  • DawgmanRadio: Huskies lose to themselves and Rutgers at the same time
    Sep 28 2024
    Rutgers Head Coach Greg Schiano is a smart man, and when he sees an opponent that can't get out of their own way, he's not going to do anything to change that. If anything he's going to play ball control offense, bend-but-don't-break defense, and rock-solid special teams. It's what he's known for. But most importantly if you're a Rutgers fan, he didn't outthink himself. He got out of the way when it became clear that the Washington Huskies were hurting themselves more than their opponent, and that was all Rutgers needed to escape with a 21-18 hard-fought win Friday night in Piscataway, New Jersey. While Kim Grinolds was trying to figure out how to get back to his Newark hotel in the dead of night, the other guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters - tried to make sense out of all the nonsense exhibited by the Huskies on the night, one where they outgained their hosts by over 220 yards and still lost. To start the post-game podcast, the guys relay Kim's thoughts when setting the scene for the night, including whether or not the rain or wind would pr ove to be factors in the game (hint: they wouldn't). And then they jump right into the things that immediately jumped out at them, which was mostly negatives. And it's a shame too, because Washington did so much on offense that could have set them up for success, but could only punch it in for six once in four chances. But it was mostly penalties in all three phases that absolutely killed UW's momentum. They talk about those, including the one on the first drive of the game that stalled out a promising drive. After a quick break the guys come back and give the defense their flowers. Of Rutgers' 10 offensive drives, over half of them were three-and-outs. And all three of Rutgers' touchdowns were on drives that lasted over 75 yards. They made the Scarlet Knights earn every inch of grass Friday night. But between the statistical discrepancies and the missed kicks by Grady Gross, including a failed golf analogy by Chris when Scott asked him if he was surprised UW ended the game on the left hash, knowing he had missed two kicks to the left earlier in the night. And they certainly had things to say with regards to Vincent Holmes and his celebration that turned into an illegal substitution penalty. Rutgers scored on the very next play. And with their final thoughts, they ask the question: is this what Washington just happened to do on the night, or is this who they've become? Are they a team that can be relied on defensively but can't get out of their own way on offense and special teams? Are they a team that will simply have a number of boneheaded penalties in any one game, and those penalties could end up spelling the difference between winning and losing?

  • DawgmanRadio: Our Rutgers Pregame Show!
    Sep 27 2024
    While Kim Grinolds was en route to SHI Stadium in New Brunswick, New Jersey, the guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters - got up early on the west coast to put together their thoughts before tonight's game between Washington and Rutgers, the only other Friday night prime time game besides Virginia Tech at Miami. Before getting to tonight's game, Scott and Chris finished up their thoughts on Washington's 24-5 win over Northwestern and the takeaways that should flow right into things they expect to see in New Jersey. Then they go in to their game preview, starting first with the matchup of Washington's offense versus Rutgers' defense. Does Washington have what it takes to ball control and keep the Scarlet Knights' own offense on the sidelines? Does Washington have what's going to take up front to be able to match what the home team is likely to throw at them? After a quick break Scott turns the tables with discussion about Rutgers offense versus Washington's defense. With the Scarlet Knights so good on the ground, can Steve Belichick clamp down Kyle Monangai and turn Rutgers into a one-dimensional attack? Will Washington have enough on the back end to add numbers to the box to get after Minnesota transfer quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis? Scott and Chris give their x-factors - one UW player on each side of the ball - that could very well spell the difference between a Washington win and loss, and needless to say the players picked were along the offensive and defensive lines. And before Scott offers a quick recruiting update on what to expect during Washington's next home game versus Michigan, a redux of the 2024 National Championship Game, the guys also give their thoughts on special teams and how big a factor could they play tonight? If Washington needs a kick to win, how confident are the guys that Grady Gross can get it done? And how confident are they that UW can shore up their cover game to eliminate big returns and plays that could flip field position and give the home team a chance to win late? One thing is for sure; going across the country on a short week to play in a sold out 'black out' game is going to be tough enough for Washington even if they execute the way they want to.

  • DawgmanRadio: The Interns' Rutgers Preview!
    Sep 26 2024
    The Dawgman.com interns - Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger - get going early this week because Washington's game is on Friday. That's right; the Washington Huskies go across the country to play their first-ever Big Ten Conference road game at Rutgers. Game time is 5 pm Pacific Time and is on FOX. But first, the guys go back and give their thoughts on what they saw in Washington's first B1G Conference win, 24-5 over Northwestern at Husky Stadium. And then they jump right into Washington's next opponent, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. There's plenty of connections between the two teams; Jedd Fisch is from New Jersey (Livingston, just northwest from Newark), and defensive coordinator Steve Belichick played at Rutgers under current Rutgers Head Coach Greg Schiano. The guys previewed the Rutgers offense first, followed by their defense. How do they see the Huskies attacking their opponent on both sides of the ball? After a quick break, Jack and Luke go into their Bets to Bark and Betting B1G. In an attempt to replicate Mike Blowers' famous Matt Tuiasosopo home run prediction against Toronto 15 years to the day when the Huskies play Rutgers this week. And it's a doozy! And before they wrap up their game preview, it's the now-famous confidence interval segment. How confident are Jack and Luke of a Washington win in their first true road game of the 2024 season?
