The Washington Huskies football program is coming off an uncharacteristic 4-8 season in 2021. The Huskies' offense struggled to do much of anything while the defense couldn't stop a nosebleed. Things weren't much better with the Jimmy Lake drama, but the recently successful program has moved forward and looks to a brighter future under new offensive-minded head coach Kalen DeBoer. Joining DeBoer, who spent the last two seasons coaching the Fresno State Bulldogs, will be a cast of misfits including former Indiana quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. Washington will also be banking on guys like Jalen McMillan and Rome Odunze to build off successful freshman campaigns. There is also the intriguing storyline of whether or not Jaxson Kirkland can return to form at left tackle after a devastating injury a year ago. Defensively, it appears to be more of the same for the Huskies, and not in a good way. The defense has to cope with the losses of linebacker Jackson Sirmon and defensive backs Kyler Gordon and Trent McDuffie while returning a crew that largely underwhelmed in 2021. While there is some intriguing young talent on the defensive line with Vio Tunuufi and Faatui Tuitele returning, the defense will be largely based on what transfer linebacker Cam Bright can accomplish in his likely only season with the program, while a secondary of Alex Cook and Asa Turner hopes to rebound. How does all of this play into week six's game against our Arizona State Sun Devils football program? Don't count this is a guaranteed win, says host Richie Bradshaw, as we break down why the Washington Huskies football program could give the Sun Devils more fits than we'd like to see on this edition of the Locked On Sun Devils podcast.
