About this episode

The episode discusses Brian Bonner's potential breakout performance against Utah State and the impact of injuries on the Washington Huskies' rushing attack.

The Washington Huskies’ running back room faces a turning point as freshman Brian Bonner will get his shot to make a statement against Utah State in his college football debut. Can Bonner and transfer portal acquisition Trey Cooley overcome key injuries to Quaid Carr and Jayden Limar to ignite Jedd Fisch's rushing attack? Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff and Last Word On College Sports' Nick Lemkau break down the impact of Washington’s offensive line, Utah State’s defensive vulnerabilities, and how a young, untested group will respond in the spotlight. On defense, Washington’s dominant front rotation and versatile secondary come into focus after a strong opener. Defensive linemen Russell Davis, Isaiah Ward, Kai McClendon, Derek Colman-Brusa, Ramzak Fruean, and DeSean Watts, and defensive backs Jeron Jones, Dylan Robinson, and Alex McLaughlin turned heads with big plays against Washington State in the opener. With Utah State’s early-season struggles, can the Huskies’ defense capitalize and set the tone before Big Ten play begins?
