The Huskies evened up their record at 1-1 with a 41-20 win over Syracuse Today. Washington did not play their best at all but they didn't need to as Syracuse showed the college football landscape that there a basketball school and not a football school.
The important thing is they got the win and at the end of the day the only stat that matters is who has more points at the end of the game.
UW started the game the same way they finished last game. On Syracuse's first possession Washington roughed the Syracuse kicker Rob Long which led to a new set of downs and ultimately Syracuse going up 7-0.
Syracuse added a Field Goal before Washington started to get their legs moving. After some turnovers from the Orange, UW found themselves up 13-10 at half.
In the third quarter Washington took 20 seconds to pad that lead to 20-10 and after Kearse's 28 yard catch to make it 27-10 UW was on their way to a 41-20 victory. However this was a sloppy game for the Dawgs and if they want to upset Nebraska next week they can't fall behind 10-0 like they did today and for sure no roughing the kicker calls because the good teams will finish us in the first half and we will be in a hole to deep to climb out of.
So it should be a intriguing week at practice as Nebraska will come in to town on Saturday. Nebraska took care of Idaho today 38-17 and look like a team on a mission to win the Big 12 in their final year before moving to the Big Ten.
Next weeks game will be a challenge for the Huskies but it won't be impossible and after the game we will know exactly how this team plays versus teams that think they can win the BCS National Title game in early January. The game will Kickoff at 12:30 and can be seen on ABC.
