I’ve been out of town for nearly two weeks, so as far as I’m concerned the lightning debacle against Cal never happened. Can we all agree on that?
The Huskies looked to bounce back from last week’s bizarre upset by turning their attention to the University of Hawaii. Gray skies hung over the stadium prior to the game, with a chance of rain promised for later in the evening. Husky fans hoped any electricity was confined to the play on the field.
The Dawgs took it to Hawaii early and walked away with a relatively sound 52-20 victory. They’ll face a tougher test with their first road game next week at BYU.
