Washington Huskies Fall to 0-2 in Big Ten After USC Loss

The University of Washington football team fell to 0-2 in Big Ten play with a loss to USC, leaving coach Jedd Fisch's squad at 3-2 overall and facing a likely struggle to finish above .500 this season. The Huskies' defense performed adequately, limiting explosive plays and forcing short scores, but the offense faltered, including a fourth-quarter sequence where seventh-string walk-on running back Ryken Moon was sacked on his only snap. Wide receiver Dezmen Roebuck threw two passes, including a touchdown, showcasing versatility. Fisch had predicted his team would be "really good" in 2026, but early results suggest an average roster with underperforming stars, missing a chance to climb conference standings amid a weak USC, Michigan, and Penn State.
