DawgmanRadio: Lots to unpack on both sides of the ball after UW's 35-3 win over Weber State

Dawgman Radio: A Washington Huskies athletics podcast

It was hard keeping things straight after Washington's 35-3 win over Weber State to get their 2024 football season off and rolling, but the Dawgman guys got together after the game to give it their best shot.

Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund found themselves in the visiting coaches room next to press row to unpack everything they saw on the day, going all the way back to the Dawg Walk.

Washington Head Coach Jedd Fisch hinted at a lot of production changes that Washington fans would see, and he was not wrong. From the new Dawg Walk to a new video entrance montage, to new features on the Jumbotron, there were a number of things that caught our attention right from the beginning.

After breaking down the new things we saw pregame, we focused next on what we saw on offense, starting with Jonah Coleman's night. Coleman, the former Arizona transfer, ran for 127 yards and three scores to help give the Huskies the cushion they were looking for late in the game.

The guys also broke down Will Rogers' night, the various incarnations of the offensive line that were used, and the receivers as well, including the play where tight end Quentin Moore got hurt and possible additions to the tight end room if their numbers get any thinner.

After a break to pay some bills, the talk turned to the defense, and even more talk about the sheer number of players that ended getting in on that side of the ball. No one really knew exactly what Steve Belichick was holding up his sleeve in terms of scheme and attack, but his defense kept Weber State out of the end zone - and that's no small feat no matter who you are playing. A total of 66 players participated in the Purple and Gold (including 8 true freshmen!), and 35 of them were on the defensive side of the ball.

To finish the review pod, we give our overall thoughts on the night, what we took away from it, the questions we still have moving forward, and more.
