The sun was shining when the Washington Huskies kicked off against the Oregon State Beavers today. We’ll take all the nice autumn weather we can get before the end of the season. It felt like the Dawgs hadn’t played in ages, after traveling to Oregon and enjoying a bye week, so it was nice to get back at it today in Husky Stadium. This was only my second game of the year (after Stanford), so the rust is still showing a bit. Thankfully, the Huskies provided some good action in the first half especially.
