackles each), held strong, preventing Eastern Michigan from scoring a touchdown.

On offense, Will Rogers completed the game with 21 passes out of 26 attempts, totaling 261 passing yards and 4 touchdowns, targeting Jeremiah Hunter (1), Decker DeGraaf (1), and Denzel Boston (2).

The game ended in a 30-9 victory for the Huskies, who continue to demonstrate their potential this season under the new leadership of Jedd Fisch and Brennan Carroll.

The Huskies will face their (non-conference) rival next week, the Washington State Cougars, at Lumen Field for the 116th renewal of the Apple Cup.
