The last time the Huskies had an explosive offense and hosted an early season home game against a ranked opponent was 2016. That game was a dominant 44-8 victory over Stanford that served as a precursor to a CFP run. Those expectations are a little too steep at this point (especially after 2 late Spartan touchdowns) but the Huskies pounced on Michigan Stare early 22-0 and cruised despite some late MSU scores to a 39-28 win in primetime.
Washington’s offense was unstoppable early against Kent State and Portland State but there were questions about what they’d do against Michigan State.
