  • DawgmanRadio: 49-21 was pretty much what we thought it was going to be
    Dec 1 2024
    It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't expected to be. Given their massive talent gap on both sides of the ball, as well as their coaching continuity and ability to reload at key positions - like quarterback - No. 1 Oregon was able to brush Washington aside with relative ease en route to a 49-21 shellacking Saturday night in Eugene. For Kim Grinolds, who was on site at Autzen Stadium, as well as Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund back home in the greater-Seattle area, the result was hardly surprising. It was the expected outcome given how their offseason took place, as well as the divergent they took when it came to how their seasons unfolded. One program ran the table en route to being the No. 1 team in the country; the other had to scrape by on the second-to-last game of the season just to get bowl-eligible. But the biggest talking point, and the first thing discussed tonight, was the move from UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch to have true freshman Demond Williams make his first start of the season in Eugene. Without doing an exhaustive look at the record books, we have to believe this is the first time in UW history a true frosh quarterback made his first start ever on the road against the No. 1 team in the country. And he performed really well, all things considered. He finished with a higher passer rating than his Oregon counterpart, Dillon Gabriel, and also led UW to 21 points against a Duck defense that was surrendering less than 16 points a game. However, it was the inability of Washington to muster anything on the ground, coupled with Oregon's ability to pick and choose the kind of running game they wanted all night long, that proved to be the difference in the game. Gabriel really didn't have to test Washington's defense because their best offense was handing the ball off to Jordan James and Noah Whittington. And defensively, Oregon was able to wreak a ton of havoc with their base attack, eventually forcing 16 tackles for loss and 10 sacks against a Washington offensive line that was outmatched at every turn. Most of the night, Williams had little to no time to look downfield, let alone go through a progression. Now that the game is over, what does Washington do going forward? Signing Day is this coming Wednesday, and the transfer portal window opens up the following Monday. It's safe to say the UW coaches have their hands full, as well as their plates because right around when the portal opens is the same time the team will learn which bowl game they will be playing in. And before the guys gave their final thoughts on the game and what UW needs to do moving forward, they talked about what bowl game the Huskies will likely go to. There were Independence Bowl reps in Eugene Saturday night, so is it a done deal that the Huskies will be heading to the Bayou? Kim has been hearing about another bowl that could be a possibility, and this destination is much closer to home.

  • DawgmanRadio: Our Oregon Pregame Show!
    Nov 30 2024
    The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - get together to offer up their thoughts on the Washington-Oregon game as Scott Eklund works his way back from the east coast. If there was ever a game where Washington would have a free roll to do what they wanted to try and upset the No. 1 team in the country, today's game would be the day. It's doubtful a loss would change where they end up as far as a bowl is concerned, but that doesn't mean there isn't a ton of intrigue about this game. For starters, who will Jedd Fisch start at quarterback - Will Rogers or Demond Williams? Fisch already said this week that he knows what his plan is for using both players, and Kim and Chris have slightly different takes on who should start and how each should be used. That talk morphs into a general conversation about what Washington needs to do in order to have success against Oregon's defense, one that should be getting DL Jordan Burch back. How will the OL deal with Matayo Uiagalelei? After a quick break the sides are switched. How can Washington's defense cope with a powerful Oregon offensive attack led by Dillon Gabriel, Jordan James, Terrance Ferguson, and Tez Johnson? Getting Johnson back is a huge deal for UO OC Will Stein. And the question is asked; since Oregon is already guaranteed a Big Ten Championship Game berth, will Dan Lanning and the Ducks be looking ahead with one eye toward that game? Or will Lanning try and exorcise demons from the past two seasons of losing to Washington with one aim only; to run up the score and leave no doubt? A win over Washington doesn't really do much when it comes to Oregon's ultimate aims, but what about preparing for the Big Ten Championship and everything that comes with that win, including a bye week in the 12-team playoff? Kim and Chris finish off the pregame show with some thoughts on Washington's Acrisure Invitational Tournament win this week in Palm Springs. First year head coach Danny Sprinkle won his first hardware for the Purple and Gold, beating Alcorn State, Colorado State, and then Santa Clara for the title. They also talk a little about Washington's latest 2025 commit, Prolific Prep F Niko Bundalo, a commitment that literally came out of nowhere this week.

  • DawgmanRadio: The Interns' Oregon Game Preview!
    Nov 29 2024
    Dawgman.com's Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger get into the holiday spirit this week with their Thanksgiving game week preview, but it's not the Apple Cup! Now that both Oregon and Washington are in the Big Ten and Washington State is in the college football wilderness, it's time to turn the page and look at the rivalry between UO and UW as the true big Pacific Northwest rivalry game. But before they go into the meat of the game against the No. 1 Ducks, the guys recap the UCLA win at Husky Stadium that got the Huskies to bowl eligibility. And that chat folds right into one of the big conversations for Washington fans this week; should Demond Williams start at quarterback instead of Will Rogers? The conversation then merges into a breakdown of Washington's defense and what they can try and do to stop a potent Oregon attack, and then the tables are flipped. What can Washington's offense do against Oregon's stout defense, especially their pass rush? After a break, the guys go into the players they expect to shine in their Bet to Bark segment, and then go into their Betting B1G talk where they look at other conference games and compare their season-long predictions. And then to finish up they go into their Confidence Intervals, which measures just how good they are feeling about a Washington win in Eugene.
