The defense also put on a show, sacking Montana's quarterback six times and forcing two interceptions. This defensive prowess will be crucial against Fresno State's offense. Special teams were not left behind either; they scored through both punt and interception returns.


In their season opener against Rutgers' Scarlet Knights away from home, the Huskies secured a solid 30-14 win. Although they had fewer total yards (353) compared to their game against Montana, they showed efficiency in critical areas such as red zone conversions (100 percent success rate) and field goals (making all three attempts).


The upcoming match promises to be an exciting one as Washington looks to capitalize on its momentum in front of its home crowd at Alaska Airlines Field—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that could give them an extra edge.
