Washington is ready and poised for a big season next year, and the expectations are high. Especially after Jedd Fisch is known for always elevating teams year after year. The Huskies won nine games last season, and fans are eager for more. However, there's a bit of offseason drama with Demond Williams Jr. The hope is that's irrelevant by the season opener.
The schedule is set up for a 10-win season, but let's go through game by game and predict how it goes, on first blush, after the release earlier today:
Sept. 5 - Washington State - Husky Stadium - WIN
Starting with the Apple Cup is nowhere near as fun as it is at the end of the season, but it keeps the tradition alive and allows Washington to be ready for week 1.
