Finally, the Huskies put it all together and gave Mike Hopkins the all-out, 40-minute dominant performance that he’s been seeking all season.
“They had a great focus and they had great energy,” he said after Washington’s 72-40 blowout win over USC on Sunday night. “Those are two things I always believe in with any defense that you play. You got to be able to compete with focus and energy.
“I was really, really happy with the performance.”
Just how happy?
Well, Hopkins was unable to nitpick a 32-point blowout – UW’s most lopsided win in nine years – but we’ll try.
