DawgmanRadio: Where does Washington go from here after 35-6 loss at Penn State?

Dawgman Radio: A Washington Huskies athletics podcast

The guys from Dawgman.com - Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters - do their best to break down the key moments in Washington's 35-6 loss at Penn State Saturday night, and one of the biggest moments happened during the Nittany Lions' first drive of the game.

After going the length of the field only to get denied by the right upright, the Huskies then lost one of their top defenders in cornerback Thaddeus Dixon to a targeting call. In our opinion it was the play of the game because it set the tone for UW's defense the rest of the way, it also took a key player out of the Huskies' arsenal, forcing them to go to their already thin bench.

After a break, the guy broke down their thoughts on arguably the biggest move of the game from Washington's standpoint - the move to Demond Williams and away from Will Rogers at quarterback. Jedd Fisch wanted to give the opportunity to the true freshman, but also understood that the Huskies needed something that Rogers wasn't able to give them. In the first half Washington totaled 71 yards of offense, 50 through the air. UW came up with 122 yards of total offense in the second half, as well as six points.

But Scott and Chris also discuss why this game was pretty much a loss from the start. The first two drives told the story of how Washington has struggled to finish drives and keep teams out of the end zone, and it didn't get any better as the game wore on.
