There's excitement, sure. But there's also uncertainty. Who's going to be in your classes? What's the professor like? What are you going to learn? When I was younger, it was, Will I make new friends?", or, What's my locker combo again?" Eventually, you figure out a routine and settle in. I feel like that's exactly what's going to happen with the Huskies this year. There were struggles, obviously. The offense had four holding penalties, including one that negated a Jonah Coleman touchdown run, and I believe that is a function of the newness of the unit itself. Coach Fisch seems to be trying out different combinations, We played two or three right tackles, two centers, four guards," Fisch said Saturday after the win. So if we can continue to https://www.gamedaywashington.com figure out exactly who and what we are upfront that'll help us a lot but we'll keep working through it until we get that right group." I feel as though once the Dawgs find that winning combination and the team continues to gel, they'll give foes fits at the very least. This extended to the defense as well, as the run defense gave up 155 yards on 37 carries in total for an average of 4.2 yards per carry. With so many new starters on the defensive line, combinations have to be found, but giving up that many yards to an FCS school doesn't bode well for a conference with so much firepower at the running back position. I hope the defense adjusts because this is going to be a long season if they don't. But as Alfred said to Bruce Wayne in The Dark Knight Rises, It takes a little time to get back in the swing of things".
