For much of Saturday’s 45-3 victory, Washington didn’t perform quite the way many expected against FCS opponent North Dakota.
While UW put up some highlights through the air, the Huskies struggled to get their vaunted ground game going.
In the first half, UW had 54 rushing yards and averaged 3.4 yards per carry, but that included a 24-yard Myles Gaskin rush to close out the second quarter. Without that run, UW would’ve entered halftime with 30 rushing yards and a 1.9 yards per carry average.
The Huskies had two big runs on their first drive as the first quarter, as Salvon Ahmed set up a 23-yard Sean McGrew touchdown with a 34-yard run of his own, but those two plays accounted for _ of Washington’s _ rushing yards.
