There’s a reason the Huskies are14th in the Associated Press preseason poll and 18th in the coaches preseason poll. The reason is: They’re good. Potentially very good. Sorry, Coach, but I’m going to join the chorus that sees prosperity ahead for the Huskies.
You know the annual whine of most every college football team: We don’t get enough respect.
Well, the Washington Huskies have turned that one on its ear. Their unorthodox complaint heading into the 2016 season is that they’re getting TOO much respect. Too many accolades, too much positive press, rankings that are too high and projections that are too optimistic.
