Coming off of an 11-win season, the Washington Huskies football team will showcase
“It’s really hard to say what I’ll be looking for today,” said RealDawg.com’s Trevor Mueller. “For the entertainment I want to see Penix bomb one out to Rome Odunze, but I also want to see how Dylan Morris has progressed.”
But there will be a very watchful eye on the Washington defense.
“Bralen Trice and Zion Tupuola-Fetui going up against Troy Fautanu and Roger Rosengarten will be a fantastic spectacle,” Mueller continued. “However, having Edefuan Ulofoshio out there in the middle of that defense might be what I watch the most.”
For the Spring Game, the squads will be broken down by the two-deep roster, having the first unit go against the second unit. There won’t be a time limit, per se, but a schedule of plays broken down as 70 plays between the 1’s and 2’s DeBoer said after practice on Friday.
The first and second units will alternate drives starting at their own 25 yard line in the first session and their own 45 in the second session. DeBoer revealed there there’s going to be an additional intrigue to the field position battle after a score.
“Whoever is ahead on the scoreboard is going to get the raw end of the deal on the next spot,” he said with a slightly devious chuckle. “I get to choose that spot.”
However, a win will only be for team bragging rights.
“They take pride in the wins,” he said about any scoreboard incentive.
